Tess Ingram, Gaza-based Communications Manager for UNICEF, discusses the increasingly desperate humanitarian situation there.

Machafuko yanayoendelea Kaskazini Mashariki mwa Burkina Faso yamefurusha maelfu ya watu, kukatili maisha na kuwalazimisha wengi kuwa wakimbizi ndani ya nchi yao. Miongoni mwa simulizi za kugusa ni ya Fadima Bandé mama aliyelazimika kufungasha virago kunusuru maisha yake na wanawe wawili lakini akaishia kupoteza mmoja, je ilikuwaje?  kupitia video ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF Flora Nducha anasimulia zaidi.Katika kambi ya wakimbizi wa ndani ya Dori Mashariki mwa Burkina Faso, sasa ni maskani ya Fadima, maisha hapa ni magumu na hana tena njia ya kujipatia kipato. Kila uchao analazimika kupambana kuhakikisha watoto wake wanapata angalau mahitaji ya msingi, anakumbuka safari ya uchugu kutoka Kijiji kwake Sohlan hadi hapaWakati tunakimbia mmoja wa binti zangu mapacha aliugua baada ya kunyeshewa na mvua kubwa na kupata mafua makali, wakati tayari alikuwa anaumwa utapiamlo. Tulimkimbiza hospitai mjini Sebba lakini akafariki dunia.”Baada ya kupata hifadhi kambini Dori Fadima akajaliwa mapacha wengine wawili ambao sasa wana umri wa miezi tisa na kwa bahati mbaya wote wana utapiamlo kutokana na changamoto ya chakula.“Hapa Dori tumebarikiwa watoto mapacha lakini wametukuta hatua makazi, hatuna chochote na tuna njaa na kibaya zaidi sikuwa hata na maziwa ya kutosha kuwanyonyesha”Watoto wa Fadima wamekuwa wakiishi kwa msaada wa kibinadamu unaotolewa na mashirika mbalimbali ikiwemo UNICEF ambayo sasa inasema hali yao inaweza kuwa mbaya zaidi kutokana na kupunguzwa kwa bajeti ya kimataifa misaada wanayoitoa na hivyo kuhatarisha maisha na mustakabali wa watoto wake. Fadima anasema“Unapotawanywa na machafuko huwezi kufanya kazi, unakuwa kama mtu asiye na ajira na hapo ndio madhila yanapokuwa makubwa zaidi, lakini bado hapa ni bora kuliko ningesalia kijijini kwetu.”Kwa mujibu wa UNICEF Burkina Faso ni moja ya migogoro ya kibinadamu iliyopuuzwa zaidi duniani. Ingawa UNICEF iko hapa kusaidia, lakini  inasema msaada zaidi unahitajika haraka.

Humanitarian groups say the number of people in Gaza trapped in famine will escalate if there isn't an immediate ceasefire. UNICEF spokesperson Tess Ingram spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

A day after a famine is confirmed in Gaza City, a spokesperson for the UN children's agency Unicef lls us she's afraid hunger will spread. We ask the Norwegian government what other countries can do to put pressure on Israel to let in aid.Also in the programme: Jeffrey Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell tells the authorities she never saw President Trump in any compromising situations, and there is no ‘list'; but how credible is a convicted criminal seeking release? And we discuss whether novels really benefit from “sensitivity readers”.(Image: Palestinian doctor Ahmed Basal examines a child for malnutrition at Al-Rantisi Hospital in Gaza City, 7 August, 2025.

To conclude my series on the Israel-Palestine conflict, I look at Jewish presence in the Levant going all the way back to the Iron Age, the events leading to the founding of the modern State of Israel, its unique economic and military relationship with the US, and its long asymmetrical conflict with Palestinians. Please consider donating to help bring an end to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. It can be confusing and complex to navigate the many charities that claim to offer direct aid in Gaza. Some recommend giving directly to family fundraisers, but investigative reports suggest some GoFundMe donations never reach the citizens they're intended to help. As for charity organizations, some smaller ones have proven to be fronts, and even some major organizations accept donations for Gaza despite not providing direct aid on the ground there. There are even calls by other charities for the Israel and US backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to be shut down because of the numerous massacres occurring at its distribution sites. Among the more trustworthy charities actually working on bringing aid to Palestinians are UNICEF, Oxfam International, Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, and Palestinian Children's Relief Fund.

“Impact can be measured purely in dollars, or it can be measured in impact, which is the effect that our programs have had on changing the lives of children.” -Shelley Diamond   Shelley Diamond is a passionate builder of global brands and businesses, with expertise across a wide range of communications disciplines. As one of the highest-ranking female executives in advertising, she has championed marketing transformation for both domestic and global clients in the consumer and B2B spaces. In this interview, Shelley emphasizes that marketing should be viewed as an investment—integral to achieving real impact through advocacy and program success—not simply as an expense on the balance sheet. She shares how UNICEF approaches innovation through program effectiveness, leveraging technology, partnerships, and bold action to further children's rights, education, and well-being. This includes adapting to modern challenges such as combating misinformation and navigating difficult terrains for vaccine delivery. Shelley explains how UNICEF integrates brand and performance marketing, using data-driven insights to identify and target audiences most likely to engage with and support their mission. By expanding their reach and tailoring their approach to different audience interests, UNICEF remains relevant and impactful in a crowded nonprofit space—while balancing the sector's focus on expense versus program ratio.

Hace casi dos semanas, 13 niños gazatíes enfermos acompañados de sus familiares llegaron a Zaragoza en un avión medicalizado desde Jordania para ser tratados en distintos centros hospitalarios de Cataluña, País Vasco, Navarra y Asturias.  Son niños que vienen con quemaduras,  traumatismos, o con problemas oncológicos, y cardiológicos. Saludamos a Javier Ayala, especialista en cardiología pediátrica del Hospital Universitario de Cruces. UNICEF creó en 2019 el Grupo Asesor de Infancia y Adolescencia de UNICEF España. En 2024, casi 25.000 niños, niñas y adolescentes formaron parte de 444 espacios de participación, en los que reflexionan, debaten y hacen propuestas. Estos espacios los promueve UNICEF en los municipios junto a los propios ayuntamientos. Hoy tenemos con nosotros a Roberto Pablo Arribas, joven implicado en grupos de participación. El 12 de agosto de 2026 es una fecha que no solo los astrónomos han fijado en su calendario. El norte del país vivirá ese día un eclipse total, el “acontecimiento astronómico del siglo” para muchos. España no ha vivido un fenómeno similar desde 1905 siendo el siguiente en 2182. Tenemos con nosotros a Agustín Collazos, presidente de HOSPECO, Asociación Empresarial de Hospedaje de A Coruña. Pilar de Francisco vuelve con su sección Poco nos Pasa para hablar de la nueva moda: el perfomative reading. Consiste en consumir los clásicos de la literatura como un accesorio en vez de como lectura.

Danny was also a humanitarian, serving as the first goodwill ambassador for the United Nations' children's charity UNICEF.

Salim Oweis, Spokesperson for Unicef in Amman, Jordan, discusses the distribution of aid in to Gaza.

In this episode of "What Makes You Tick," host Stephen speaks with Dr. Victoria Rose, a UK-based consultant plastic surgeon, about her extensive humanitarian work in Gaza during the ongoing Israel-Gaza war. The conversation opens with Dr. Rose's personal journey into medicine and plastic surgery, but quickly turns to her frontline experiences in Gaza, where she has completed three "tours" since 2018, working primarily with trauma victims – the majority of whom are children – in the besieged territory. Dr. Rose provides firsthand, harrowing accounts of the catastrophic impact of Israeli military operations on Gaza's civilian population. She describes the escalating numbers of wounded and killed, the relentless airstrikes, and the devastation wrought upon hospitals and essential infrastructure. The situation, as Dr. Rose recounts, is a direct result of the actions and policies of Israel under Benjamin Netanyahu's government. She underscores that this government is solely responsible for the ongoing humanitarian crisis and the scale of civilian suffering in Gaza, which she frankly describes as genocide. She details the work of her team in conjunction with IDEALS, a medical charity, and shares powerful stories of the local population's resilience and unimaginable hardship—highlighting how Gaza, before the war, was a place full of culture, education, and strong community bonds, now reduced to ruins where survival is the daily struggle. Dr. Rose discusses the profound psychological and physical toll on children, illustrating this with stories of child patients who have suffered life-changing injuries or lost family members in the bombardment. A significant part of the conversation focuses on the catastrophic failure of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the body currently tasked with delivering aid. Dr. Rose describes the GHF's approach as disgraceful, militarized, and deadly, with their flawed system resulting in additional deaths—including shootings at aid distribution points—and inadequate food provision (often just bags of rice and pasta, far from meeting the actual needs of the population). She states unequivocally that the GHF must be removed and replaced by legitimate, experienced humanitarian actors such as UNICEF, UNRWA, the World Food Programme, and other established aid organizations that are capable of providing comprehensive relief, including food, healthcare, water, sanitation, and protection for the most vulnerable. Dr. Rose also addresses the misinformation and propaganda in Western media, calling out news organizations like the BBC for adopting narratives that label Palestinian healthcare workers as members of Hamas—assertions she firmly refutes based on her on-the-ground experience. She emphasizes that her colleagues in Gaza are doctors and nurses dedicated solely to saving lives amid impossible conditions. In her message to world leaders and the international community, Dr. Rose urges for immediate, tangible action: a ceasefire leading to a two-state solution, and the restoration of proper humanitarian agencies in Gaza. She insists that real change requires both political will and a return to basic human decency—her most striking takeaway being, "We just have to be nice to each other." This episode offers a raw, urgent, and deeply informed perspective on the devastation in Gaza, directly holding Israel and its current leadership responsible for the humanitarian disaster, and calls for an overhaul of current aid mechanisms to prevent further needless suffering.

Die Verenigde Nasies se Kinderfonds, Unicef, sê humanitêre toestande in Gaza bly ʼn katastrofe, met kinders wat honger ly, oorwerkte hulpwerkers en skaars brandstof- en watervoorraad. 'n Half-miljoen mense, byna ʼn kwart van die bevolking, beleef toestande soortgelyk aan hongersnood terwyl die res ook swaarkry. Die Israelse Weermag het glo sedert laat in Mei meer as 'n duisend Palestyne doodgeskiet toe hulle wou toegang kry tot kos. Unicef se woordvoerder, Ricardo Pires, sê dis ʼn perfekte storm van lyding vir kinders:

This week on If/Then, we're sharing an episode of The Future of Everything, a podcast hosted by Stanford School of Engineering professor and friend of the show Russ Altman.Everyone has goals — some are monumental, others modest — but every goal matters. Szu-chi Huang, an associate professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is an expert on sustaining enthusiasm for individuals, customers, and employees across global corporations and organizations.On this episode, Huang shares what it takes to stay motivated over time — not just at the beginning of a goal, when energy runs high, or at the end, when the finish line is in sight, but through the toughest part: the middle. She explains why motivation is a dynamic process that requires different tools at different stages, and offers practical advice drawn from her research on everything from retirement savings and loyalty programs to children's health and social apps. Along the way, she and Altman explore how purpose, progress, and even a little social pressure can help us keep going — and how AI might someday coach us through.More Resources: Szu-chi Huang, faculty profile & If/Then episode Russ Altman, faculty profile The Future of EverythingIf/Then is a podcast from Stanford Graduate School of Business that examines research findings that can help us navigate the complex issues we face in business, leadership, and society.Chapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionRuss Altman introduces Szu-Chi Huang, professor of marketing at Stanford GSB.(00:03:31) Studying MotivationSzu-chi shares what led her to study motivational science(00:04:03) Defining MotivationMotivation as the drive to close the gap between current and ideal self.(00:04:57) The Science of MotivationStudying motivation through behavioral and neurological data.(00:05:48) Why It Matters in BusinessHow motivation science applies to leaders, teams, and customers.(00:06:39) Motivation FrameworkThe strategies needed in order to stay motivated over time.(00:07:42) The Mindset of MotivationThe different mindsets needed throughout the stages of motivation.(00:09:21) Motivating Kids to Choose HealthyA Collaboration with UNICEF to study what motivates children.(00:10:55) Gamified Coupons in PanamaA study using gamified coupons to influence children's food choices.(00:14:26) Loyalty Programs as MotivationHow customer reward programs act as structured goal journeys.(00:16:47) Progress Versus PurposeThe different incentives needed in each stage of loyalty programs.(00:18:29) Retirement Saving LessonsHow financial institutions apply motivational science to long-term goals.(00:21:12) Motivation in Social ContextThe role of social connections in goal pursuit and sustaining motivation.(00:26:10) Designing Apps for MotivationHow redesigning user interfaces can help users stay motivated.(00:27:20) AI as a Motivation CoachUsing AI to personalize feedback across all stages of goal pursuit.(00:30:09) Starting and Sustaining a GoalPractical strategies for launching and sustaining a goal.(00:31:57) ConclusionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We were discussing the role of degrees in job seeking and hiring this week and we had a question from one person who said he was struggling to get interviews despite 30 years of experience. So we ask: What are the rules around ageism here in the UAE when it comes to getting a job? Lawyer Thenji Moyo joins Jennifer to shed light on this Researchers say we live in an age where loneliness is affecting people of all ages, genders and nationalities and it's a particular issue here in the UAE, where working days are long and relationships can feel transient. And now, it seems, this lack of close relationships is being worsened by a rise in ghosting - when a friend leaves your life with no warning and no explanation. So, why is ghosting on the rise and what does it mean for how we form friendships? We find out from Clinical Psychologist Dr Asha Dullabh. And a new UNICEF‐led UN study has found that nearly 60% of young people have experienced secondary trauma from consuming media content featuring graphic images of conflict online. Dr. Aseel Takshe, Acting Dean of the School of Health Sciences and Psychology at Canadian University Dubai tells us what it means about our online environment and what parents and young adults need to know.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What exactly is going on inside the Gaza strip? Amid growing reports of children starving to death and fears of full-blown famine, the international community appears to be becoming more critical of Israel. Roland Oliphant hears from a UNICEF staffer with recent on the ground experience in Gaza about why mass starvation is setting in - but is still avoidable. Tess Ingram shares the latest from the area and how it is now nothing short of a ‘hellscape'.Plus, in a dramatic escalation of tensions, Thailand bombed its neighbour Cambodia on Thursday with F16 fighter jets. But how did it come to this and why now?Roland speaks to the Telegraph's Bangkok-based correspondent Sarah Newey to get the latest from the region.Exclusive footage showing acute malnutrition in Gaza: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/terror-and-security/gaza-starvation-child-malnutrition-israel-hamas-war/https://linktr.ee/BattleLinesContact us with feedback or ideas:battlelines@telegraph.co.uk @venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

In the midst of the television coverage of Soccer Aid, a celebrity soccer match organised by Unicef, the audience was told that “one in six children around the world are currently living through war”. Listener Isla got in touch with More or Less to ask whether the claim was correct, so we tracked down the source to an organisation called the Peace Research Institute Oslo.Research director Siri Aas Rustad tells us how they worked out a figure for the number of children living near to a “conflict” and the big differences between that and something most people would think of as “war”.If you've seen a number you think we should look at, email the team on moreorless@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Lizzy McNeill Producer: Nicholas Barrett Series producer: Tom Colls Production co-ordinator: Brenda Brown Sound mix: Giles Aspen Editor: Richard Vadon
