On October 10, 2025, a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into effect, based on a 20-point plan announced by President Trump.
 
But in the first 300 days, at least 300 children in Gaza were killed.
 
Today in Gaza, there is no ceasefire.

Today in Gaza, the Israeli genocide continues.
 
Stop the genocide
End the sham Board of Peace.

Take action to bring humanitarian and reconstruction aid to Gaza.
