⁨ 🔴أكثر من مليون طفل في غزة يواجهون الموت والخوف يوميًا.

تقول يونيسف إنه: "لا يوجد مكان آمن لهم… لا مدارس، لا بيوت، لا ملاجئ."

ونحنُ نقول إن أطفالنا يموتون ببطء وبصمت.. من الجوع والقصف والإصابات.. والعالم لا يتحرّك❗️

Forcible displacement and mass destruction in Gaza violate the Geneva Convention and amount to war crimes.
The world must act now to stop the devastation and protect 1.2 million people at risk.

End the war. Save Gaza‼️
