Save the Children places full-page advertisements in British newspapers on Wednesday listing the names of 373 Palestinian children killed in Israel’s offensive on Gaza, as part of the charity’s campaign for a permanent ceasefire.
The black-and-white ad in broadsheet newspapers carries the names of the children that the Palestinian Ministry of Health and United Nations (OCHA) have reported to have died between July 8 and August 3.
Readers are invited to send text messages as part of the campaign to force a permanent ceasefire “for the children of Gaza and Israel.”
Save the Children’s David Hassell says: “For the sake of children and their families, we are hoping that this ceasefire holds.
“It is desperately needed, as essential services in Gaza have all but collapsed and we are struggling to reach the most vulnerable children caught in this conflict.”
The London Times recently rejected a full-page featuring Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel speaking out against what the ad says is Hamas’s use of children as human shields.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
