Civilians continue to endure relentless horrors in #Rafah and across Gaza, with nowhere safe to go. The international community must take urgent action to protect civilians, end the flow of arms, allow aid, and ensure #CeasefireNOW.

Even as we celebrate #International_Womens_Day we must remember that the majority of the world women still live under a patriarchal society that limits their rights, opportunities, and all too often, their lives. Let’s make the change today, together. @WorldVision

“The world should be absolutely horrified. The world should be absolutely outraged. […] There is no safe space in #Gaza.” 🔊 A harrowing message from Gemma Connell, our team leader on the ground, after a hospital in the region was hit during an attack. #NotATarget

We welcome the announcement today that the border crossing at Kerem Shalom will be open for direct delivery of humanitarian assistance to Gaza. The fast implementation of this agreement will increase the flow of aid. But what the people in Gaza need most is an end to this war.
