尼古拉斯・莫爾德斯報導一年前，在珍妮特社區裏，不同族群之間發生暴力衝突，迫使她逃離了她的村莊。現在，她是學校和平委員會的積極成員。在學校幫助下，珍妮特通過表演戲劇和組織其他活動引起關注，為她的社區裡不和諧的族群之間建立橋樑。「我的村莊被攻擊而且被燒毀，我被迫和家人一起逃了出來。」珍妮特說：「走了幾天後，我們在一個為流離失所的人們提供庇護的地方避難，直到那裡也被攻擊和燒毀我們才離開。我們最後只能躲在尼恩祖市的一個破舊的倉庫裏。」連續好幾週，有超過15,000人被困在倉庫裡，他們大部分是婦女和兒童，因為害怕遭到報復而不敢離開。當地政府的調解最終為這場衝突畫上了句號。學校：回歸和平的優先選擇在聯合國兒童基金會的支持下，政府把重開學校作為首要任務。「一些學[...]

Ahmed, 13, at an unaccompanied minor shelter in Trabia, Italy, on May 19, 2016. The boys live at Rainbow, a government administered center for unaccompanied boys that provides shelter, food, education and legal help for unaccompanied asylum seekers in Trabia, Sicily. Of the 150,000 migrants and refugees who arrived in Italy in 2015, the vast majority of people are coming from West Africa.

In May 2016, since the beginning of 2016, almost 184,500 people have crossed the Mediterranean to seek safety and protection in Europe. Following the significant change in the situation in south-eastern Europe, UNICEF is revising its funding needs and programmatic response to adapt to the needs of refugee and migrant children in Greece, Turkey, Italy and other European countries. One of the main challenges in the current situation is reaching invisible refugee and migrant children, taking dangerous illegal routes and facing heightened risks of abuse, exploitation and trafficking.

On 16 September, Shaima, 10, and a classmate hold hands while standing beside rubble from a destroyed part of Shujeiyah Girls School in Shujaiyeh neighbourhood in eastern Gaza City. Ten days into the recent escalation of violence between Israel and Gaza, her family moved to her grandfathers ground-floor apartment, which was thought to be a safer place. Early morning, the shelling got closer, Shaima says. Suddenly a bomb fell nearby. Everyone ran out, except for my father and younger sister. I heard people scream that he was dead. Her father, Adel, was on the sofa in the living room with her 2-year-old sister, Dima, in his arms, trying to rock her to sleep, when a shell struck the neighbours house. Both Adel and Dima were killed by shrapnel that came bursting through the walls. I saw my uncle carrying my sister, Shaima recalls. I realized her head was cut off in the shelling. I didnt look at my fathers body, because I was afraid his wounds were as bad. I ran away. Now she is visited regularly by a counsellor from the Palestinian Centre for Democracy and Conflict Resolution (PCDCR), a UNICEF partner that specializes in child trauma. The counsellor sees her at home and helps her talk about her experience. I was not able to say goodbye to my dad, Shaima tells the counsellor. I dont want to be an orphan; I want my dad to be with me. I only have wonderful memories of him. He used to buy me toys, even if I did not ask for them. I wish I could see him and my sister Dima again. I used to play with her. I liked to dress her and comb her hair.

In September 2014 in the State of Palestine, children continue to recover from 50 days of intense violence that engulfed the territory during July and August. The conflict which ended with a ceasefire on August 26 left 506 children dead and more than 3,000 injured, while destroying an estimated 18,000 houses in Gaza.

On 4 May 2016, baby Milagro Carbo naps on a hammock in one of the classrooms of the school "31 de Marzo", which is being used as a shelter for families affected by the earthquake in Nuevo Pedernales, Manabi, Ecuador. The baby girl was named Milagro, meaning miracle in Spanish as she was born only hours before the earthquake struck.

As at 30 April 2016, it is estimated that approximately 720,000 of the 7.9 million people living in the six most affected provinces have been impacted by the earthquake that struck Ecuador on 16 April 2016. About 350,000 people are in need of urgent assistance, of which 250,000 are children and adolescents. Field assessments confirm significant levels of damage. Houses have been destroyed, the public health system is in emergency status, food and water are scarce, and streets are filled with rubble. Infrastructure, including many roads and bridges, has been severely damaged, resulting in logistics and communications challenges in some areas. Due to continual aftershocks, there is a progressive displacement of population to safer areas. Heavy rainfall is exacerbating the damage, causing floods and stagnant water, increasing the number of breeding sites for mosquitoes. This results in a higher risk of mosquito-borne diseases such as the ZIKV and dengue fever, which already pose an immediate threat to survivors. The Government of Ecuador is providing and coordinating comprehensive response actions. Despite the strong national capacity and large efforts already being undertaken, the national response capacity is overstretched. Priority needs requiring urgent humanitarian assistance are safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), infant and young child feeding (IYCF), health and nutrition, temporary shelter, food, temporary education and protective spaces, child protection, psychosocial assistance and debris removal to support early recovery efforts. Protection services are especially needed for orphaned and separated children. UNICEF has s
