16-year-old Ali fled war in Sudan and now lives in a refugee camp in Uganda. Despite challenges, he finds joy in football at our Child Friendly Space.

His father’s biggest wish? That Ali and his siblings get the education they need for a brighter future. ❤️

20,000 children in Gaza have been killed in the last 23 months.

That’s one child in Gaza killed every hour.

If the international community does not step up, an entire generation of children in Gaza will be lost.

We need a definitive ceasefire and immediate access to deliver aid.

These children's lives in Gaza were stolen by war. Every single death preventable.

We can’t bring back the over 19,000 killed, but we must help the children who will die without a lasting ceasefire and immediate aid surge.

We're deeply concerned by the recent escalation in hostilities marked by air strikes between Israel & Iran.

The risk of a broader regional confrontation is real & deeply worrying.

We're calling for immediate de-escalation & the protection of civilians, especially children.

Never in my lifetime did I imagine kids would be left to endure such unthinkable trauma. The aid reaching Gaza is nowhere near enough. Most can’t access it. It won’t stop the hunger, illness & suffering.

SaveUS CEO shares with @BiannaGolodryga, the new aid hub model in Gaza is a "woefully inadequate plan, badly executed."

Children need more than just food.

They need medical care, clean water, and above all, they need the fighting to stop.

Today at the UN Security Council I called on world leaders to do their jobs and fulfil their commitments to protect civilians and children in conflict.

Over 470 Million children, more than 1 in 6 now live in areas affected by conflict.

The House of Representatives has approved a reconciliation bill.

We welcome steps to boost the Child Tax Credit & child care support—but proposed SNAP changes risk leaving families worse off.

The crisis in Gaza has grown to unimaginable levels. Now, the UN warns that 14,000 babies could die in the next 48 hours if aid doesn’t reach them.

Humanitarians must be given unimpeded, immediate access to deliver life-saving aid and address the scale of the deadly crisis.

We’re in the process of working with local and state partners to deliver essential supplies to families. We’re also working to assess damages to child care and early learning centers as well as how we can support the mental health needs of children and caregivers.
