The Mansoura water filling point in northern #Gaza is currently the only operational truck filling point for the water supply line serving Gaza City. On Friday 17 April, 2 @UNICEF-contracted water truck drivers were killed there. Hundreds of thousands of people depend on it.[1/2]
At least 589 aid workers have been killed in Gaza since the escalation of conflict in October 2023 — a figure that does not yet include these two drivers. Humanitarian workers & civilian infrastructure must never be harmed. Unhindered humanitarian access must be guaranteed. [2/2]
The announcement of a 10-day ceasefire in #Lebanon must be more than temporary relief. Sustained peace, safe conditions for return & the support to rebuild peoples lives with dignity is urgently needed. For many, the fear of repeated displacement remains. plan-international.org/news/…
Plan International is alarmed by the scale of the attacks across #Ukraine over the past two days , which have resulted in civilian casualties, widespread destruction & further disruption to already vulnerable communities. Civilians must always be protected.plan-international.org/news/…
