Thai Child Representative Ming Calls on Global Leaders to Keep Their Promise to End Violence Against Children

The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) update for South Sudan reveals a critical situation: over half of the country’s population is projected to experience crisis or worse levels of hunger (IPC Phase 3 and above) between April and July 2026. The report warns of a potential deterioration towards famine in areas affected by ongoing conflict and instability.

How integrated investments across health, nutrition, education, protection, and social protection can help every child thrive amid global crises.

We cannot solve the climate crisis without confronting hunger. The connection is no longer theoretical. It’s visceral, visible, and, for millions of children, devastatingly personal.

An uncomfortable truth: without placing children at the heart of resilience strategies, we are merely managing decline rather than building the future.
