Singing "wheels on the bus go round and round" is fun anytime, but when it's with Ms Rachel, the joy is doubled and so is the speed of the song. Last October, amid the impact of war and violence, a song and a friend gave children in Gaza a moment of joy, to just be children. Every child, everywhere, has the right to play. #InternationalDayofPlay

A smile. A hug. A game. These moments with your child help build strong foundations for life. That's why UNICEF is working with governments to help caregivers access the tools and time they need to give their children the best start in life.

While the children of the world want warmth and safety, the children of Gaza face harsh cold, finding joy in a drink inside tattered tents, their little hearts trembling from hunger instead of play and rest.

The recent conflict in Lebanon displaced over 400,000 children. As they return to their homes, this is what they are finding. The protection of children and their families - including mental health support - must continue to be prioritized.

This is what the lack of supplies and functioning hospitals in Gaza is doing to children like seven-year-old Janna. The children of Gaza need an immediate ceasefire and access to life-saving aid now.
