Ebola is spreading across the Democratic Republic of the Congo, putting children at increasing risk.

As of 11 June, the DRC has reported 676 confirmed cases and 136 confirmed deaths.

For many children, access to healthcare was already limited due to years of conflict and instability. As the outbreak grows, the risk of infection inside homes and communities increases – meaning more children could be affected in the days ahead.

Every Ebola outbreak places children at risk – not only from the virus itself, but from the wider disruption to health, nutrition, education and protection systems.

UNICEF is working with partners to support the response by delivering essential supplies, including medicines, hygiene kits, and medical equipment. We are also engaging with communities to provide information about the virus, helping families understand how Ebola is transmitted and how to reduce the risk of infection.

We must protect children and prevent further spread through rapid action and ongoing support for communities and health services. Immediate, safe and sustained humanitarian access is vital.

All children, no matter where they are in the world, have a right to access to healthcare, including vaccines they need to survive and grow up strong.

In Gaza, children have been cut off from essential life-saving services, and health infrastructure has been destroyed by ongoing conflict. An urgent immunisation campaign is being led by Dr. Younis to protect all previously unvaccinated children from the spread of polio, which has been detected for the first time in 25 years.

Team members risk their lives to deliver vaccines during ongoing violence, logistical challenges and security risks to reach 600,000 children in Gaza with lifesaving vaccines.

Immunisation provides hope for a future beyond conflict. UNICEF and its partners are prepared to protect children no matter where they are.

Donations to Soccer Aid for UNICEF help support immunisation campaigns, allowing vulnerable children to have access to health care, vaccines, and most importantly hope.

📚 A donation of £10 could help vaccinate over 60 children against deadly and devastating diseases, with life-long protection

📚 A donation of £20 could provide 133 children with a single dose of oral Polio vaccine

Meet Michael from Sierra Leone, a 23 year old farmer who is nurturing more than crops - he is helping to transform his community through education and action on climate sustainability.

As a child, he witnessed his family struggle with drought and poor harvests. Over time, that experience inspired his journey to become an advocate for sustainability.

He has already developed a composting technique that reduced his community's reliance on chemical fertilisers and has also turned the schoolyard of his local school into a thriving farm and outdoor classroom, where young students grow vegetables as well as their passion for climate-smart farming.

And, that’s not all.

Michael is the co-founder and executive Director of a youth-led organisation promoting environmental sustainability. Currently, the group is building solar dryers to reduce post-harvest losses and mentoring young students in climate clubs.

On , we’re spotlighting Michael, and the incredible work he does within his community💙

Right now, one in five children are living in conflict zones. In this film, we hear from children who have been directly affected by conflict and war around the world.

From Gaza, Ukraine and Syria to Lebanon and Sudan, children are living through war, displacement, and unimaginable loss. But even in the darkest moments, they still have hope of their future.
