Children, especially girls, face harrowing challenges and violence migrating through Mexico in search of safety. Lindsey Hutchison is at the country’s northern border, in Ciudad Juarez, sharing more about Plan International's programmes that support children and families.

As of this morning, 12 of our trucks have crossed the border into #Gaza through the Egyptian humanitarian corridor, reaching children and families with lifesaving food, dignity and hygiene kits.

“It is not remotely humanitarian” - Plan International fully rejects plans for a camp in #Gaza. The forcible transfer of a population is illegal. We need a #CeasefireNOW, not a detention camp. plan-international.org/news/2025/07/1…

Today'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. Children must have the chance to live without sirens and bombs. plan-international.org/news/2025/04/2…

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/2025/04/1…

The conflict in #Sudan has been described as “the largest and the most devastating humanitarian crisis in the world”. We call on all parties to prevent & immediately end attacks against children & civilians and to respect #IHL. See 👇🏾 for more on what life is like in an IDP camp

We condemn all grave violations against children in conflict: killing and maiming, recruitment, abductions, sexual violence, attacks against schools and hospitals, and denial of humanitarian access. Children must be better protected, supported, and have access to aid #Sudan

Everyone is destined for a place where there is no separation. These were the words of, Fatima Hassouna, who once said: “Regarding the inevitable reality of death, if I am to die, I want a resounding death. I don’t want to be just breaking news, nor a number in a list. I want a death the world will hear about, an impact that will endure, and images that time and space cannot bury.” This morning, Fatima was killed, by an Israeli air strike along with several members of her family.

We're horrified by reports that 24 year old photojournalist Fatima Hassouneh, from #Gaza, was killed with her family in an Israeli airstrike this morning. Her fearless storytelling & unwavering courage in the face of conflict has inspired us all plan-international.org/news/2025/04/1…

They died while helping others. In 2024, a record 356 humanitarians were killed. How many more will it take before we act? Demand respect for International Humanitarian Law. Demand protection. Demand accountability. Humanitarians are #NotATarget @UNOCHA

With the @ICVAnetwork of humanitarians, we welcome the #ceasefire agreement and call for full adherence. Unhindered humanitarian access, protection of civilians, accountability & justice and a commitment to lasting peace are critical. plan-international.org/news/2025/01/2…

Colombian civilians are fleeing armed conflict in the Catatumbo region in the thousands to Cúcuta, a city on the #Colombia-Venezuela border and other parts of Norte de Santander department. This massive displacement is a worsening #humanitarian crisis. theguardian.com/world/2025/jan…

Over 17,000 children killed. #Gaza

"This is long overdue for the children and families of Gaza who have endured more than a year of bombardment and deprivation, and for the hostages in Gaza and their families in Israel who have suffered so much." @unicefchief on announcement of ceasefire: unicef.org/press-releases…

From @Tjada @mercycorps: Agreement offers a long-awaited glimmer of hope to millions of Palestinians who have endured over 15 mths of devastating conflict, but appalling suffering will persist unless there is an urgent & sustained scale-up [of aid] mercycorps.org/press-room/rel…

From our colleagues at @CAREGlobal: A sustained ceasefire remains the only way to protect civilians and provide some relief in the face of unrelenting bombardment and siege imposed by Israeli authorities for more than a year. #Gaza #CeasefireNOW care.org/media-and-pres…

We welcome reports of the ceasefire agreement in #Gaza, bringing a moment of hope to children and families who have endured unimaginable loss. We renew our call for immediate and unhindered humanitarian access to all areas of Gaza. #CeasefireNOW plan-international.org/news/2025/01/1…

120 civilians killed in indiscriminate shelling in #Sudan. Plan International strongly condemns any indiscriminate attacks and calls on all actors to respect International Humanitarian Law. Children’s lives must be protected at all times.

Most of Israel’s bombs and technology come from the U.S. All of Israel's fighter jets come from America, says Josh Paul, a former director in the State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs. cbsn.ws/40gIpIa
