The Democratic Republic of the Congo has one of the world's worst displacement crises amid fighting between armed groups and "should get attention and the support its population deserves," says Janti Soeripto (Janti Soeripto). democracynow.org/2024/6/4/janti…

We're horrified at yet another attack on a UN-run school in Gaza that has killed dozens, including children. This is a never-ending loop of killing, condemnations and inaction. Children and families are paying the heaviest price. We need a definitive ceasefire now.

Sudan continues to face a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions. The conflict, which has fueled the world’s largest displacement of people, is pushing millions of already food-insecure people to the brink of famine. A powerful piece from Declan Walsh: nyti.ms/3Rc6Ov2

The vote at the UNSC is a step in the right direction – the bare minimum children in Gaza expect from an institution that has let them down.   We need urgent action to ensure a definitive ceasefire is implemented, humanitarian access is granted, and all hostages are released.

Excited to be at the launch of the first ever International Day of Play #InternationalDayofPlay. With our friends from Sesame Workshop, of course!

Growing up in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is incredibly tough for children. Hunger is widespread and escalating conflict has forced over 7 million people from their homes. Janti Soeripto visited DRC last month and shares more about the situation for kids & families 👇

We all carry a piece of the DRC in our pocket. Sadly, it is also one of the largest displacement crises in the world and very little of its huge resource wealth turns into affordable, good health care and schools for its children. visualcapitalist.com/visualizing-co… via @visualcap

This is news worth celebrating! Sierra Leone has banned child marriage, thanks to a campaign joined by child advocates trained and supported by Save the Children. An amazing achievement for children in Sierra Leone who have campaigned for their rights. bit.ly/4cxsxFW

On Tuesday at 10 am, CSIS Humanitarian Agenda welcomes Janti Soeripto, Janti Soeripto, & Jennifer Link, Mission Director for USAID/Haiti, to discuss challenges & opportunities to provide more aid to Haitians in need, especially women and girls. Register: csis.org/events/escalat…

This was timely discussion as the UN-backed Multinational Security Support mission arrives in Haiti this week. And unless robust child protection measures are in place, children could face new dangers. Watch the conversion here ⬇️

Still waiting for answers on the child care question... Children and their families are facing serious challenges that candidates must address. The 2024 elections are about our future – and children’s priorities are critical to our shared prosperity. #Debates2024

For some, it’s easy to overlook the importance of education in emergencies or to dismiss it as a lesser priority — as "not lifesaving." But at Save the Children US, we disagree. We know that education in emergencies is lifesaving for children. Read why ⬇️ bit.ly/4g01XI1

This long overdue humanitarian pause allows us to support the polio vaccination campaign in #Gaza, more than 1,800 children on day 1 alone. Lifesaving work, which we would like to do much, much more of. Definitive ceasefire now.

Janti Soeripto of Save the Children US gives an update on the polio vaccination drive in Gaza, where Israel's military has agreed to short "pauses" in its attacks. Israel's military assault has devastated the territory's health, water and sewage infrastructure.
