What does humanitarian response look like? Sometimes it looks like this. When recent floods struck Nuristan, Afghanistan, a UNICEF partner, Habib Rahman Rasoolzai, took action, crossing a fast-flowing river to reach a remote household. This way, he was able to gather critical information on the impact of the floods and the urgent assistance required. Habib was supported by UNICEF and his team with essential field safety equipment and risk-mitigation measures while making the crossing. We’re grateful for humanitarian workers like Habib who go to all lengths possible for the well-being of children and families.

Measles is spreading in Bangladesh - with over 190,000 suspected cases reported since March 2026. When one-year-old Ayatullah suddenly started showing signs of illness, his father Abdul Razzak brought him to a hospital. That’s when he was diagnosed with measles. “Let’s be ready to get the measles vaccine, because even a small moment of negligence or distraction could lead to serious suffering later,” says Abdul Razzak. To protect children’s health and help curb the ongoing outbreak, UNICEF is procuring vaccines and supporting emergency catch-up programmes.
