The situation in Gaza is catastrophic, with famine now imminent, according to the IPC partnership’s latest report. This human-made situation will worsen rapidly unless significant, immediate measures are taken.
Plan International is deeply concerned by the significant increase in violence in Haiti. Gang violence has now displaced more than 362,000 people from their homes, a figure that has increased by 15,000 in just 10 days. Of those displaced from their homes, one in three (32%) are children and adolescents.
Children are dying from starvation in Gaza. We’re calling for an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire and a massive increase in humanitarian assistance. The Australian Government must reinstate funding immediately to UNRWA – the main aid provider for the 1.1 million children facing starvation in Gaza – and must prioritise delivering lifesaving aid to people in Gaza.
As the number of children killed in Gaza tragically reaches 10,000, Plan International calls on governments worldwide to stand in solidarity with Palestinian children.
Plan International Australia welcomes the Australian Government signing onto the Glasgow Statement at COP28 yesterday, ruling out funding of overseas fossil fuel projects. This is a positive step to a clean energy transition to help ensure a clean and healthy environment for children and young people.
After a pause in fighting for just one week, Plan International is devastated by the resumption of violence in Gaza over the weekend and the shocking number of civilians and children being killed in a matter of days. Following the week-long pause and the release of 110 hostages from Gaza and 240 Palestinian prisoners, hopes held out by humanitarian agencies of a permanent and lasting ceasefire were crushed when Israel’s bombardments across the Gaza Strip resumed on Friday 1 December.
Since 7 October, 11,078 people, including over 4600 children, have been killed in Gaza. We demand a complete and unconditional ceasefire, immediately. In 41 days 11,078 people, including over 4,600 children, have been killed according to the United Nations. No conflict should ever reach this point.
