Catherine Russell Tweets about Darfur and Gaza over the past 24 hours

On North Darfur

Fighting continues to escalate in Sudan's North Darfur with at least 15 more children reportedly killed. Over the past week, more than 330,000 people have fled Zamzam camp.No place is safe. Hostilities must end immediately to protect civilians and allow the delivery of aid.

On Gaza

The last 24 hours were deadly for children in Gaza. Airstrikes on tents in Gaza reportedly killed 15 children, including a child with disabilities who burned to death. Images of children burning while sheltering in makeshift tents should shake us all to our core.

Since the ceasefire broke on 18 March, nearly 600 children in Gaza have reportedly been killed and over 1,600 injured. All parties to this conflict must respect international humanitarian law. Protect civilians. Facilitate aid. Release hostages. Renew a ceasefire.
