Every single child deserves a warm, safe home. Yet in Gaza, after two years of Israeli bombardment, siege and aid restrictions – and now as tents flood from torrential rain – children are sleeping on the bare ground with no shelter, in flimsy shorts and t-shirts that are sodden

A significant step towards finally seeing this huge fund released to support victims of the war in Ukraine, after successive Governments have blocked its release for over 3 years. It must be unlocked now. The victims of the war can't wait any longer.

UK-funded tents have now entered Gaza to provide urgent shelter for families affected by the conflict. As weather conditions worsen, shelter for 12,000 is a lifeline. The situation remains dire, Israel must allow much more aid in & open all the routes & crossings immediately.

🚨 NEW: 45% of UK adults agree that scrapping the two-child limit is the most effective way to tackle child poverty. When the public get more info about the two-child limit, they are in favour of it being scrapped, which is the action the UK Govt correctly took at the Budget.
