The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is indescribable. As Northern Gaza faces imminent famine, UNRWA's protection is vital. We strongly condemn Israel's ban on its operations. EU member states must uphold their obligations following the ICC’s arrest warrants for PM Netanyahu and former Minister Gallant.

After months of death and destruction, the ceasefire in Lebanon is a moment to hope.
Israel must withdraw from Lebanese territory and the implementation of #UNSCR1701 is crucial. Humanitarian aid, reconstruction and the return of refugees and IDPs must be at the heart of our action.

Social exclusion
Lack of purpose & sense of belonging
Low education & employment
All these make children in disadvantaged areas across 🇪🇺 particularly vulnerable for recruitment by criminal gangs.
Prevention is possible. But only if we address these causes properly!
