#GAZA: 30% of the identified children killed in Gaza were younger than 5, 710 of them were babies aged under 12 months. Gaza is now the deadliest place in the world for children, due to constant violence & the highest rates of child malnutrition globally.

Meryl Streep at the United Nations: A female cat has more freedoms than a woman in Afghanistan,
"A cat may go sit on her front stoop and feel the sun on her face," Streep said. "She may chase a squirrel into the park. A squirrel has more rights than a girl in Afghanistan."

2023 was the deadliest year on record for humanitarian workers.
2024 is on track to be even worse⚠️
The world is failing them & the people they serve.
This #WorldHumanitarianDay, we demand an end to these violations & the impunity with which they're committed.

I condemn the continued loss of life in Gaza.
Amidst continued horror, displacement & suffering, we have witnessed yet another devastating strike by Israel on a school in Gaza City.
I reiterate my urgent appeal for an immediate ceasefire & the unconditional release of all hostages.

Over 650 children from the West Bank & an unknown number from #Gaza have been detained since Oct by Israel.
They're facing increasing starvation, infectious diseases & abuse.
The arbitrary detention & ill-treatment of Palestinian kids must end.

Children in #Haiti could face new dangers as international security forces are deployed to tackle the violent armed groups.
30%-50% of armed group members are children.
These kids are victims of child rights violations & must be treated as such.

10+ million children fled their homes in the world's top 10 crises in 2023.
These are #children with hopes & dreams🌟
When kids lose their homes, they lose it all: #education, healthcare & safety.
Nobody chooses to be displaced. We work to ensure it does not define them❤️

Over 40% of the world's refugees are children⚠️
A #refugee is someone forced to leave their country because it’s not safe for them to stay.
But they're also so much more. They are future doctors, musicians & mothers❤️

We strongly condemn the latest attack on a camp in #Rafah & other densely populated areas.
Children are reported among the casualties.
There is nowhere safe left for children in #Gaza. The worst-case scenario we feared is becoming a reality⚠️
We urgently need a #CeasefireNOW.

I started this project 7 months ago with a simple question: How does someone fight #cancer in #Haiti? The answer led me to some incredible women and children who are trying to live despite no radiation & limited treatment options. My story: miamiherald.com/news/nation-…

The #earthquake may have disrupted my remarks at the UN Security Council, but what I called for is far from earth shattering.
On behalf of all children in Gaza, I demanded action.
The world has the tools to address this crisis. It merely lacks the political will to use them.
#BREAKING: “You’re making the ground shake!” UN Security Council hears as mid-morning #earthquake interrupts briefing on the situation in the Middle East.
