But 10 days is not enough.

Our thoughts are with the family, friends, and colleagues left behind.
But words are not enough.
What is urgently needed now is the protection of civilians and humanitarian workers, accountability for violations, and an end to the impunity that allows such attacks to continue.
Over 100 million children have now been caught up in the Middle East crisis.
Every day, thousands more are having to flee their homes to seek safety.

Motherhood is being shaped by conditions of war no parent should ever have to face.

This Mother’s day we recognise the courageous act of caregiving mothers do to protect childhoods.
