Children and women often suffer the most, are protected the least and usually have their needs overlooked in such extreme situations. We are running out of time to make a difference for hundreds of thousands trapped in the cycle of violence in El Fasher. planau.me/urgent-aid-e...

We are deeply alarmed by reports of civilian casualties and forced displacement amid further escalation of fighting in El Fasher, #Sudan. All armed actors need to protect all trapped civilians in the city by ensuring access to humanitarian aid and their safe passage.

"... While it emphasises regional stability and prosperity and highlights gender equality as central to development, food security receives only a passing mention." Read the full answer here: www.devintelligencelab.com/intel/28octo...

On food security & gender, Conor said: "Food security is deeply intertwined with gender equality and regional stability. Yet, Australia’s 2023 International Development Policy does not identify food security as a core priority..."

Plan Australia's Associate Director of Policy & Advocacy Conor Costello was asked by the Development Intelligence Lab on Intel, "Can Australia turn it's agricultural capability into regional food security?"

Every one in #Gaza has the right to food, water, and safety, especially children. We must act now before hope is lost. Let Gaza live. planau.me/5mzi6idp

We are deeply disturbed and fully oppose reports of an Israeli planned camp in #Gaza. The forcible transfer of a population is illegal, inhumane, and not remotely humanitarian. We need a #CeasefireNow, not a detention camp. www.plan.org.au/media-centre...

It is essential that food and aid supplies resume immediately. Without this children and their families will starve to death. www.ipcinfo.org/ipcinfo-webs...

The IPC report says a third of people in Gaza are forced to collect garbage to sell for food but that many find no valuable garbage remains. 71,000 children in Gaza are suffering from acute malnutrition – the Israeli aid blockade must end.

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.

We remain devastated by news of continued fighting that has left hundreds of civilians dead, including 9 aid workers. Two years since the start of the #SudanConflict and the lives of the people of Sudan continue to be torn apart. This must stop. planau.me/2w1l3tye
