14,500 children have been reported killed in Gaza.
50,000 children are acutely malnourished.
Over 1 million children are in need of mental health and psychosocial support.
This situation is incomprehensible, and urgent action is needed. #CeasefireNow
A 14 year old boy has had limbs amputated after opening a tin of food that he found in his house in Khan Younis, after the withdrawal of the Israeli Defence Forces.

30 years ago today, the Genocide Against the Tutsi was unleashed in Rwanda. Thoughts are with the Rwandan people as we remember the tragic atrocities of the 100 days of devastation. Their resilience amidst tragedy reminds us of the enduring power of hope. 🕯️ #RememberUniteRenew
Just spoke on Virgin Media News about the harrowing reality faced by the people of Gaza, deprived of basic necessities like food and clean water. The situation is dire, with famine imminent, and immense challenges lie ahead even with a ceasefire. Watch the clip below:
