It is an unspeakable tragedy that innocent children continue to be killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, with another 20 children becoming the latest victims of this conflict.
A school being used as a shelter in central Gaza was shelled, killing at least 22 people, including 15 children.
In a separate incident, five children were reportedly killed by a drone strike while playing on a street corner in northern Gaza.
We simply cannot accept the violence that Palestinian children continue to face as normal.
We are continuing to urge the UK government to use their power and influence to secure an immediate, definitive ceasefire, and suspend all arms sales to the Government of Israel.

Nowhere is safe for families in Gaza.

We're appalled by more reports that Israeli airstrikes have killed children in Gaza this week, including strikes on hospitals and displacement camps.
Every day, more children are killed as Israel intensifies its lethal assault on Gaza.
The UK Government has enabled these attacks by continuing to approve the supply of arms transfers to the Government of Israel and granting Israel with the impunity to continue committing atrocities in Gaza.
How many more devastating headlines do the public have to read before our government takes action?
The UK must act now to end its complicity, including by suspending all arms transfers to the Government of Israel and holding all perpetrators of violations accountable.
The UK must not be an ally to Israel's atrocities.

We refuse to allow their suffering to become normalised.

Famine has been confirmed in Gaza, with over half a million facing starvation, destitution and death.
We have been warning about this impending tragedy for months. The UK can't say they didn't know this would happen.
All available evidence indicates that the Government of Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war.
This siege must end, and the full flow of aid restored.
The UK Government cannot stand by while children in Gaza are starved in plain sight.
No child should face this horror. The UK must uphold international law: hold Israel accountable and suspend all arms sales, including F-35 components.

We agree that Israel's blocking of humanitarian aid into Gaza is unacceptable.
But more words without action do nothing to bring an end to Israel's siege of Gaza.
The UK must urgently suspend all arms transfers to Israel and take meaningful action to hold perpetrators accountable and end Israel's impunity.

For over 50 days, Israel has fully blocked humanitarian aid to Gaza. This is completely unacceptable.

At least 14,100 children have been killed in Gaza so far. How many children killed is too many before our leaders say 'enough is enough'?
The UK government remains complicit, refusing to suspend all arms sales - despite the clear risk of violations of International humanitarian law.

We agree these deplorable attacks by Israel must end.
However, words without action do nothing to bring an end to Israel's atrocities.
The UK Government must:
🔴 Suspend all arms transfers to Israel
🔴 Hold all perpetrators accountable and end Israel’s impunity
🔴 Take all possible steps to bring an end to Israel’s occupation
Israel’s attacks on medical facilities have comprehensively degraded access to healthcare in Gaza.
Al-Ahli Hospital has been attacked repeatedly since the conflict began.

All of us at Save the Children are devastated by the killing of brothers Khaled, 11, and Aseed, 8, who we’ve been supporting through one of our child-friendly spaces in Gaza.
Khaled and Aseed were known for their positive energy, for joining in and getting involved, and for the way they made friends and played with others, even amid their relentless surroundings of bombardment and violence, displacement, hunger and disease.
In July, an Israeli airstrike hit the tent they were calling home, killing everyone else in their immediate family and severely injuring Khaled and Aseed.
In August, Khaled’s health condition from his injuries deteriorated and he died. Just 48 hours later, Aseed’s health also worsened, and he too passed away in a health system that has been shattered by bombs and throttled by siege.
Nothing can bring these boys back. As with more than 20,000 other children killed in the last two years, their lives were cut short before they could see an end to the violence, or accountability for these crimes.
Every single child – every life taken and every life still hanging in the balance – is a reminder of the world’s collective failure. The cost of inaction is children’s lives. How many more will have to pay it?

This is a deeply shameful statistic for our collective humanity – a horrific new low.

Their parents, caregivers and families themselves are surviving malnutrition, displacement and constant bombardment while also mourning their beloved children.

Last week, the Prime Minister said the world “will not tolerate any more excuses” on aid not being delivered to Gaza.
Since then, Palestinian children in Gaza have continued to be bombed, shot, starved and besieged by Israeli forces. They are being systematically denied the very basic means for their survival.
And now they face losing one of their few remaining lifelines. @UNRWA is the backbone of an already crippled aid response, supplying food and water to children and families who have nowhere else to turn. Unilaterally criminalising UNRWA, its activities, and its staff is unconscionable.
@Keir_Starmer, your words are meaningless without action.
The UK must do everything in its power to ensure UNRWA can continue to deliver its lifesaving services, and to end this war on children. This includes securing an immediate, definitive ceasefire and suspending all arms to Israel.

The depths of human suffering felt by children in Gaza are immeasurable. No child should experience even a second of these horrors, let alone 20 months.
Yet, the UK continues to transfer arms to Israel.
The UK Government must immediately halt all arms transfers to Israel and demand accountability for every life lost and every family torn apart.

Today the UK Government has been taken to court over it's ongoing exports of F-35 components to Israel.
The UK has enabled attacks on civilians by continuing to approve the supply of British-made parts for F-35 fighter jets - despite acknowledging last year the clear risk that they are being used to commit violations of international law.
While the Government defends their continued supply of lethal arms to Israel in court, children are being killed by bombs and bullets at an unprecedented rate.
Children who survive airstrikes are being injured so badly their limbs need to be amputated - often without anaesthetic, because there isn't any left.
Keir Starmer, David Lammy: history is watching you. Is this what you want your legacy to be?
The UK Government must immediately suspend all arms to Israel, including parts for the F-35 fighter jets being used to kill and maim children. The UK Government must not be an ally to Israel's atrocities.

We cannot believe we have to keep saying this: schools must be off-limits. Attacks on schools must not be normalised.
The UK’s decision to step up its action against the Government of Israel last week was the right thing to do.
But the UK Government continues to supply arms, including components for F-35 fighter jets used to rain terror on civilians.
Every bomb dropped, every child buried in rubble, deepens our moral responsibility.

All of his children, his wife Fatima, and many other members of his extended family of 28 are also believed to have been killed following an Israeli airstrike.
Sameh will be remembered by his colleagues for spreading such joy and kindness, dancing at staff workshops, and always stepping in to make breakfast and coffee for everyone.

🚨 With the CEOs of 12 major aid orgs, we are making an urgent plea: let us do our jobs.
Every single person in Gaza is relying on humanitarian aid to survive.
That lifeline has been cut off since a blockade on all aid supplies was imposed by Israeli authorities on 2nd March.

Children in Gaza are living in a nightmare they can't wake up from.
The UK must immediately suspend arms sales to the Government of Israel and demand an immediate and definitive #CeasefireNOW to protect children.

Rolling back on net zero climate policies is a betrayal of children's futures ❌
It exposes the Prime Minister’s ambition to create the place "we all want it to be for our children" as mere lip service.

This is not ok. At a time when families in the UK need support most, #FreeSchoolMeals must provide children with the food and nutrition they need, and families with the dignity they deserve.
Then imagine we expect the children to engage in learning from home. Not to mention the parents who, at times, have to teach them who probably haven’t eaten at all so their children can...
We MUST do better. This is 2021

Words of concern from the UK Government are meaningless without action.
As Gaza's population is starved, displaced and bombed by Israel in plain sight, the UK Government must act now to end its complicity by suspending all arms transfers to Israel, including components for F-35 fighter jets used to rain terror on children.
They must hold the Government of Israel accountable for the harm children continue to face, as is demanded by their obligations under international law.
The UK condemns the decision by Israel’s Higher Planning Committee today to approve the E1 settlement plan.
If implemented, it would divide a Palestinian state in two, mark a flagrant breach of international law and critically undermine the two-state solution.
The Israeli government must reverse this decision.

GAZA: New figures show 20,000 children killed in nearly 23 months of war.
That's more than one Palestinian child killed by Israeli forces every hour.

🚨 BREAKING: The UK government is restoring funding to @UNRWA.
We welcome @DavidLammy's announcement, which couldn't come soon enough.
UNRWA plays a vital role in providing food aid, shelter & medical care to children in Gaza. Without funding more innocent lives would be lost.

It is an unspeakable tragedy that @WCKitchen staff, like so many other aid workers, have lost their lives while saving others.
The work of humanitarians in #Gaza is vital, they are protected under international humanitarian law.
The pattern of attacks on aid workers is an outrage. #CeasefireNOW

Time has run out to protect children in #Rafah.
The looming ground assault forcing hundreds of thousands to flee and impeding aid efforts in Gaza’s ‘last refuge’.
The UK government must do everything in its power to stop the ground assault happening, thousands of young lives depend on it.

❗ Please read and share: at least 189 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since hostilities escalated across the Middle East. Many were killed trying to access aid so they could feed their families.
Very little food, water, fuel, or medicine is entering Gaza and children are suffering.
This is a deliberate humanitarian catastrophe.
The UK Government cannot forget about Gaza as an entire population is starved and killed in plain sight. For too long, the UK has allied itself to Israel’s atrocities in Gaza.
The UK Government must:
🔴 Suspend all arms transfers to Israel
🔴 Hold all perpetrators accountable and end Israel’s impunity
🔴 Do whatever they can to ensure international law is upheld
🔴 Take all possible steps to end the occupation
Over the coming days and weeks, we must continue to keep our eyes on Gaza.

We are appalled by this callous discussion about a disabled facility for children between an aide and Matt Hancock reported in today's @Telegraph.
This tallies with our long-standing concern that the UK govt neglected children's needs during the pandemic.

61 children in #Gaza and two children in southern Israel have been killed in the last week.
In times of conflict, children are always the most vulnerable.
We are calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties.

Today marks two months of total siege since it was reimposed by the Government of Israel.
All that has entered Gaza is bombs and bullets. Instead of much needed food, clothing or tents to help children survive, airstrikes continue. They are killing, maiming and destroying the lives of children and their families.
Denying humanitarian aid is a violation of international law. The halt on aid must be immediately reversed and humanitarian assistance must be allowed to enter Gaza.
Words of concern are meaningless without action.
The UK Government must end its complicity, and urgently:
⚠️ Suspend all arms transfers to Israel
⚠️ Hold all perpetrators accountable and end Israel’s impunity
⚠️ Take all steps to bring an end to Israel’s occupation

We are horrified that children continue to be killed every day in Gaza.
At least 19 people, including children, have been killed by an Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter in north Gaza.
Each child killed was someone’s everything, with hopes and dreams for the future. They deserved their future.
We are continuing to urge the UK government to use their power and influence to secure an immediate, definitive ceasefire, and suspend all arms sales to the Government of Israel.
