Following the #ceasefire, as thousands of Palestinians check on their houses in North Gaza, our colleague Nahed's family was able to see what was left of her home. What they found wasn’t a home anymore. We call on Israeli authorities to urgently speed up the delivery of aid into #Gaza.

Thank you Alice MacDonald for taking CARE's call to the heart of Westminster. We need to support women leaders in conflict & crisis. Setting a target focused on gender equality spend within the UK aid budget is a logical first step in getting women & girls the support they need #SupportWomenLeaders

Thank you so much Alice Macdonald for raising this important question on how UK aid can prioritise #genderequality. While we agree with Minister Dodds that effective mainstreaming is needed, we also need aid targeted specifically at gender equality. We're asking for a target of at least 20%.

Dear UK Government, all we want for Christmas is a #CeasefireNOW for Gaza. We asked for the same thing last Christmas and we’ve been demanding it for over a year. Please don't let 2025 look the same as 2024. Ceasefire now. #Gaza #Ceasefire #Christmas

Over 300M people face life-threatening needs in 2025 says #UNOCHA - largely driven by war&climate change. Cuts in humanitarian aid funding are leading to longer&more severe crises, with women&girls suffering disproportionate impacts. It's time for world leaders to step up with action not excuses.

CARE International UK welcomes the announcement of a ceasefire in Lebanon. But world leaders must demonstrate as much resolve as they have shown today to end the suffering of Palestinians. We call on the UK Government to immediately stop all arms sales to Israel until a ceasefire in Gaza is agreed.
