Save the Children Europe @savechildreneu.bsky.social · 18/09/2025What we are witnessing on the ground is consistent with UN findings that a genocide is being committed in Gaza: ❌20,000+ children killed since Oct 2023 ❌Many not only by bombs & bullets but deliberate starvation ❌21,000 left disabled ❌Gaza now has the world’s highest rate of child amputees ⬇️ 144
Save the Children Europe @savechildreneu.bsky.social · 17/09/2025The European Commission’s proposal announced today is long overdue, but it tragically falls short in addressing what the UN has recognised as genocide. #Gaza has been deliberately made uninhabitable, and half-measures cannot reverse the engineered famine or the mass killing of children. 11012

Save the Children Europe @savechildreneu.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Three weeks ago, the EU announced a deal with Israel to allow aid into Gaza “at scale.” Since then: No access. No aid.
