The protest notes aim to serve as a stark reminder of plight of children caught in crossfires of war
LAHORE – In observance of United Nations World Humanitarian Day on August 19, 2024, a powerful advocacy initiative led by two Pakistani children is set to make a significant impact. As part of the 16th anniversary of the day, the children will present the second phase of their unique protest notes, written with their blood, to international platforms, including the UN.
Titled ‘Humanitarian Eyes Needed to See the Ongoing Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza’ and ‘A Voice for the Voiceless’, the stirring and sensitising protest notes were started to be penned in blood by 10-year-old Ubaydah al Fiddhah Hafia and her 12-year-old brother Ghulam Bishar Hafi. The protest format adopted by the two children was conceived as an ignition for a clarion call, destined to create a chain of sequels aimed at knocking at the door of the collective conscience of the world and the global hierarchies, begging them to turn their heads and ears to the screams of the innocent children, who are becoming "the softest and easiest objects of prey" in wars or war-like situations.
"From the Occupied Palestinian Territory to Sudan to Myanmar and beyond, the first half of 2024 was characterised by attacks against health, education, and water and sanitation facilities that left millions of people without access to the services they need to survive," said the UN's Global Humanitarian Overview report of 2024.
“This failure of those in power cannot be allowed to continue. Attacks on humanitarian workers and humanitarian assets must stop. Attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure must stop. On this World Humanitarian Day, we demand an end to these violations and the impunity with which they are committed. It is time for those in power to end impunity and #ActForHumanity," says the UN.
