UN Geneva press briefing chaired by Rolando Gómez, Chief, Press and External Relations Section, UN Information Service. Deadly illusion of the Gaza ceasefire. James Elder, for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), speaking from Amman, stated that for many months, the world had been told there was a ceasefire in Gaza. Yet for Palestinian children, this so-called ceasefire had become a cruel, and a deadly, illusion. Since the announcement of the ceasefire in October 2025, 265 Palestinian children had been killed across Gaza. That was an absurd and devastating figure. During a period supposedly defined by restraint and protection, a child had been killed, on average, every single day for more than eight months. Mr. Elder stressed that these children had not been killed in a warzone. They had been killed in their homes, in their schools, playing football, fishing. They had been shot, bombed, stricken by quadcopters. While the world continued to speak the language of ceasefire, f...

Press Briefing with the WHO, UNICEF, UN WOMEN, ILO.

UN Geneva press briefing chaired by Rolando Gómez, Chief, Press and External Relations Section, UN Information Service. Update on Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Dr. Douglas Noble, United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Global Lead for Public Health Emergencies and Global Incident Manager for Ebola, who had just returned from Bunia in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), stated that eastern DRC had endured years of conflict, with many children and families displaced, hospitals short on supplies, and people constantly on the move, which made surveillance and response difficult. The situation of children was particularly challenging; in Ituri, more than half of children under five were chronically malnourished and more than one in five were zero-dose children, which meant that they had never received their first dose of the basic diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine, making them very vulnerable. Past Ebola outbreaks had shown what it could mean for child...
