New York, United States (HRNW): UNICEF has warned that escalating economic challenges linked to ongoing conflicts and global instability could push more than 23 million additional children into poverty, placing their health, education, nutrition, and protection at greater risk. In its latest assessment, UNICEF called on governments and international partners to strengthen social protection systems and increase investments in child-focused services to prevent long-term setbacks for children’s rights.
According to UNICEF, children are disproportionately affected by economic shocks, with many families struggling to access adequate food, healthcare, education, and social services. The organization emphasized that early investment in children is essential to achieving sustainable development and reducing inequalities.
UNICEF continues expanding humanitarian operations across conflict-affected regions, providing emergency nutrition, immunization campaigns, safe drinking water, education support, child protection services, and healthcare to millions of children facing humanitarian emergencies. The organization has also appealed for increased international funding to sustain life-saving programmes in countries experiencing conflict and displacement.
The organization reaffirmed that protecting children’s rights remains central to global peace, stability, and sustainable development, urging governments to prioritize policies that safeguard every child’s right to survive, learn, and thrive.
