Leading humanitarian and girls’ rights organisation, Plan International Australia has today welcomed Hollywood actress and activist Phoebe Tonkin as a national ambassador.
Plan International condemns this morning’s attacks by the Russian military across Ukraine including on the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Kyiv.
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.
Girls displaced by the war in Ukraine face severe educational disruption and mental health challenges. A new report, Adolescent Girls in Crisis: Voices from Ukraine, Poland and Romania, published by Plan International, highlights the harsh realities faced by adolescent girls and youth (aged 10-19) caught in the crossfire.
As Israeli attacks intensify on Rafah, the unpredictable trickle of aid into Gaza has created a mirage of improved access while the humanitarian response is in reality on the verge of collapse, warn 20 aid agencies.
With aid and development funding at an all-time low, and need at an all-time high, this year’s development budget is a missed opportunity, and failing the Australian Government’s regional leadership ambitions, commitments and accountability.
A military invasion of Rafah, as announced by Israel this week, can only be a humanitarian catastrophe, leading to horrific loss of life. Humanitarian aid and fuel have now been completely blocked from entering through the Rafah crossing, a crucuial aid corridor, since Sunday May 5. This is unacceptable and will lead to even more suffering.
As the people of Gaza face relentless bombardment, death, and destruction on an unprecedented scale, Australian organisations including Plan International Australia, Oxfam Australia, Save the Children, ActionAid, Amnesty International, Muslim Aid Australia, APHEDA-UnionAid Abroad, Australian Palestinian Advocacy Network (APAN), the Australian Council for International Development, Australian Council for International Development and Trade Unionists for Palestine are supporting the global call for an end to the transfer of arms to Israel.
