Call to end the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza

October 17 2023 - SOS Children's Villages is appalled as a preventable, humanitarian catastrophe unfolds in Gaza, while the world watches. SOS Children’s Villages mourns the killing of several children, young people and families from our programmes in Israel and Palestine whose lives were cut short. As the death toll climbs, more and more children are tragically losing their parents and loved ones, if not their own lives. In a matter of days, thousands of children have been killed and injured in Gaza and Israel, and the numbers grow by the day.
