This year, World Children’s Day is not a celebration but a dire struggle for survival for millions of children globally, a UNICEF spokesperson reported to Anadolu Agency. James Elder stated that conflicts, climate crises, and systemic neglect devastate young lives.

“For children in Gaza and Lebanon, World Children’s Day revolves around survival,” Elder commented. He pointed out that in Sudan, violence has displaced one million children under five among five million affected. Attacks in Ukraine are escalating, he added.

“World Children’s Day will be profoundly sombre,” Elder mentioned, emphasizing the responsibility of leaders to tackle issues from wars to climate change and mental health crises while condemning widespread impunity.

Established by the UN in 1954, World Children’s Day is celebrated on 20 November to foster global unity and enhance children’s welfare. Yet, this year, the focus is on the acute adversities children face amid global turmoil.

Elder appealed to global leaders to fulfill their commitments to international humanitarian laws and treaties, protect children, and prioritize their needs.

He challenged them to spend 10 minutes on World Children’s Day contemplating their reactions if their children faced such atrocities and to act decisively.

While crises in Gaza, Lebanon, and Sudan capture worldwide attention, UNICEF stresses the broader challenges children face globally. “From poverty in South Africa to child labour in Bangladesh and mental health issues in Sydney, a child’s plight is universal,” Elder declared.

Elder criticized the media and international bodies for losing focus on children’s issues due to ongoing and emerging crises, emphasizing the need for long-term psychological and physical investments to foster a brighter future.
