As the number of people killed in Gaza passes 60,000, we have a short window to save as many lives as possible. One in three people in Gaza has not eaten for days, and most who have reportedly died from starvation are children. Learn more at www.plan.ie/campaigns/ga...

An entire population is being decimated in front of our eyes. Civilians starved to death, killed while seeking food and shelter. With no access to education, kids are being robbed of their childhood and surviving in "subhuman conditions". This situation is unbearable. #CeasefireNOW
