UNICEF krefst þess að stríðandi fylkingar grípi alls ekki til árása á mikilvæga innviði sem börn og saklausir borgarar reiða sig á.

UNICEF calls for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and demands that international commitments be made to protect children and ensure humanitarian institutions safe access to children in need. UNICEF demands that warring factions do not at all attack important infrastructure on which children and innocent citizens rely. Whether it is water utilities, healthcare facilities or schools. Let us show the people of Ukraine that they are not alone. UNICEF in Iceland has launched an emergency fundraiser for UNICEF’s extensive work in the United Nations, in which children and families need immediate assistance. Armed conflict now threatens the lives and well-being of millions of children. UNICEF has been active in years of war in the eastern part of Ukraine, providing clean water, health care, schooling, education, social psychological services and financial assistance.

Russians and Ukrainians living in Iceland, as well as representatives of other countries, will speak at the rally. They will share their ideas on how to help Ukraine, their experiences and the latest news from the war.
