UNICEF warns that war poses a risk to global humanitarian aid supply chains.

Over 340 children have died and thousands more have been injured since the military escalation in the Middle East began, according to UNICEF. The conflict has displaced over 1.2 million children, intensifying a humanitarian crisis and straining aid delivery systems globally. Disruptions in procurement and transport could delay critical supplies by up to six months. Rising oil prices are further complicating logistics, leading to extended shipping times. UNICEF is adjusting its supply chain to ensure timely delivery of humanitarian aid while calling for an immediate ceasefire to protect civilians.
