Children in #Gaza are suffering devastating levels of stress. @unrwa’s team is working with children & adolescents to mitigate the impact of the horrors of war.

Our counselors offer them hope and comfort. We have to protect their present & their future #CeasefireNow

At least 92 Palestinian journalists have been killed in the occupied Gaza Strip over the last 6 months, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists no other war has taken so many journalists’ lives in such a short span over the course of the last 30 years.

We now have another The Hands Up Project English drama club up and running in the Gaza Strip. It's run in a house and open to any local kids of all ages National Education Union Open Drama UK handsupproject.org/blog-hup/we-ca…

The war in #Gaza continues to be a war on women.

Over 10,000 women have been killed & 19,000 injured

Conditions are appalling; +155,000 pregnant or breastfeeding women faced with severely limited access to water & sanitary items.

Yesterday marked 30 years since the end of apartheid in South Africa.

It ended because ordinary people had the courage to stand up for humanity.

Global solidarity was the answer then, and it’s the answer now. We will carry on marching for peace, justice and a free Palestine.

I’m Ghadeer.

I'm so sad to tell you that Fatema was killed with all her family.😭

Please share this to the whole world.

'When teacher Ghadeer shared this awful message with me on WhatsApp on 27th October, I don’t suppose she dreamt for one minute that

Gaza. No journalists allowed. No human rights monitors allowed. No investigators allowed. Humanitarians severely restricted.
No witnesses, other than the victims themselves.

Hope comes from the 'Watermelon Revolution' (if its brave souls allow me to call it such).

Solo en Gaza se puede ver el lanzamiento de ayuda y de bombas al mismo tiempo, reflejo de la incoherencia mundial.

The deliberate targeting of children is one of the many atrocities the US is enabling as it funds the Israeli military’s genocide of Palestinians. Of the over 33,000 Palestinians the Israeli military murdered in Gaza, over 14,000 are children. 🧵

Absolutely delighted to announce the launch of this compilation of classroom activities for The Hands Up Project

All proceeds go to providing moments of calm to the children of Gaza.
