Children are amongst the most vulnerable due to the devastating floods in #Pakistan.

While @UNICEF_Pakistan teams work hard to deliver lifesaving supplies to families impacted by the flood, they are also ensuring that children do not miss out on their #polio vaccinations. https://t.co/XeLjZhTxNM

One-third of #Pakistan is under water but there isn’t enough safe drinking water.

Heroes like Anmool are on the ground, showing families how to use water purification tablets and hygiene kits supplied by @UNICEF_Pakistan, that will help keep them safe from diseases. pic.twitter.com/T5SG1MDn7D
