Children in Gaza continue to be killed, injured and deprived of aid. The few trucks that have entered with life-saving supplies are nowhere near sufficient and have yet to reach those in desperate need. We're running out of supplies inside Gaza, and we're running out of time.

Yesterday’s visit to the صندوق الحماية الاجتماعية – سلطنة عمان Centre in AlRustaq was a chance to see how systems are working across #Oman to protect the most vulnerable families. Social protection helps ensure every child grows up with dignity, security and opportunity 💙

With the threat of famine in Gaza growing by the day, UNICEF and aid partners must be allowed to do our job.  We cannot stand by while children are dying.    My opinion piece in the The New York Times      nytimes.com/2025/05/29/opi…

Horrific attack on a WFP/UNICEF aid convoy in Sudan killing 5 members of a mission trying to bring food & nutrition supplies to children & families facing famine in El Fasher. Our hearts are with their loved ones. Humanitarians must never be a target. unicef.org/press-releases…

Truly impressed by the world-class facilities at المدينة الطبية الجامعية — but even more inspired by the passion and dedication of the teams working to deliver the highest quality care.

Child protection has been close to my heart since the start of my career. Last week’s national training brought together professionals from across #Oman to strengthen unified practices to keep children safe. Proud to see such dedication in action. unicef.org/oman/press-rel……

Wonderful to reconnect with Prof. Thuwayba Barwani, Vice-Chair of the UN CRC Committee (UNChildRights) , during the closing of #Oman’s national child protection training. Her insights and commitment to advancing children’s rights are always inspiring!

The adoption of the CLAC for Oman reminds us that #climateaction is about people, especially children and youth. Listening to their perspectives helps us ensure that #Oman’s climate policies strengthen their resilience and future opportunities.

A pleasure to meet Khalifa Alharthy, especially together with our sister UN agencies. As we mark UN at 80, I'm proud to work together as "One UN" #ForEveryChild in #Oman.

2-days later, I'm still reflecting on the stimulating #OmaniWomensDay presentation by Samra AlHarthy, Chief Economist جهاز الاستثمار العُماني - سلطنة عُمان. Huge thanks to Sadaf & Dentons Muscat for hosting such a dynamic group of women - and some wonderful male allies too!
