In 2023, the number of children dying globally before their fifth birthday declined to a record low: 4.8 million. Despite this remarkable achievement, decades of progress in child survival are at risk. Learn more.

Since 2000, child deaths have dropped by more than half and stillbirths by over a third. We must protect the hard-won gains in child survival. Join us in calling on governments to invest in child health and ensure every child, everywhere has access to life-saving healthcare.

Every child deserves the best start in life. Yet, for millions of children, this is not the reality. Governments must step up and implement policies and financial commitments to end child food poverty and malnutrition. #N4GParis

Routine vaccines have saved 154M lives worldwide in the past 50 years. The measles vaccine alone has saved nearly 94M lives. We cannot reverse course in protecting children's health & survival. Every child, everywhere, needs access to life-saving immunizations. #VaccinesWork

The world is a very tough place for millions of children and a global funding crisis is leaving them more vulnerable. In response, ahead of his 50th birthday, David Beckham is launching a fundraiser for UNICEF, to help children dream and thrive. Donate: unicef.link/4joTNud

David, thanks so much for your tireless support of UNICEF's work for over 20 years as a Goodwill Ambassador. The global funding crisis is putting the lives of millions of children at risk.   All of us at UNICEF are grateful for your tremendous commitment.

His Holiness Pope Francis loved children and called on the world to reject the globalization of indifference to the terrible challenges they face. May his memory inspire us all to do better.

Funding cuts limit our ability to vaccinate over 15M vulnerable children against measles in fragile and conflict-affected countries. Vaccines save lives. We can't lose ground in the fight against preventable diseases. #WorldImmunizationWeek👇 unicef.org/press-releases…

Measles outbreaks are on the rise. But the good news is that we can stop this. Measles vaccines are the best way to protect children from getting sick with measles and spreading it to others. Join our efforts in eradicating measles once and for all. #WorldImmunizationWeek

She goes door to door on horseback to vaccinate children. Meet Jiydegul from Kyrgyzstan, who has been a lifeline in her community for the last 37 years, reaching out to families with life-saving vaccines.

Vaccines are one of the most effective tools we have to protect children from life-threatening diseases. But millions of children across Eastern & Southern Africa are still missing out. Let’s continue to strengthen routine immunization & ensure we reach every child with vaccines.

Vaccines have saved 154M lives in 50 years, thanks to consistent investment of flexible funding from UNICEF's key government partners. We call on governments to scale up their flexible funding investments to ensure that no child dies of a vaccine-preventable disease.

The ongoing synchronized polio campaigns in the Lake Chad Basin need to be effective as ending transmission of the poliovirus variant depends on it. We must ensure a coordinated response across the five countries and remain focused, determined and united to get the job done.

Great to meet Gavi Board Chair José Manuel Barroso at UNICEF to discuss the @Gavi alliance. UNICEF is a proud partner in the alliance that has played a role in vaccinating over a billion children in 25 years. A fully-funded Gavi can save the lives of countless more. #VaccinesWork

Momentous day for public health! Today World Health Organization (WHO) Member States adopted the Pandemic Accord. It’s a clear demonstration that we’ve learned from the devastation of COVID-19 and that with global solidarity we can ensure a safer and healthier future for all. #WHA78
