Nurses and midwives are encouraged to join a global campaign calling for urgent action to protect the lives of Palestinian Children in the occupied territories.
The Let Children Live campaign led by Save the Children and Amnesty International is calling for urgent action to protect the lives and rights of 2.38 million Palestinian children living under Israel’s unlawful occupation and blockade.
Of the 2.38 million Palestinian children alive, the Palestinian authorities have provided Amnesty International and Save the Children International with 1.2 million names.
The aim of Let Children Live is to have each name carried and honoured by someone across the world, amplifying the call to protect children’s lives and futures.
