Save The Children UK today issued an urgent appeal to the UK government, calling for the immediate suspension of all arms sales to Israel.
The charity cited the “clear risk” that these weapons could be used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law.
The call comes after an Israeli air strike killed six children, including a group of ten-year-old quadruplets and their mother.
The organisation expressed deep sorrow and frustration over the ongoing violence, particularly its devastating impact on Palestinian children.
“We’re absolutely heartbroken to see that six children – including a group of ten-year-old quadruplets, and their mother – are the latest victims of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza,” Save The Children UK said on X.

A Health Ministry statement said that some 93,144 others have been injured in the ongoing assault.
