We're absolutely horrified that at least 50 children have reportedly been killed in an Israeli attack on homes in northern Gaza over the weekend. At least 14,100 children have been killed in Gaza so far. How many children killed is too many before our leaders say 'enough is enough'? The UK government remains complicit, refusing to suspend all arms sales - despite the clear risk of violations of International humanitarian law. "If the international community does not intervene soon, an entire generation of children in Gaza will be erased, along with their futures. All states have a legal obligation to prevent the crime of genocide" - Jeremy Stoner, Middle East Regional Director for Save the Children. We are continuing to urge the UK government to use its power and influence to secure an immediate, definitive ceasefire, and suspend all arms sales to the Government of Israel.

The IDF continues to kill children.
We repeat. Nowhere is safe in Gaza. Children need a ceasefire NOW.

Fascinating opening at the Constellating Peace Conference in Freetown with Vice President Dr Jalloh. Key takeaway: a successful state is measured through participation and trust which comes from community engagement and grassroots development @catalyzingpeace @fambultok

Damaging UN assets is yet another example of Israel breaking international law.
UNIFIL statement: Earlier today, an IDF bulldozer deliberately demolished an observation tower and perimeter fence of a UN position in Marwahin.
