We're absolutely horrified that at least 50 children have reportedly been killed in an Israeli attack on homes in northern Gaza over the weekend.
At least 14,100 children have been killed in Gaza so far. How many children killed is too many before our leaders say 'enough is enough'?
The UK government remains complicit, refusing to suspend all arms sales - despite the clear risk of violations of International humanitarian law.
"If the international community does not intervene soon, an entire generation of children in Gaza will be erased, along with their futures. All states have a legal obligation to prevent the crime of genocide" - Jeremy Stoner, Middle East Regional Director for Save the Children.
We are continuing to urge the UK government to use its power and influence to secure an immediate, definitive ceasefire, and suspend all arms sales to the Government of Israel.
At least 25 children are among those killed or missing in one of the deadliest single attacks in nearly 3 months in Gaza.
Civilians & civilian infrastructure are #NotATarget & are protected under international humanitarian law, stresses @UNHumanRights.

We have joined together with @decappeal to launch an urgent appeal for the Middle East.
Conflict is devastating lives across Gaza, Lebanon and the wider region. People are in urgent need of clean water, food and shelter.

The situation in northern #Gaza is catastrophic. Intensive military operations unfolding around and within healthcare facilities and a critical shortage of medical supplies, compounded by severely limited access, are depriving people of life saving care.
The Health Ministry in Gaza informed us that the siege at Kamal Adwan Hospital has ended, but it came at a heavy cost. Following the detention of 44 male staff members, only female staff, the hospital director, and one male doctor are left to care for nearly 200 patients in desperate need of medical attention. Reports of the hospital facilities and medical supplies being damaged or destroyed during the siege are deplorable.
The whole health system in Gaza has been under attack for over a year. @WHO cannot stress loudly enough that hospitals must be shielded from conflict at all times. Any attack of healthcare facilities is a violation of international humanitarian law.
The only path to safeguarding what remains of Gaza's collapsing health care system is an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. Lives depend on it!
The ongoing war & regional tensions have forced an additional 2.61 million people into poverty in the State of Palestine.
As unemployment soars, more than 74% of Palestine’s population is living in poverty, according to @UNDP & @UNESCWA.

The deaths and suffering of children across the Middle East are shameful.
The daily bloodshed and horror for children are an affront to the most fundamental values of humanity.
The violence against children must end.

Words can't describe the horrors children have been subjected to over the past year.
More than 14,100 of Gaza's children have been killed by Israeli forces, but the actual number is undoubtedly even higher.
More than 20,000 children are estimated to be missing – trapped under rubble, buried in unmarked graves, detained, or separated from their families in the chaos of the war.
Nearly all 1.1 million children in Gaza are facing critical food insecurity.
37 Israeli children were killed during the 7 October attacks by Palestinian armed groups, and 36 Israeli children were taken hostage.
What will it take for our leaders to take decisive action?
We're continuing to urgently call for an immediate, definitive ceasefire to prevent further suffering, ensure safe humanitarian access, and the release of all hostages.

Best of luck everyone! 🍀
#Gaza has become a place unfit for humans. Since the war began, families have lived amid destruction, displacement, hunger, disease & fear.
@UNRWA teams continue to work tirelessly to reach communities, but it is only a drop in an ocean of needs.
This must stop.
#CeasefireNow
Now is the opportunity for Labour in government to launch a new ceasefire initiative bringing other countries together to demand a halt to the Israelis killing more innocent children in Gaza and ending the arms sales that provide the weapons for these war crimes. 1/2
Every single one of them a combination of disgrace & disaster...
And, from the BBC to the Telegraph, every single journalist who facilitated their obvious awfulness or simply failed to call it out remains in post...
All children's lives are equal and each death is a tragedy.
We need a ceasefire NOW.
Sign our petition and tell Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to protect children: https://t.co/2lx7xuL8wR

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.
@hotbaws1 I don’t want to criticise GG because I think he has a lot to offer.
But he does have obvious limitations I think.
Kyogo’s movement suits the way the manager wants us to attack and his goal/minutes ratio is fantastic.
