North Darfur’s Zamzam camp, which is currently home to half a million Sudanese people who have been forced to flee fighting, has come under intense attack, killing and injuring civilians.
The new deal on climate finance – agreed over the weekend at the annual UN Climate Change Conference, or COP29 – is staggeringly disappointing, falling well short of what is needed to tackle the climate crisis, according to global humanitarian and girls’ rights organisation Plan International Australia.
The international community must urgently pressure Israel into reversing this dangerous decision by Israel’s Knesset. Gaza is already facing a man-made hunger emergency, with a real risk of famine NOW. Children are dying daily of starvation, dehydration, and related diseases. Banning UNRWA, the main organisation responsible for delivering humanitarian aid is unthinkable, and can only lead to more death and suffering.
Today marks a year since the October 7 attack on Israel and a year of retaliatory military strikes on Gaza and the West Bank. As a humanitarian organisation which advocates for children’s rights around the world, we are heartbroken by the horrific violence that has engulfed Gaza, Israel, the West Bank and Lebanon since October 2023. Every day that passes without a permanent ceasefire means more children will be killed. Those who survive are constantly being exposed to highly traumatic events which will leave mental and physical scars for years to come. All children have the right to grow up without fear of violence yet all too often, in conflict and war, children pay the highest price.
Girls rights and humanitarian organisation Plan International Australia condemns and is appalled by the new “vice and virtue” laws introduced by the Taliban this week, which have barred women from speaking, singing, reciting words aloud or showing their faces in public.

Responding to the UN-backed IPC’s latest report* on hunger in Sudan, Mohammed Qazilbash, Country Director for Plan International Sudan said:
“Today’s IPC report has confirmed what we have feared for months now – that famine is imminent in multiple areas of Sudan. Children are already dying of starvation, and we are now in a race against time to avert a full-blown famine.
