Plan International UK’s Post

Today’s alarming Human Rights Watch report sets out how Israeli authorities have deliberately caused massive, forced displacement of civilians in #Gaza and says they are responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity.   The report also underlines the horrors that children continue to face in Gaza, with the cutting off of aid and resources ‘leading to a humanitarian crisis where children are now dying from starvation.’ This unacceptable obstruction of humanitarian access and the targeting of humanitarian aid and workers in Gaza must end immediately, including a reversal on the cruel ban on UNRWA delivering life-saving aid to Palestinians.     There is currently no safe place for Gazan children, with many children and their families displaced numerous times and experiencing catastrophic living conditions. Every day that passes means more children killed and injured, more children experiencing extreme hunger, and more children facing indescribable trauma.   For the good of all civilians, this impunity must end. Governments, including the UK Government, must urgently step up their diplomatic pressure on Israel – including through ending all arms sales – and demand an immediate #CeasefireNow.
