Plan International EU Office strives to advance children’s rights and equality for girls in the EU’s external action.
@planeu.bsky.socialToday marks 3 years since the 7 October 2023 attacks in Israel and the escalation of violence that followed, devastating lives across Gaza, the West Bank and Israel. We urge the EU to uphold and promote respect for International Humanitarian Law & ensure the safety of children wherever they are.

@planglobal.bsky.socialReposted by @planeu.bsky.socialIn a single week in late August, at least four children in #Gaza were killed and many more were injured. That week was not an exception. Around 300 children have been killed in Gaza in the 11 months since a ceasefire was announced. Children and civilian infrastructure must never be attacked.
@planeu.bsky.social🔵Today, 273M children are out of school, while 234M crisis-affected children need educational support. On the International Day to Protect Education from Attack, we call on decision-makers to strengthen the right of children to learn safely, even in the midst of crisis.
@planeu.bsky.socialThe death toll from Nepal's devastating floods continues to rise, with thousands still missing. The urgent need for sustained humanitarian funding is clear.
As negotiations on the EU's next #MFF continue, support for communities affected by climate shocks must not be overlooked.
