As the number of people killed in Gaza passes 60,000, we have a short window to save as many lives as possible. One in three people in Gaza has not eaten for days, and most who have reportedly died from starvation are children. Learn more at www.plan.ie/campaigns/ga...

We urge #G7 leaders to take bold action and 👇🏾 increase overseas development assistance for girls and place #GirlsRights and leadership at the ❤️ of international development and humanitarian policy.
An entire population is being decimated in front of our eyes. Civilians starved to death, killed while seeking food and shelter. With no access to education, kids are being robbed of their childhood and surviving in "subhuman conditions". This situation is unbearable. #CeasefireNOW
The attack on a joint UN humanitarian convoy near Al Koma, North Darfur on June 2, 2025 is an unacceptable violation of International Humanitarian Law that will have grave consequences for hundreds of thousands of civilians. Read our statement here: plan-international.org/news/2025/06...
It is essential that food and aid supplies resume immediately. Without this children and their families will starve to death.' www.ipcinfo.org/ipcinfo-webs...
The IPC report says a third of people in Gaza are forced to collect garbage to sell for food but that many find no valuable garbage remains. 71,000 children in Gaza are suffering from acute malnutrition – the Israeli aid blockade must end.
Gaza is facing a critical risk of famine – today’s IPC report finds one in five people in Gaza are facing starvation.
Aid has been blocked for over 70 days. 470,000 people are now projected to experience catastrophic food insecurity.
“Port Sudan is burning. We're witnessing one of the most dramatic escalations of violence since the devastating conflict in #Sudan started. The world can't continue to ignore what is happening” - Mohamed Kamal, Country Director for Plan International Sudan plan-international.org/news/2025/05...

Attacks this week on Gaza City hit Jaffa School and the emergency medical post of our humanitarian partner Juzoor. The reports of civilians being killed, including children, are horrifying.
Yesterday's attacks across #Ukraine have targeted and killed civilians, including children, in their homes while they slept.
This is a breach of International Humanitarian Law and
parties should be held accountable. Children must have the chance to live without sirens and bombs.
As aid workers, we have supplies. We have the skills. But we need access.
We join 12 humanitarian agencies in calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. 2/2

Gaza’s aid system is on the brink of collapse.
After 18 months of war and six weeks under total siege, 95% of aid organisations in Gaza have been forced to halt or scale back services. Famine is now a deadly reality. Hospitals are in ruins. Over 51,000 people have been killed. 1/2
Every single person in Gaza is relying on humanitarian aid to survive. That lifeline has been completely cut off since a blockade on all aid supplies was imposed by Israeli authorities on 2 March. Saving lives shouldn't be controversial. Let us do our jobs plan-international.org/news/2025/04...
Hundreds of thousands of people in North Darfur are struggling to survive famine while now also facing extreme violence. There must be an end to the violence and access for humanitarians to provide life-saving support.

Graphic that says "sexual and reproductive health rights are fundamental rights"
Sexual and reproductive rights are fundamental rights. Every person, no matter where they live, deserves access to education, healthcare, and the power to make decisions about their own bodies. Let's work together to ensure these rights are recognized and protected for all.
We continue to call for an immediate and permanent #CeasefireNOW and for safe access to urgently needed humanitarian assistance.

"They destroyed our dreams, they shattered our sleep with bombs and gunpowder, poverty and siege." – Elin, 11, #Gaza
Elin lives in a displacement camp in northern Gaza. In a powerful poem, she calls on world leaders to listen to the voices of children & respond with justice. We need a #CeaseFireNow
Health facilities should never be a target in conflict, there must be accountability for attacks against health facilities. Once again, we call for all parties to respect International Humanitarian Law and for a lasting ceasefire.
Thankfully all staff are safe but the centre, which served over 1,000 patients daily and provided children with lifesaving medical care, is severely damaged. Despite this, Juzoor are looking to continue services and have already begun relocating resources.
We are deeply saddened that a Al Rafi Health Center, run by our partner Juzoor in Jabalia, was destroyed in an airstrike in #Gaza yesterday
No one, regardless of their fame or status, should be above the consequences of their actions. 3/3

Yesterday, as Conor McGregor was hosted at the White House by President Trump, it's impossible to ignore the reality of the situation: a man with a history of violence against women being celebrated by the highest office in the land. 1/3
This sends a dangerous message, particularly to survivors of gender-based violence, that their pain and trauma are not taken seriously.
Gender-based violence is a global epidemic, affecting millions of women every day. We must stand in solidarity with survivors. 2/3
Children in Gaza have already suffered enough. They have lost their families, homes, schools, and communities. Every day is a fight for survival. 2/3

🔴 We demand an immediate ceasefire.
🔴 Civilians and humanitarian aid must be protected.
🔴 International Humanitarian Law must be upheld.
Every child deserves safety, dignity, and peace. 3/3
