In Nov @UNICEF called #Gaza “a graveyard for children”. This month I saw new graveyards in Rafah being constructed. And filled. A military offensive in Rafah?! Rafah: Home to Gaza’s largest remaining hospital & aid agencies’ main access point. Rafah: a city of children
Reports are now that more than 14,000 girls and boys have been killed in #Gaza. Perhaps we should say that slowly. Fourteen thousand. Perhaps we should do something. And surely that 'something' is not a military offensive in Rafah. Ceasefire. Now
Not easy watching. But as we do, little 9yr old Fouad is still enduring. And in #Rafah >> where a military offensive is still promised/ threatened. That will be another utterly devastating turn in this war on children.

Approximately 2 in 3 homes in #Gaza have been destroyed or damaged. HOMES. People's Homes.
The crisis in #Sudan necessitates urgent action aje.io/lkmd86 via @AJEnglish Brutal hostilities and potential famine are creating ominous conditions for the large scale death of children. Politics tower while children cower.
Israel has a legal obligation, under international humanitarian and human rights law, to provide food and medical supplies, and facilitate aid operations.

We at the @UN are mourning the unconscionable killing by Israeli airstrikes of @WCKitchen aid workers who were delivering food to starving people in Gaza. 175 members of our own staff met a similar fate. #NotATarget wck.org/news/gaza-team…

An immense loss. Last week we visited the incredible team @WCKitchen in #Gaza. Their tireless, lifesaving work is a lifeline to so many cut off in this brutal war. Their deaths are a senseless tragedy. And another grim reminder of daily threats to civilians & aid workers

Teenage girls wish bombs would drop on them to end their suffering. This is the horror of Gaza. I'm joined by UNICEF's brilliant @1james_elder, live from Rafah 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=d_olFr…
At a time when more children in #Gaza need emergency lifesaving care than ever before, hundreds of hospitals and other vital medical infrastructure have been attacked!

When asked if Gazans are being forgotten…
Maria. 30minutes old. Incredible doctors & midwives! Though, Maria. is born into war, and already dealing with loss. #Gaza
Where is the ceasefire for children?? Enough, please, enough.
A brilliant explainer from @UNOCHA (I was on a convoy today to the north of #Gaza - 10hrs to go south to north (& back), with just one truck of lifesaving supplies. Brutal suffering & forced deprivation of women & children.)

Israel Assault On Rafah Means "Annihilation": w/. Unicef's James Elder, ... youtu.be/d_olFrh1hUc?si… via @YouTube
“They’ve come with nothing. Walking for days.” As violence in DR Congo forces massive displacement of children and families, watch how UNICEF and partners are doing everything possible to deliver life-saving supplies.
“In the three months between my visits, every horrific number rose dramatically. Gaza has shattered humanity's records for its darkest chapters. Humanity must now urgently write a different chapter.” UNICEF Spokesperson @1james_elder. Read the full briefing:…
James Elder, UNICEF spokesperson, 22 March: > “The depth of the horror surpasses our ability to describe it… As soon as you drive through the north, you get that universal gesture of hunger of people putting their hands to their mouths. A lot of children, women with very gaunt…
There has been a lot of debate and finger-pointing about the challenges to getting aid to people in need in Gaza. So, let’s settle this once and for all.
❤️🩹story of Gazal, 4, recovering in Qatar. @UNICEF estimates that a thousand children in Gaza have become amputees as a result of the war. “This is the biggest cohort of pediatric amputees in history.” newyorker.com/news/dispatch/…
"If I go back with the twins, where do I go with them? Where would I get diapers and milk?" Israeli authorities are preparing to send a group of Palestinian patients who were treated in East Jerusalem hospitals back to Gaza, along with their infant children. @JDiamond1…
Famine is imminent in Gaza. The international community should hang its head in shame for failing to stop it.
“I promised myself that I would never get to the point of saying ‘we can’t describe this’. Today, I just wish that I could have captured the number of mum’s who greeted me in tears because they’re running out of ways to protect their children from starvation &bombs” @1james_elder
Watch: St Patrick’s Day 2024 🇮🇪 Celebrating the 70 million people around the 🌍 who call #Ireland ‘home’ “Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine” We live in each other’s shelter Happy #StPatricksDay ☘️ Lá Fhéile Pádraig 🙌 This is #GlobalIreland 👉ireland.ie
“Nothing is a substitute for a ceasefire. Delivering aid under bombardment does not stop the destruction... We cannot save people from hunger only then to bomb them to death.” Queen Rania spoke with me about Jordan airdropping aid into Gaza, the humanitarian crisis, and more.
Today, a joint WHO, OCHA and UNICEF mission delivered lifesaving vaccines, formula milk, and other supplies to Al-Shifa hospital, north of #Gaza. These supplies will support hundreds of children in an extremely dire situation. More aid is needed to address the needs of children.
"The fear is that the number of people killed & injured might once again significantly increase, in a conflict where already more than 100,000 people have either been killed, injured, or missing. In 4 months time - 5% of the population." - @UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini on Rafah
