Two hundred and forty-four days of relentless war on children! #ChildrenAreNotATarget #ConventionOnTheRightsOfTheChild #InternationalHuminatarianLaw
Over the past ten days alone, we have seen images of burned children across different areas of #Rafah, including the horrific overnight attack on a school sheltering civilians in Al Nuserat camp. Yet, these are just the last 10 days. The reality is that children in #Gaza have been living this nightmare of relentless attacks for the past 8 months, leaving a trail of devastation and unimaginable suffering and pain. This is a stark reminder that there is no safe place for children in Gaza. More children will continue to be killed under the world’s watch if immediate action is not taken to stop the violence.

The best interests of the child, as articulated in Article 3 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, must remain central to decisions that impact them. The Pandemic Agreement must prioritize the child! @UNICEF #ForEveryChild #PandemicAgreement
