Join the call for a definitive ceasefire now
The pause in hostilities in Gaza has ended and the Israeli authorities have halted the entry of aid into Gaza.
Denying humanitarian aid is a crime under international law and a grave violation against children. The halt on aid must be immediately reversed and humanitarian assistance must be allowed to enter Gaza.
The potential resumption of hostilities in Gaza is nothing short of a death sentence for Gaza's children.
This halting of aid will have devastating consequences for 1.1 million children in Gaza and their families as children already on the brink of famine and suffering severe malnutrition will not be able to get the nutrition and food they need, families will not be able to rebuild their destroyed and damaged homes and children who have been injured and maimed in the war will not be able to access the treatment they need.
The world cannot turn a blind eye as children in Gaza are once again at risk of being killed, maimed, displaced, starved, and left even more vulnerable to disease and the elements. A definitive ceasefire remains the only way to ensure children are protected from further bodily and mental harm. It is the very least they are owed, and the very least the international community is obliged to deliver.
The international community cannot afford to fail Palestinian children. We must demand that the ceasefire becomes definitive and put an end to the violence now.
Together, we can protect children from the horrors of this conflict. Stand in unity with the hundreds of thousands who have already taken action and sign the petition for a definitive ceasefire now.
