I had to make sure you saw this urgent update. Over 100 people are reportedly dead and more than 750 are injured after Thursday’s tragedy while civilians were seeking desperately needed aid in Gaza.
We must ensure protection for people in Gaza accessing lifesaving support. We must ensure humanitarian organizations can safely deliver food, water, medicine and other critical assistance. Ultimately, a ceasefire and the immediate release of all hostages are the only ways to keep children and their families safe.
As this crisis continues, your donation to the Children’s Emergency Fund – which allows us to provide immediate and long-term support to children affected by conflict, disaster and other crises – can make a huge difference.
Our work to protect children’s lives and futures is only possible with your generosity. Thank you for supporting children, at this critical moment and always.
Janti Soeripto President & CEO, Save the Children
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Emergency Response @ Save the Children Date: Fri, Mar 1, 2024 Subject: URGENT: More than 100 reportedly died trying to access aid in Gaza
The latest tragic incident in Gaza is devastating. Reports indicate over 100 people died and more than 700 were injured while trying to receive desperately needed aid.
Jason Lee, Country Director for Save the Children in the occupied Palestinian territory, said:
“The reports emerging are beyond horrific … While children are dying from lack of food, their parents are dying trying to get it … There must be actions taken to ensure adherence to international humanitarian law. Civilians cannot be denied lifesaving assistance, or be killed trying to get help.”
To protect children in this crisis, Save the Children is calling for safe access for civilians to receive a massive increase in humanitarian aid supplies and the personnel needed to deliver it, as well as an immediate ceasefire and the release of all remaining hostages. These are the only ways to save lives and protect children’s futures.
