Isabel Gomes highlights how children are paying the highest price for a shrinking aid system. She also sheds light on how cuts to humanitarian funding are forcing impossible choices—who eats, who learns, who survives. Signaling about a system under strain, where children risk being pushed to the margins, she urges that governments, decision-makers, and donors should ensure solidarity triumphs over indifference.

FY25 was a year of hard choices and courageous leadership. In the face of escalating global crises, we responded to 108 emergencies, reaching nearly 36 million people—including over 18 million children—with life-saving food, cash, health care, education, and protection. Determined to do more with less, we reimagined humanitarian operations, driving cost-efficiency and resilience while embracing digital transformation. Artificial intelligence and automation helped reinvest savings into communities, even as funding tightened. We strengthened the sector through training and surge capacity, deepened partnerships to champion child-focused humanitarian action, and pushed for a Humanitarian Reset—an aid system that is decentralised, inclusive, and accountable. In the world’s most fragile contexts, we proved that children can thrive when compassion meets purpose. FY25 wasn’t just about responding to crises—it was about shaping the future of humanitarian action.

On this World Children’s Day, we urge governments, regional bodies, civil society, private sector, and communities to join us in fortifying the mission on turning commitments into action.
