In 2024, Gaza became the deadliest place on earth to be a child.
Right now, 2.38 million Palestinian children are living under blockade and the Government of Israel’s unlawful occupation. Every child has the right to live in safety, with dignity and hope. Every name is a child. Every child is a life.
While the world watches one of the most urgent and devastating crises of our time, violence continues in the Occupied Palestinian Territory – and hope fades for millions of children.
That’s why this September, Amnesty International and Save the Children are coming together in a global campaign to say: Let the Children Live.
Every person who signs up will be given the first name and age of a living child, like Samira (9) or Omar (6) — and will be asked to carry that name proudly on social media, in the streets and soon at rallies during the Global Day of Action on 14 September, when we will raise our voices to protect Palestinian children.
This mobilisation comes just days before the UN General Assembly’s 18 September deadline for the Government of Israel to end its occupation, which the International Court of Justice has ruled unlawful. By registering now, you’ll be the first to receive full details about the rallies on 14 September and how to take part.
Let’s show the world that these children are not numbers.
They have names.
They have rights.
They deserve to live in peace.
We refuse to let these children become statistics. We carry their names, say them out loud, and demand protection, justice, and an end to the violence.
This campaign is a global call to solidarity, to protect the rights of Palestinian children still living – as well as to mourn those who have been killed. The world cannot look away.
Thank you for standing with them and demanding we Let Children Live.
Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 10 million people who take injustice personally. We are campaigning for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all – and we can only do it with your support.
