Horrific. Children were reportedly killed and injured today by an explosion at a Madrasa in Afghanistan’s Samangan Province. Education settings MUST be protected. We urge all parties to do everything they can to keep children safe at all times.

Children living in #AlHol camp face violence and deprivation on a daily basis.  Now two girls have been found brutally murdered.    Camps like these are no place for children. The world must do more to accelerate the safe repatriation of these children.

Terrible and unacceptable news. Two children were killed in Al Hol camp yesterday. The situation for children in the camp remains dangerous, it's not a place for children to grow up. @UNICEF continues to call for protecting and repatriating children urgently. #EveryDayCounts
