As the number of people killed in Gaza passes 60,000, we have a short window to save as many lives as possible. One in three people in Gaza has not eaten for days, and most who have reportedly died from starvation are children. Learn more at www.plan.ie/campaigns/ga...

We urge #G7 leaders to take bold action and 👇🏾 increase overseas development assistance for girls and place #GirlsRights and leadership at the ❤️ of international development and humanitarian policy.

An entire population is being decimated in front of our eyes. Civilians starved to death, killed while seeking food and shelter. With no access to education, kids are being robbed of their childhood and surviving in "subhuman conditions". This situation is unbearable. #CeasefireNOW

The attack on a joint UN humanitarian convoy near Al Koma, North Darfur on June 2, 2025 is an unacceptable violation of International Humanitarian Law that will have grave consequences for hundreds of thousands of civilians. Read our statement here: plan-international.org/news/2025/06...

Gaza is facing a critical risk of famine – today’s IPC report finds one in five people in Gaza are facing starvation. Aid has been blocked for over 70 days. 470,000 people are now projected to experience catastrophic food insecurity.

“Port Sudan is burning. We're witnessing one of the most dramatic escalations of violence since the devastating conflict in #Sudan started. The world can't continue to ignore what is happening” - Mohamed Kamal, Country Director for Plan International Sudan plan-international.org/news/2025/05...

We're calling on urgent action from the international community against new Israeli registration rules for international NGOs. Read our letter here with other 54 organisations here: plan-international.org/news/2025/05...

Attacks this week on Gaza City hit Jaffa School and the emergency medical post of our humanitarian partner Juzoor. The reports of civilians being killed, including children, are horrifying.

Yesterday's attacks across #Ukraine have targeted and killed civilians, including children, in their homes while they slept. This is a breach of International Humanitarian Law and parties should be held accountable. Children must have the chance to live without sirens and bombs.

Gaza’s aid system is on the brink of collapse. After 18 months of war and six weeks under total siege, 95% of aid organisations in Gaza have been forced to halt or scale back services. Famine is now a deadly reality. Hospitals are in ruins. Over 51,000 people have been killed. 1/2

Every single person in Gaza is relying on humanitarian aid to survive. That lifeline has been completely cut off since a blockade on all aid supplies was imposed by Israeli authorities on 2 March. Saving lives shouldn't be controversial. Let us do our jobs plan-international.org/news/2025/04...

Hundreds of thousands of people in North Darfur are struggling to survive famine while now also facing extreme violence. There must be an end to the violence and access for humanitarians to provide life-saving support. #NotATarget

Sexual and reproductive rights are fundamental rights. Every person, no matter where they live, deserves access to education, healthcare, and the power to make decisions about their own bodies. Let's work together to ensure these rights are recognized and protected for all.

We continue to call for an immediate and permanent #CeasefireNOW and for safe access to urgently needed humanitarian assistance. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Plan International is devasted to hear of the 7.7 magnitude #earthquake in #Myanmar. We are on the ground and ready to respond to help children and their communities. Our thoughts are with all affected. Local spokespeople available.

Child-friendly spaces are crucial in times of crisis, offering children and adolescents a sense of normalcy, emotional support, and protection from violence and exploitation. Learn more here:

"They destroyed our dreams, they shattered our sleep with bombs and gunpowder, poverty and siege." – Elin, 11, #Gaza Elin lives in a displacement camp in northern Gaza. In a powerful poem, she calls on world leaders to listen to the voices of children & respond with justice. We need a #CeaseFireNow

Health facilities should never be a target in conflict, there must be accountability for attacks against health facilities. Once again, we call for all parties to respect International Humanitarian Law and for a lasting ceasefire.

Thankfully all staff are safe but the centre, which served over 1,000 patients daily and provided children with lifesaving medical care, is severely damaged. Despite this, Juzoor are looking to continue services and have already begun relocating resources.

We are deeply saddened that a Al Rafi Health Center, run by our partner Juzoor in Jabalia, was destroyed in an airstrike in #Gaza yesterday

Yesterday, as Conor McGregor was hosted at the White House by President Trump, it's impossible to ignore the reality of the situation: a man with a history of violence against women being celebrated by the highest office in the land. 1/3

🚨 Attacks against children in #Gaza must end. Plan International is horrified by the latest Israeli airstrikes that have killed at least 300 people overnight—many of them children and women. This indiscriminate violence must stop. 1/3

The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is the UN’s largest annual gathering on gender equality. This #CSW69 we want to see member states take bold action to advance girls’ rights. It’s critical.

🌍 What if the world finally listened to girls? What if policymakers acted on their recommendations? Stories from the Future are a powerful collection of fictional stories and illustrations envisioning 2055. Read the full stories here: ow.ly/PxOR50VfHc7

50 years of International Women’s Day. 50 years of progress—but also of resistance. This #IWD2025, we stand with girls and women everywhere whose rights are under threat. No matter where a girl is born or lives, she should be safe, free from abuse, and able to fully realise her rights.

Humanitarian aid is not a weapon of war. We condemn Israel’s decision to suspend all aid to Gaza, depriving 2.2 million people of basic necessities. This is a violation of International Humanitarian Law. 1/2

The U.S. aid freeze is cutting off a lifeline for millions—halting vaccines, closing clinics, and deepening the global humanitarian crisis. With other 99 humanitarian NGOs, we are calling on EU leaders to act now. #HumanitarianAid #EU #ActNow Read our full statement www.plan.ie/show-on-home...

The UK government’s decision to cut aid to just 0.3% of GNI—while increasing defense spending—will have devastating consequences for women and girls worldwide. 1/3 www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

5 more generations until gender equality. Girls today face greater threats to their rights than ever before. In some places, they have fewer rights than their mothers or even their grandmothers. At the current pace, it will take five generations to close the gender gap. Learn more at www.plan.ie

A staggering 234 million children in crisis need urgent support to access quality education – 35 million more than just three years ago. We call on governments, philanthropy and other donors to stand with us to 👇🏾 @eiegenevahub.bsky.social eiehub.org/news/funding...

4.6 MILLION children in Ukraine having faced significant barriers to learning since May 2024. Plan International's Sven Coppens, Director of Ukraine Refugee Crisis Response, reports: www.express.co.uk/news/world/2...

As #Ukraine enters the fourth year of a devastating war; we’re calling on the international community to maintain and continue its support for those affected by the ongoing crisis.

Going into its fourth year, the #WarInUkraine has robbed an entire generation of Ukrainian children of safety, stability, and the chance to simply be kids. Schools have been destroyed, families displaced, and millions forced to start over in unfamiliar places.

With the majority of payments for US-government funded aid projects frozen, our work to achieve #GenderEquality faces even greater challenges, with consequences for girls, boys and children around the world. We must stand with girls in all their diversity💪 Read more at www.plan.ie/staff-blog/n...

📢 #WorldDayofSocialJustice Around the world, girls’ and women’s rights are increasingly under threat. Cuts to overseas development assistance and a growing anti-rights movement risk undoing years of progress in gender equality. 1/2
