This is little Ummusalama. After her malnutrition screening, she’s been identified as one in two million children in Nigeria suffering from severe acute malnutrition.

Thanks to this house visit and screening, Ummusalama can now get the nutrition she needs to grow healthy. Supported by UNICEF and partners, these health counselling sessions aren’t just giving children the resources they need to thrive – they're empowering caregivers to prevent malnutrition in the first place.

When we come together, we can give every child the healthy childhood they deserve.

“I hope my daughter fully recovers from malnutrition, returns to good health and grows like other children.”

When Nour fled to a refugee camp with her baby daughter Noura, the seven-month-old was diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition, the result of harsh living conditions and limited access to food.

Food shortages are still widespread across Gaza. But at a UNICEF-supported community centre, Noura has been receiving nutritional supplements like ready-to-use therapeutic food, and is on her way to recovery.

Despite the challenges, we’re still on the ground making sure children like Noura get the care they need to grow up healthy.

One year ago, Fadel’s life changed forever in a split second – while going to buy snacks with his brother, an airstrike hit the area.

Fadel, 14, has since had both his legs amputated and continues to suffer from health complications. His brother Amir, 11, has lost vision in his left eye.

The war has had a devastatingly brutal impact on children’s lives. Fadel and Amir are among the thousands of children who have been injured and must now live with lifelong disabilities.

Despite the ceasefire, violence hasn't stopped for children in Gaza. Children like Fadel and Amir deserve to grow up healthy, happy and without fear, and we continue to call for every child to be protected.

Meet Aruna, a fundraiser and UNICEF Australia staff member from our last Dusk to Dawn walk!

“The walk pushed me physically and mentally, and there were definitely moments when I had to dig deep to keep going. But knowing I was walking for children affected by emergencies kept me moving.

Crossing the finish line at sunrise was an incredible feeling. Tired, relieved, proud – and grateful to be part of something bigger than myself. Sharing the achievement with family and friends and knowing I had done it for children in need made the experience even more meaningful.”

For far too long, children in Gaza have endured bombardments, violence, and fear.

But this is the Gaza that they dream of. Safe homes. Education. Health care. Protection. A chance to simply by children.

This is the Gaza they want.

"I want to learn more about preparing the best food for my family with the food I have.”

For mothers like Matilda, the dry season in Timor-Leste can mean fewer vegetables and less nutritious food, leading to malnutrition in children.

But UNICEF is conducting interviews and group discussions to share knowledge of nutritional feeding practices and reduce stunting rates in communities.

By creating change at a community level, we’re one step closer to giving children the healthiest possible start to life!

Despite the challenges, UNICEF has stayed on the ground for the children of Gaza, and your support has made that possible.

Your generosity has helped mothers and newborns receive health care, provided children with treatment for malnutrition and lifesaving vaccinations, given families access to clean water, and helped children return to learning after three years of no education.

With your support, we can keep giving children in Gaza hope. Please donate: https://unicef.au/3VGb4YE

Every girl deserves to choose her own future.

But around the world, 1 in 5 girls is married before she turns 18, often leaving school, and her plans, behind.

When girls are supported to learn, know their rights and build skills, they don't just change their own lives. They change their families and communities too.

From youth-led workshops on child rights to skills training and life skills programs, UNICEF is working alongside girls to end child marriage and make sure they have the education and skills to choose what comes next.

Young people today are the most digitally connected generation in history, but report the highest rates of loneliness of any age group.

That’s why UNICEF is leading the Global Youth Mental Health Coalition to launch the ‘Turn Down the Noise’ campaign – turning down the ‘inner noise’ that can get in the way of reaching out for support.

This , let’s turn down the noise and connect with the people we care about 💙
