Emergency response efforts also include delivering therapeutic foods to treat acute malnutrition and micronutrients to tackle deficiencies.

Five years ago, conflict forced more than 700,000 Rohingya people out of Myanmar’s Rakhine state and into a refugee settlement in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Today, that settlement is one of the largest in the world with more than 400,000 school-aged children alone. Many of these children, specifically girls between the ages of 12 and 14, are leaving school behind. @UNICEF and partners are working around the clock — including going door-to-door to discuss the importance of education with families — to help them get back to class. #ForEveryChild, equitable access to education and opportunity.

Today marks six months of war in #Ukraine. Millions of children and families have been forced to leave behind their homes, friends and livelihoods. Here are some of their stories. 💙 Natalia, 43, and her 11-year-old twins Yana and Yaroslav were at the railway station in Kramatorsk when a missile struck. Natalia and Yana had stepped away while Yaroslav watched their belongings to get a cup of tea. When disaster struck, the family was separated. Since, they’ve been reunited. Natalia and Yana are recovering from their amputations and, as a family, they’re beginning to heal from the trauma of the war.� 💙 Olena, 43, and her 9-year-old son Mikhailo were separated for a month during intense fighting near their home. A photo shows the moment they reunited in front of their house, which was destroyed by shelling. 💙 Valentyn, 84, drove more than 1,200 kilometers across several days without rest to bring his son, daughter-in-law, three grandchildren and their dog to safety. #ForEveryChild and every family, peace. 📸 @unicef_ukraine

Today begins #WorldWaterWeek, a time designated to addressing global water-related issues and mapping out strategies for improving access to clean water. Around the world, more than 2 billion people lack reliable access to safe water, heightening their risks of diseases, forcing children out of school and more. In the Androy region of Madagascar, pictured above, the Manabovo river is completely dry. Children and families gather on its bed, digging holes in hope of finding the water they so desperately need. UNICEF works with partners around the clock, helping to deliver safe water and water purification tools during emergencies and developing long-term solutions for regions in need. #ForEveryChild, safe water. 📸 @UnicefMada
