As the number of people killed in Gaza passes 60,000, we have a short window to save as many lives as possible. One in three people in Gaza has not eaten for days, and most who have reportedly died from starvation are children. Learn more at www.plan.ie/campaigns/ga...

An entire population is being decimated in front of our eyes. Civilians starved to death, killed while seeking food and shelter. With no access to education, kids are being robbed of their childhood and surviving in "subhuman conditions". This situation is unbearable. #CeasefireNOW

Attacks this week on Gaza City hit Jaffa School and the emergency medical post of our humanitarian partner Juzoor. The reports of civilians being killed, including children, are horrifying.

Yesterday's attacks across #Ukraine have targeted and killed civilians, including children, in their homes while they slept.

This is a breach of International Humanitarian Law and
parties should be held accountable. Children must have the chance to live without sirens and bombs.

Gaza’s aid system is on the brink of collapse.

After 18 months of war and six weeks under total siege, 95% of aid organisations in Gaza have been forced to halt or scale back services. Famine is now a deadly reality. Hospitals are in ruins. Over 51,000 people have been killed. 1/2

Every single person in Gaza is relying on humanitarian aid to survive. That lifeline has been completely cut off since a blockade on all aid supplies was imposed by Israeli authorities on 2 March. Saving lives shouldn't be controversial. Let us do our jobs plan-international.org/news/2025/04...

Hundreds of thousands of people in North Darfur are struggling to survive famine while now also facing extreme violence. There must be an end to the violence and access for humanitarians to provide life-saving support.

Sexual and reproductive rights are fundamental rights. Every person, no matter where they live, deserves access to education, healthcare, and the power to make decisions about their own bodies. Let's work together to ensure these rights are recognized and protected for all.

Health facilities should never be a target in conflict, there must be accountability for attacks against health facilities. Once again, we call for all parties to respect International Humanitarian Law and for a lasting ceasefire.

Thankfully all staff are safe but the centre, which served over 1,000 patients daily and provided children with lifesaving medical care, is severely damaged. Despite this, Juzoor are looking to continue services and have already begun relocating resources.
