Israel's siege is starving the people of Gaza. We have joined more than 100 aid and rights groups to demand action - before there is no one left to save. Read the full statement here: bit.ly/3GPCpAE

12 children have reportedly died of malnutrition and starvation across Gaza in the last two days, due to Israel's denial of aid. These deaths were preventable. There are no words to describe our outrage and despair. These children had hopes and dreams for the future. They are…

.@DavidLammy: Palestinian children need action, not words. When will the UK Government take further action and hold Israel accountable? Last night, the Foreign Secretary announced more humanitarian assistance to Gaza - but by continuing to license arms transfers, the UK is…

More than 100 Palestinians are reported to have been killed yesterday while trying to collect food. Save the Children's Rachel Cummings tells #BBCWato the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has a 'dangerous approach' to providing food assistance with no 'dignity'.

Six children were killed in an Israeli air strike while waiting for water yesterday, according to BBC News. Last week, eight children were reportedly killed while queuing for nutritional supplements outside of a clinic. These children have names, they had hopes and dreams for…

We're outraged and heartbroken by reports that at least 15 Palestinians, including eight children, have been killed in an Israeli strike. They were queuing for nutritional supplements outside of a clinic. Nowhere is safe in Gaza. Project Hope, an aid group who ran the clinic,…

Keir Starmer, what are you waiting for? Almost 40,000 MORE children are missing out on the support they need because of the 2-child limit than there were last year. The UK Government must urgently scrap the two-child limit.

This message is for Keir Starmer. Almost 1.7 million children are missing out on the support they need because of the 2-child limit. We urge the UK Govt to scrap the 2-child limit, to prevent children being denied the childhood they deserve. Write to your MP:…
