Children are always innocent. Children are not a target. We must protect them.
The horror and trauma children are facing in Gaza right now is indescribable and unconscionable.
With the terrible escalation of violence, Plan International continues to call on all parties involved for an unconditional, immediate, sustained and complete ceasefire and improved humanitarian access. We also call for the release of all civilian hostages and Palestinian children held as prisoners.
As a humanitarian organisation which advocates for children’s rights and principled humanitarian action around the world, Plan International is devastated to witness the horrific violence that has engulfed Gaza and Israel since 7 October.
Plan International has an active humanitarian presence in Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon.
Currently, Plan International Egypt are supporting the Egyptian Red Crescent and have delivered supplies including food and first aid kits via the Rafah crossing.
In the south of Lebanon, where cross border tensions have led to widespread internal displacement, Plan International Lebanon are providing a range of support to displaced children and their families including non-food items, food, and household hygiene kits.
Children are always innocent victims of war. All children have the right to a life free from violence and fear and it is the collective responsibility of the global community to protect that right.
Donate today, to help us deliver critical aid to children in Gaza.
