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.

Thousands of children are in urgent need of food, water & shelter in #Kunar Afghanistan as earthquake death toll rises. Our teams are supporting children, but thousands are in urgent need of help. Save the Children colleague, Samira, shares what she is witnessing on the ground.

Rescue teams racing to #Kunar #Afghanistan where devastating earthquake has killed 600 & injured 3,000+ "Children and families were fast asleep in their homes – homes that are not built to withstand tremors of this magnitude." @SSamiraSR

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⚠️

In #Gaza, 43% of pregnant or breastfeeding women seeking treatment at our clinics were malnourished. Those unable to breastfeed are giving their babies bottles of water or water mixed with ground chickpeas or tahini. These are realities no mother should ever have to face.

This #WorldBreastfeedingWeek, we’re reminding the world that breastfeeding saves lives. In #Haiti, where violence disrupts access to food & services, breastfeeding is vital to keep babies nourished. We support mums like Guivencia in our Mother & Baby Clubs🍼💪

Children in #Gaza are now wishing to die. They're wishing for food, water & to be in heaven. They're wishing for things no child should EVER have to wish for. The world must act now or this completely preventable & manmade disaster will claim the lives of more & more children💔

The worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out in #Gaza. Over 70,000 children under 5 & 17,000 pregnant & breastfeeding women are facing acute malnutrition. Families are being starved by design. Rachael Cummings shares the reality from our Gaza clinics👇

The number of children under-five with acute malnutrition seen at Save the Children’s #Gaza clinics surged 10-fold in four months. This is starvation of children by design. END THE SIEGE, OPEN ALL LAND CROSSINGS AND LET AID IN NOW.

The lives of all 2 million people in #Gaza are being threated by the ongoing violence & blockade. And no, the recent airdrops will not end this horror, they're just a deadly distraction. The only way to save lives is by opening all land crossings, & letting aid in.

Israel’s “tactical pause” may help children in #Gaza, but a day or two of food is not enough.⚠️133 people, 87 of them children, have already died of malnutrition and starvation. We need a ceasefire and safe, sustained aid. Our supplies are ready. Let us do our jobs #CeasefireNow

The so-called “evacuation orders” in Deir al-Balah, #Gaza are disrupting our work, displacing our staff, & putting the lives of children at even greater risk. Despite constant danger & growing restrictions, our teams are doing everything they can to reach children and families❤️

As the Israeli government’s siege starves the people of #Gaza, humanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues & partners waste away before their eyes. It is time for governments to take decisive action. Read the full joint statement👉 https://t.co/y5xINC9zI5

Since fighting started on 11 July in Sweida, #Syria, over 93,000 people have fled their homes🚨 And those left are trapped without medical care, clean water or enough food⚠️ We're calling on all sides to honour the ceasefire, protect children & allow emergency teams & aid in.
