At least 4 babies out of every 100 born will tragically die before their 1st birthday in the DRC.
For mothers every day is a battle to protect their children from hunger, disease & conflict. Families are doing everything they can to survive—yet the odds are stacked against them.

Violence in the DRC is driving one of the world’s most severe & most overlooked humanitarian crises.
Millions have been caught in a cycle of conflict & displacement, forced to flee each time losing their homes, livelihoods & sense of safety they’ve worked hard to rebuild.

Imagine having these challenges as a parent. That's what families in Gaza are facing on a daily basis.
‘We survive on whatever we can find - mostly lentils, rice & bread when flour is available. Fresh vegetables or fruit are rare treasures.’ - Ranin, 26 year old mother in Gaza.

We welcome the news Israel & Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza. It offers the people in Gaza respite from the relentless bombardment, displacement & deprivation.
This is good news for the hostages while also recognising the massive scale of aid that is now needed in Gaza.

Since the Nakba in 1948, the Palestinian story has been defined by displacement & the struggle to return home.
Millions of Palestinians remain refugees, living in the oPt & across the Middle East. Often denied basic human rights, like work restrictions in Lebanon.

Stop starving Gaza.
We continue our #FastForGaza because the Israeli gov continues to use starvation as a weapon of war.
Palestinians are starving. Starvation is a war crime under international law. And silence is complicity.

Everyday, ordinary Palestinians and Israelis stand up for dignity, equality and a just peace, often at great cost.

Recognising a Palestinian state is long overdue.
The rights of both Palestinians and Israelis must be upheld, including the right to self-determination. But for too long, an imbalance of power and a culture of impunity have subjugated the rights of the Palestinian people.
