Save the Children US’ Post

Without enough to eat children can’t learn, play, or grow. Save the Children Ambassador Chef Eric Adjepong recently visited our food security programs in Malawi to witness the impact of the global hunger crisis and what can be done to help. Kids deserve a future free from hunger, but right now, 45 million children worldwide are facing acute malnutrition.

Our colleagues in Gaza are civilians living with families who have experienced profound losses over the past year. They've been uprooted from their homes and lost loved ones. Like all families in Gaza, they are living without enough food, clean drinking water, and access to adequate medical care. Despite these difficulties, they continue to do what they can to survive and care for their families and they continue to show up to work every day to support children. Aid workers must be protected. And we need a definitive ceasefire now to continue lifesaving efforts, and ensure children live to see tomorrow.

Around the world, children living in conflict zones have been bombed and starved. They have seen their friends and families die, and schools and hospitals turned to rubble. They have been denied food, medicine and vital aid, and been torn away from their lives as they flee the fighting. The psychological toll of living through continuous conflict, not knowing if this day will be their last, is enormous. Swipe to learn five ways conflict impacts children’s mental health. And join our call to stop the war on children. #WorldMentalHealthDay

Children in Gaza have had their childhoods shattered. They’re paying the highest price for a war they play no part in. Every day, they face violence, fear, loss, displacement, hunger and devastation – things that should not be normalized for any child anywhere. For the past year, Save the Children has been working tirelessly with local partners to provide emergency support to children and families. But the truth is, we still aren’t able to support at the pace and scale that is needed in Gaza. We need a definitive ceasefire now. It is the only way to protect children’s lives, enable the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance and ensure the release of all remaining hostages.

In every conflict, it is children who pay the highest price. At least 37 Israeli children were killed in the October 7 attacks last year. And the relentless bombardment and siege that has followed has shattered the lives of the children in Gaza, with more than 14,000 children killed. It has been one year of bombs, airstrikes, and bullets. One year of living in fear. As violence continues children will pay the price with their lives and their futures. We need a definitive ceasefire now to protect the lives of all children, guarantee the return of all children taken hostage and ensure the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance.
