Around 300 million diapers are sold every day around the world. Not in #Gaza where diapers are largely unavailable. A consistent flow of essential supplies—including diapers, soap and wipes—is critical for children’s survival and health. This can only be done through the UN, including UNRWA.

Caregivers in #Gaza are resorting to desperate measures—cutting up old clothes or stitching plastic bags into makeshift diapers. These unsafe alternatives pose a serious risk of infection for children. Thousands of children in Gaza are in urgent need of diapers. Supplies are just a short distance away, waiting in UNRWA warehouses. Lift the siege and let aid in at scale, including hygiene items.

In #Gaza, “we have 600,000 girls and boys currently living in the rubble, and we have absolutely no other future than the trauma of the last 20 months,” says our UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini @Philippe Lazzarini to @npub17zfv...kqd7 on @npub1hxqu...2ex5 UNRWA is the main #education

UNRWA remains the largest provider of emergency learning and psychosocial support in #Gaza. Recently, teenage girls took part in a session focused on self-awareness, problem-solving and positive thinking using dialogue and creative ideas. Through such activities, UNRWA continues to provide vital support. #UNRWAworks

It has been nearly seven weeks since the State of Israel banned the entry of humanitarian aid, medical and commercial supplies, food, vaccines for children and fuel into the #Gaza Strip. The siege must be lifted, crossings must re-open for a steady flow of aid, and the #ceasefire must be renewed.
