Around 50,000 babies have been born in #Gaza in 9 months of war⚠️ Women are facing significant challenges throughout their pregnancies, including a lack of food and clean water, frequent displacement, the traumatic loss of loved ones, and the fear of injury or death. They are also giving birth in traumatic, unhygienic and undignified conditions without access to basic services. It’s an immeasurable political failure that the war has gone on for 9 months - the same time it has taken for a mother to survive a full-term pregnancy💔 Save the Children is curretly running a maternity unit in the Gaza Strip, which was set up with the Emergency Health Unit to help women deliver their babies safely. But it is not enough. We call for an immediate and definitive ceasefire as it's the only way to save lives in Gaza and end the relentless, serious violations of children’s rights.

🚨 Somalia is at the forefront of the climate crisis 🚨 During Save the Children ambassador Sir Mo Farah's poignant journey back to his birthplace, he was heartbroken to witness firsthand the distress and challenge mothers face to feed their families due to the impact of #ClimateChange. Prolonged droughts have destroyed crops and livestock, causing extreme food insecurity. This has led to: ⚠️ 3.8 million people fleeing their homes ⚠️ Almost 2 million children being risk of acute malnutrition ⚠️ 40% of the population requiring humanitarian aid But Mo Farah also witnessed hope. He visited our health centres, where committed staff work tirelessly to diagnose, treat and prevent malnutrition, helping create lasting change for children who need it the most❤️ Join us in making a difference to the lives of children in Somalia and around the world.

Right now the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is in serious crisis and the world isn't taking notice ⚠ Ongoing conflict is threatening children’s lives, uprooting millions from their homes, and turning children’s schools and play areas into battlegrounds. Families and children are facing extreme hunger and malnutrition, as they are lacking the basics they need to survive. Children are also at high risk of recruitment by armed forces, child labour, abductions, and sexual violence.  Between January and April 2024 alone, more than 900,000 people have been forced to flee their homes. With 7.3 million internally displaced people, it is the second largest displacement crisis globally. Children are in desperate need for life-saving assistance. They need food, clean water and opportunities to access education. Your donation today can make a difference in their lives.

This year 35 million children are under threat from the most active Atlantic Hurricane season ever ⚠ Right now, Hurricane Beryl is causing huge destruction and devastating the lives of families in the Caribbean and Latin America. The strong winds and heavy rainfalls characteristic of storms of this magnitude have torn through houses and left people with no electricity, clean water or a safe place to take refuge. And the #ClimateCrisis will only make these events become ever more frequent and continue to put children's lives at risk. That is why it's crucial to understand how best to help children in these emergencies. Do you know a child or adult these tips could help? Share our guide➡️ https://lnkd.in/e48mnVyR
