While the pause in hostilities in Gaza is a crucial respite for children, it is not enough. As we continue to push for a definitive ceasefire, improved humanitarian access, & better protections for children, we're doing everything we can to provide essential support to families.

Bolivia has become the 14th country in Latin America to ban child marriage.🎉 Our work doesn’t end here. Government officials, civil society, communities, & families must now work together to make it a lived reality for every child & tackle causes of child & early marriages.

"What we're witnessing in Gaza is not only an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe but what the UN Commission of Inquiry has now concluded is a genocide. This moment demands decisive action.” Statement of 20+ CEOs of aid agencies in Gaza. Spox available

What we are witnessing on the ground is consistent with UN findings that a genocide is being committed in Gaza. This moment demands decisive action. The Government of Israel must be compelled to stop atrocity crimes. Symbolic gestures & half-measures do not protect children.

20,000 children in Gaza have been killed in the last 23 months. That's one child in Gaza killed every hour. If the international community does not step up, an entire generation of children in Gaza will be lost. We need a definitive ceasefire and immediate access to deliver aid.

STATEMENT: Inger Ashing, @SaveCEO_Intl at the #UNSecurityCouncil #UNSC today: "As we speak children in Gaza are systematically being starved to death. This is a deliberate policy. This is starvation as a method of war in its starkest terms." https://t.co/qca7l8ozDe

An average of one aid worker has been killed, injured, kidnapped or detained every day since 2000. 2024 was the deadliest year on record to be an aid worker. 2025 is on track to be even worse🚨 The law is clear: humanitarians must be protected. Leaders must #ActForHumanity

To those with power and influence. Last year, we called on you to act: 🔴Respect the rules of war. 🔴Protect humanitarians and civilians. 🔴End impunity. Nothing changed. How much more suffering will you ignore? On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we urge you to #ActForHumanity – now.

Every day without food can have an effect on a child’s body. Our staff in #Gaza said children are going for as long as two days with no food. Malnutrition in a child can be stopped, & they can recover from it. We know how to treat it, but we need more aid to enter Gaza now⚠️
