As the situation for children in the State of Palestine and Israel continues to deteriorate, UNICEF is calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, immediate and safe release of all abducted children and unrestricted humanitarian access across Gaza.
Canadians continue to call for peace in the Gaza Strip.
The drumbeat for a ceasefire grows by the day.
The Mayor of London, Ontario has added his voice to this wave of peace.
It is time for #Canada to become a global leader in calling for a #ceasefire in #Gaza.
If viciously attacking the weakest, most oppressed group makes our day, then we are complicit of the innocent lives being brutally taken by the most weaponized. #ceasefireInGazaNOW#Humanity#Peace#Shalom#Salaam
At this time when our hearts are heavy and we are struggling to process the feelings of grief, fear, anger or helplessness, MRCSSI and partners are providing various supports and services to help members of our community process the ongoing pain and very real impact of trauma.
~There are natural disasters & there are man-made ones.
Power holders, decision-makers, enablers, are egalitarians & peacekeepers in an ideal world.
We all want to be on the right side of history, ethics, principles, & humanity.
Unfortunately we are cruel as hell.~
Almost every child in the Gaza Strip has been exposed to widespread destruction, relentless attacks, displacement, and severe shortages of essentials such as food, water, and medicine.
UNICEF is calling for an urgent ceasefire, humanitarian access and release of all hostages.
Gaza is now even running out of body bags.
At least 1 million people were forced to flee their homes in one week alone. A river of people continues to flow south.
No place is safe in📍#Gaza.

- Attempts to ban opposition parties and delay elections
- Arrests and threats against journalists and civil society
Pakistan's democratic process, institutions and citizens' human rights must be protected.
