Today marks 3 years since the 7 October 2023 attacks in Israel and the escalation of violence that followed, devastating lives across Gaza, the West Bank and Israel.
We urge the EU to uphold and promote respect for International Humanitarian Law & ensure the safety of children.
🌍As the EU advances its climate agenda, the gendered impacts of the #ClimateCrisis cannot be ignored.

🔵Today, 273M children are out of school, while 234M crisis-affected children need educational support.
On the International Day to Protect Education from Attack, we call on decision-makers to strengthen the right of children to learn safely, even in the midst of crisis.
The death toll from Nepal's devastating floods continues to rise, with thousands still missing. The urgent need for sustained humanitarian funding is clear.
As negotiations on the EU's next MFF continue, support for communities affected by climate shocks must not be overlooked.
As we reflect on #WorldHumanitarianDay, let's remember that effective humanitarian action is about more than delivering aid. It's about ensuring people affected by crises have a voice in the decisions that shape their lives.
🎥 Our colleague Annalisa explains why:

❓Humanitarian vs. Development: What’s the difference?
🏥Humanitarian: Immediate life-saving response (food, water, medicine). Needs-based.
🏗️Development: Long-term growth (infrastructure, energy). Strategy-based.
We save lives today so communities can build for tomorrow!
The @Ireland2026eu represents a key opportunity to put children first.
Together with @UNICEF, @save_children & @WorldVision, @PlanIreland has developed a set of recommendations to ensure children's rights and needs are reflected in EU external action.
