Changing lives and empowering communities since 1984. Last year our humanitarian and development work helped 17 million people in 40 countries.
💔 #Gaza is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a child. Survivors face trauma that can last a lifetime.

Since 2023, we have been providing hope through psychosocial care – reaching over 100,000 children and 500 women. Alhamdulillah 🤲

🔴 This is a rare moment of hope after more than 15 months of relentless atrocities.

Now, we need lasting peace in #Gaza.

This temporary pause must become permanent, with justice for victims, an end to the occupation and unrestricted humanitarian aid.

🔴 Cold weather and the absence of safe shelter are turning #Gaza into a graveyard for newborns.

This must end.

🔴 Babies in Gaza are freezing to death.

At least 8 Palestinian infants have tragically died from hypothermia – the youngest just 3 days old 💔

A #CeasefireNOW and increased aid access are the only ways to prevent more innocent children from dying this winter.
