It is the culmination of campaigning by two countries - the Democratic Republic of Congo and  Congo-Brazzaville.

من قلب الإبادة الأكتر وحشية في تاريخنا، مهدي كريرة، تمسك بهوايته ومهنته في صنع الدمى وتحريكها، قديش كانت الظروف صعبة وقاسية وما حد قادر لسا يتخيلها، مهدي قرر يلم "مخلفات الإبادة" زي ما سماها، ويصنع منها دمى بيتعامل معها كأنهم ولاده، بيعطيهم من روحه وأحساسه، رغم كل إشي، عشان يشوف ضحكة على وجه الكبير والصغير، ترك مسرحه وألعابه قبل النزوح، بس ما وقف عاجز، ومن بقايا كل إشي قدر يصنع مسرح جديد ودمى جديدة، ويعطيها من روحه عشان تتحرك.

Artists try to bring joy to children amid ongoing suffering

Northern Gaza's humanitarian disaster is growing by the day. It's been under siege for more than a month by Tel Aviv's army. It's pushing all civilians into the south. Meanwhile, the latest UN report on Gaza says around 70 percent of the people killed since the start of the war in Gaza have been women and children, as Israeli forces target civilian areas to force people to flee. The UN also says Israel's disregard for the rules of war has multiplied human suffering in Gaza to unprecedented
level

One in every five children in Gaza suffers from malnutrition

Children in Gaza continue to face unimaginable trauma, dealing with death and destruction on a daily basis, and surrounded by violence and loss. And as Yusuf Sosar reports, they bear scars that are both visible and hidden

Conflict inflicts deep trauma on Gazan children

In the week the new academic year was supposed to start in Gaza, children have no schools to go to. Most are damaged or destroyed. And while pupils can't pursue their studies, many children are instead doing what they can to help their families, and that includes manual labour.
