NOBEL laureate Malala Yousufzai has called for immediate action, urging world leaders to put `maximum pressure` on the Israeli government and protect people in Gaza.

`It makes me sick to my stomach to see Israel`s cruelty and brutality in Gaza. I am heartbroken seeing thousands of starving children, demolished schools and hospitals, blocked humanitarian aid and displaced families,` the activist said in a post on X.

`Our collective humanity calls for global and immediate action. I call on every world leader to put maximum pressure on the Israeli government to end this genocide and protect civilians,` she added. She urged the international community to join her in supporting humanitarian organisations such as Anera, Inara, Kinder USA, Palestine Children`s Relief Fund, and the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, saying their `heroic workers are putting everything on the line to save lives`.
