"The Gaza strip right now is completely isolated from the world".

Trócaire is gravely concerned about the current reports and the total loss of communication with Gaza. We are deeply worried for our partners and colleagues. We demand a #CeasefireNOW to protect innocent lives.

[trócaire @trocaire]

1,524 children have been killed in #Gaza.

This is the time to stand with civilians.

This is the time to express solidarity.

This is the time to take action.

Please call on all Irish political parties to speak out to protect civilians.

Today we held a mock protest at St. Stephen's Green to highlight the serious issue of Palm Oil plantations around the world that are contributing to deforestation, violent attacks against human rights defenders and people being forcibly evicted from their land.

Members of the Irish Coalition for Business and Human Rights (ICBHR) are calling on Irish MEPs to take action ahead of a key vote on the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive in the European Parliament this month.

I just called on Ireland to take effective action to end Israel’s assault on Gaza. The time for statements is gone. We need concrete action from the Irish Government now. Please lend your voice to this call. @trocaire https://t.co/lax2Yodyv8

30% of the Somali population require humanitarian assistance but this number could sharply increase with the spread of #Coronavirus.

Ireland has released €125,000 to @trocaire to help prevent the spread of the virus in the Gedo Region of Somalia.

@Ryanair having an issue getting a refund on cancelled Krakow flight. I have sent you a DM. Can you help?

Trócaire today named Caoimhe de Barra as our new CEO. Éamonn Meehan (to retire in October) said “Having worked in development and human rights for over 20 years she is exceptionally well-placed to lead Trócaire into the future."
