UNICEF: 'Children are facing cascading crises around the world'

Description

The world's children are facing stark global challenges like never before: From the two-year Covid pandemic to climate change, to on-going global conflict, including war in Europe, as well as a worldwide cost-of-living crisis, a global food crisis, and a barrage of natural disasters spanning the globe. For more analysis on the plight of our children, FRANCE 24 is joined by Catherine Russell, UNICEF Executive Director. She says that "children are facing a huge crisis, what we like to think of as cascading crises around the world."
