Every day, 244 children in Europe fall into poverty.

Today is the #InternationalDayOfCharity.
But in Gaza, charity isn’t reaching starving children — because of a near-total siege on aid.
We are no longer able to support starving families in Gaza.
This famine is engineered & preventable.
Children are paying the highest price.

💡What’s the EU’s smartest move forward? Invest in children everywhere.
Kids make up half the population in many partner countries — but get only a small share of EU aid.
With the next #MFF on the horizon, our new paper shows why that must change👇
