Israel’s expansion of military violence in Gaza is an atrocity

2nd April 2025

Responding to the news that Israel intends to expand military operations in Gaza, Kathleen Spencer Chapman, Director of Influencing and External Affairs at Plan International UK said:  

"We utterly condemn Israel’s intention to expand its military violence in Gaza. These are ruthless acts of aggression against a starving and traumatised population. The people of Gaza have no shelter, no means of protecting themselves, and Israel’s illegal blockade has left medics without the supplies they need to treat the wounded. This isn’t war. This is an atrocity.

“World leaders must put a stop to this horror. The ceasefire must be reinstated and aid allowed back into Gaza. Children and their families are in desperate need of food, water, medical supplies, and shelter. Without the urgent influx of humanitarian aid promised by the ceasefire, thousands more could die from hunger and related diseases alone."
