UNICEF is horrified by an attack on a camp for displaced people in the early hours of 12 June 2023 in Ituri Province in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
UNICEF says it is deeply shocked and horrified by reports that at least 22 children were among 27 people killed in an explosion in the Lower Shabelle region of Somalia.
