UNICEF Switzerland and Liechtenstein Children’s Fund | for every child

Children in Lebanon are at growing risk of health and protection issues – including waterborne diseases like cholera, hepatitis and diarrhoea – as the continued bombardment of the country increasingly disrupts and damages essential services that families rely on.

UNICEF is providing 167 metric tons of medical supplies for about 2 million people affected by the rapidly escalating conflict in Lebanon, especially women and children.

 At least 13 children were reportedly killed and another 4 injured in airstrikes in Al Kuma, in Sudan’s North Darfur State on Friday. The children who were killed were between the ages of 6 and 17.
