Rachel Cummings

Rachel Cummings is a representative of Save the Children who has been actively speaking out about the dire situation in Gaza, particularly concerning the impact of the ongoing conflict on children's education and well-being. She highlights the urgent need for temporary schools and support for vulnerable children, as approximately 650,000 children in Gaza are currently affected by the lack of formal schooling since the outbreak of war in October 2023. Cummings emphasizes the desperate circumstances in which families are living, with many children going without shoes and basic necessities, while advocating for the reconstruction of infrastructure and access to essential services.
