Turn your outrage into action for Gaza

The children and families of the occupied Palestinian territory need urgent support  

It’s easy to feel outraged by the horrifying news coming out of Gaza each and every day. Bombardment, blocked aid and the obliteration of the health system have rendered the region one of the worst places in the world to be a child. But children and families in Gaza don’t need your outrage, they need you to take action right now. 

Hear from our CEO Mat Tinkler on the importance of speaking up for Palestinian children and families in the video below. 

We urge you to email your member of parliament with three simple asks:

1. An urgent and definitive ceasefire
2. Australia to cease all military cooperation and halt defence exports with the Government of Israel
3. Advocate for all warring parties to adhere to international humanitarian law.

Adhering to international humanitarian law is critical to protecting the lives of children. This includes the release of all hostages and the free flow of aid into Gaza. 

To make this action simple, we have provided an email template below. Simply fill in the underlined information and send it to your local Member of Parliament to take action for the children and families in Gaza today. 

It might feel like you are unable to influence the conditions in Gaza or the actions of our government, but you can. Make your voice heard, because the Australian government can influence this outcome and they must. 

Please consider taking this action if you can, or making a donation to Save the Children to help our teams on the ground do their life saving work.
