Donate for hot meals for Gaza’s children: RPI and Kids Paradise need your support for community volunteer Malak, a young woman displaced from Gaza city to Rafah, who is cooking and distributing hot meals to Rafah's internally displaced children. We must do more. 13,450 children and 9,000 women have lost their lives in Gaza, making the pain on both sides of this conflict unbearable. Please donate and continue calling for a ceasefire and release of all hostages. Together we can bring back hope and humanity. Your friends at RefugeeProtection.org

The horrific attacks on Oct 7th and the collective punishment of Gaza are by definition inhumane. Just as there is no justification to abduct children and gang rape women, there is no justification for the indiscriminate bombardment and siege of Gaza and for the absolute failure to protect civilians. RPI calls for an urgent humanitarian ceasefire to allow aid agencies to assist civilians and for all parties to the war to protect civilians in line with International Humanitarian Law.

Protecting Gaza’s children and returning Israeli hostages must be prioritized. Justice for the women reportedly and inexplicably mutilated on Oct. 7th must be had in court; not at the expense of children’s lives. 40% of people killed in Gaza may be children and some two-thirds women and children (UN). To protect civilians in Israel and Gaza, we need an end to immoral war tactics that fuel vengeance and an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
