No child should be separated from their family through war. 💔

Despite the significant challenges, we're still working in northern #Gaza through a local partner. They're running activities with children across 13 shelters and raising awareness about protecting unaccompanied and separated children.

“Adding the word humanitarian to something doesn’t make it humanitarian. These islands are lacking a huge amount in practical detail”

Alison Griffin at Save the Children discusses the Israeli Government’s plans to create humanitarian islands for civilians in Gaza

We are appalled by the shelling of an @MSF shelter in Khan Younis #Gaza, where 100 staff and families were sheltering.

Four people have been injured, one a girl aged 5.

Aid workers are #NotATarget.

The only way to stop this is a definitive #CeasefireNOW.

More than 10 children per day, on average, have lost one or both of their legs in Gaza since conflict erupted three months ago - @Save_GlobalNews

Lifetimes of pain management and medical care will be needed

Tonight, @RishiSunak and his Government chose to turn their backs on the children of #Gaza yet again. By failing to vote for a #CeasefireNOW at the UN Security Council, the UK is complicit in the horror that children will endure in the coming hours, days, and weeks.

Last voicenote from a colleague before #Gaza went dark:

"I’m trying to reach out to people, but there is no connection at all… We could all die, we could survive, we could survive, we could…. pray for us.”

[Claire Nicoll @clairenicoll]

Thinking of friends & colleagues in #Gaza - in the dark, under bombardment, cut off from the world. Can't even begin to fathom how terrifying tonight will be.

A ceasefire shouldn't be political. Families in Gaza need one to survive to see next week. This is not an exaggeration.

SIGN OUR PETITION FOR THE CHILDREN OF GAZA AND ISRAEL: https://t.co/jS2nYmmnog

The UK Government must call for:

🚨 An urgent ceasefire
‼️ The protection of all children affected
⚖️ International humanitarian law to be respected
👨‍👩‍👧 All children captured released immediately and unconditionally
⛑️ Humanitarian assistance to be scaled up

#StopTheWarOnChildren #Israel #Gaza

[SavetheChildren News @SaveUKNews]

We're appalled by attacks on a school and a hospital in Gaza today, reportedly killing several hundred civilians. A ceasefire must be agreed to save children's lives.

This war is eroding humanity and spiralling out of control. Full statement ⬇️ https://t.co/qvnmqbM5ab

Message from a colleague in #Gaza this morning:

'I hold on to whatever courage I can but I don't know whether this message will be my last. My dream is a simple one – to wake up in the morning with my children in my arms, alive and well. Let us pray for better days ahead.'

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Today I can share I'm challenging the PM on the legality of abandoning key Net Zero commitments

I believe the timeline for the UK to meet Net Zero cannot be changed at will by the PM – I contend that he does not have the legal right

The ball is in your court , Prime Minister

@British_Airways our flight to catania has just been cancelled. 😢 will there be any alternative flights tomorrow?

[Helen Lye @Hlye13]

@kselvaofficial @Fly_Norwegian Are the fires bad? We can't get any information on them and supposed yo be flying to Catania on Tuesday with our 1 year old son

[Helen Lye @Hlye13]

@bingham_fiona We are meant to be flying to catania from London on Tuesday with our 2 year old son. There is such limited information on the fires and issues at the airport. Can I ask you what you think, is it safe to fly?

[Helen Lye @Hlye13]

@thetrainline I accidentally booked a ticket in the wrong direction 10 mins before it was due to arrive. I've only been offered a partial refund but the guard said I should be entitled to a full refund as I changed it before it arrived. Please help?

I’m so in awe of these protestors - extraordinary courage and a reminder that there is an opposition to militarism, extreme nationalism, and autocracy

@LidlGB I purchased a paddle board from you a few months ago. Sadly there is leak between the valve casing and the skin of the board, causing it to slowly deflate :(. Is it possible to exchange ?

[Helen Lye @Hlye13]

@Jeremy_Hunt as one of your local constituents I've been delighted to see your support and commitment to the 0.7% aid budget. I hope you go on to vote against the governments motion today. This life saving commitment is needed more than ever!
