There are only 200 of these archival pigment prints available, and all are signed and numbered by the artist.
Massive Attack's generous support for War Child has spanned over two decades, including contributing an alternative version of 'Karmacoma' to the iconic 'HELP' album in 1995, donating all proceeds from the 'Atlas Air' EP in 2005 as well as donating an original artwork proof of 'War Stories' to War Child's Coronavirus Appeal Crowdfunder last year.
The 'Help95' image was originally used in the sleeve notes for the 'HELP' album and has been reworked for this unique fire-sale.
All proceeds of the sale will go directly to support children in Gaza. With news of a ceasefire, War Child staff in Gaza can now rapidly scale up their response providing essential supplies and urgent psychological first aid to the thousands of children who have lost everything.
Rich Clarke, Head of War Child Records, said: “Massive Attack have been generous supporters of War Child for over a quarter of a century now, they are incredibly passionate about the causes they choose to help and we are extremely grateful to benefit from their support.
The original image Help95 was donated by Rob to support the children and families caught in the Balkan Civil war in 1995 and resonates 25 years later with the desperate situation in Gaza.
The money raised from the fire-sale will enable War Child to reach more children and give them the chance of a brighter future. We are extremely grateful to have Robert’s continued support to help us protect, educate and stand up for the rights of the children of Gaza.”

About War Child UK
War Child UK is the only specialist charity for children affected by conflict. For more than two decades we’ve been driven by a single goal – for no child’s life to be torn apart by war. We aim to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out and stay to support them through their recovery – keeping them safe, helping them learn and cope with their experiences, and equipping them with skills for the future.
We understand children’s needs, respect their rights, and put them at the centre of the solution and campaign for changes to policies and practices to support children in conflict, working with children and young people themselves to demand their rights.
Together with our partners we deliver our vital, life-saving work in 15 countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, and Latin America. In 2019 alone, we reached over 100,000 children.
