Israeli forces have killed at least 20,000 children in Gaza since October 2023.

This is a deeply shameful statistic for our collective humanity – a horrific new low.

Every single one of these 20,000 children had names, favourite subjects in school, and hopes and dreams for the future.

Our CEO Moazzam discussed Save the Children's work in Gaza and the wider challenges facing humanitarian agencies today on the BBC World Service.

Ar ddechrau blwyddyn ysgol newydd ni ddylai pryder a straen fod ar frig yr amserlen!

Ond mae'n realiti i nifer o rieni a phlant sy'n poeni am gostau.

Byddai ymestyn #prydauysgolamddim i fwy o blant oedran uwchradd yn helpu i leddfu'r baich ar deuluoedd.

September shouldn’t have to spell-out stress.

But parents and children tell us they're worried about meeting back to school costs.

Extending #freeschoolmeals to more secondary-aged children would help ease the burden for families who need it most.

School costs a 'real struggle' for parents in Wales

One parent says she starts planning months in advance for the costs of the new school term.

David Lammy, when is the UK Government going to stop enabling attacks like these by suspending all arms transfers to Israel?

The majority of the UK public think we should stop licensing the export of F-35 parts to Israel, which rain terror on civilians in Gaza.

Famine has been confirmed in Gaza, with over half a million facing starvation, destitution and death.

We have been warning about this impending tragedy for months. The UK can't say they didn't know this would happen.

Israel's siege is starving the children of Gaza. 100 children have now died as a result of starvation and malnutrition. This is an entirely preventable man-made starvation crisis.

Keir Starmer, David Lammy - how can you continue to be complicit in these monstrosities?
