But for many children, basic water and hygiene facilities remain out of reach,\u201d read another part of the statement.<\/p>\n<p>UNICEF said some children are cut off from safe water because they live in remote areas, or in places where water is untreated or polluted.<\/p>\n<p>Other children lack access to facilities because they are without a home, living in a slum or on the street.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUNICEF calls upon governments to prioritise these children. And we are urgently appealing for funding and support so that we can reach more girls and boys with basic water, sanitation and hygiene facilities,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<p>UNICEF is working with health experts around the clock to provide tips and guidance for families on everything, from how to talk to children about COVID-19, to how to help children wash their hands properly, and advice to teenagers on how to protect their mental health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news\">\n<div class=\"item\">\n<div class=\"item-image-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Tanzania: AS the world works on fighting the Covid 19 pandemic that has claimed lives and livelihood of many, United Nations Children Fund UNICEF) has called on governments and partners to sustain life-saving maternal, newborn and children health services.
