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.

“Children in the West Bank have the same rights as children everywhere: to live, to learn, to be protected, and to imagine a future beyond violence and fear. UNICEF will continue to advocate for the protection of all children and to provide humanitarian assistance and protection to every child we can reach. But humanitarian organizations cannot create the political conditions that children need to be safe. That responsibility rests with Member-States who have the power to change them.” UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Hannan Sulieman's remarks at the United Nations Security Council meeting on escalating violence in the West Bank:
