Today's visit to Baghlan province, Northern Afghanistan, alongside UN Afghanistan, offered a sobering glimpse into the aftermath of recent flash floods. UNICEF Afghanistan & partners are providing vital support, incl. safe water, supplies, cash & psychosocial support. Ugent needs remain.

UNICEF Afghanistan welcomes the support from the Afghanistan Humanitarian Trust Fund to scale up the treatment of #children with severe acute malnutrition in Afghanistan. Lots of thanks to KSrelief IsDB Group OIC. UNICEF South Asia UN Afghanistan

A new €13 million grant from the EU will support malnutrition treatment & community-based education for over 78,000 children in #Afghanistan. UNICEF & EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 EUinAfghanistan continue working together, bringing hope to children in Afghanistan. unicef.org/afghanistan/pr…

The house-to-house campaign modality is the gold standard for #PolioEradication. Vaccinating children on the doorstep is critical to interrupt transmission. Despite changed modalities UNICEF Afghanistan is committed to optimizing campaigns and advocating for maximum reach & quality.

My colleague Clara Dube met recently w/ #children in Janat Bagh Village, Kunduz where 4,340 people now access clean & safe drinking water, right outside their door! With flexible funding & support from USAID, UNICEF Afghanistan built 340 new water connections for 620 families.

Today is the International #DayOfTheGirl. I believe that with the right resources & opportunities, their potential is limitless. Today, I renew my commitment to the #survival, #development, #protection & #participation rights of the girl-child. UNICEF Afghanistan UNICEF South Asia

We should all raise our voices for #Afghan girls and women whose voices are being silenced and dreams denied. Locked out of schools, confined to home, rights denied, they have few prospects beyond early marriage. No country can get ahead if half its population is left out.

.@Unicef is alarmed by reports that the de facto authorities in #Afghanistan plan to ban women from studying in medical faculties. A ban would further limit women's ability to contribute to society & have consequences for the health of the Afghan people. unicef.org/press-releases…

If true, and the DFA in Afghanistan intends to ban women from medical studies, the consequences for women & children & families will be disastrous. Lives will be lost. UNICEF calls on the DFA to continue to allow women to pursue medical education. Read Catherine Russell statement 👇🏼

With the situation in #Syria rapidly evolving, UNICEF calls for the protection of all children. We remain steadfast in our commitment to remain on the ground. Syria's children deserve a future of peace, dignity and opportunity. My statement 🔽 unicef.org/press-releases…
