3 years on, children in Gaza still aren't safe
Stand with us. Stay with them. Your support is needed. Donate today.
Nationwide
For three years, children in Gaza have suffered relentless conflict, deprivation and displacement. Children are suffering from severe malnutrition, lack of access to healthcare, clean water, sanitation and other essential services. Despite the ceasefire, on average one child is killed every day. 4 in 5 people are living in make-shift tents or crowded displacement sites.
A ceasefire that leaves an average of one child reportedly killed every day, while families lack reliable access to food, clean water, healthcare and humanitarian assistance, is failing children. Right now, nearly 1 million children need humanitarian aid for their survival, protection and wellbeing.
Amidst the ongoing challenges, the UNICEF team in Gaza continues to deliver critical supplies and services for children and their families. With your generous help, we can do more and reach further.
Is Aid Getting Into Gaza?
Despite the challenging circumstances the UNICEF team in Gaza continues to deliver critical services: treating acute malnutrition, restoring water infrastructure, supporting hospitals, reuniting separated children with their families, and vaccinating hundreds of thousands against deadly diseases.
Children continue to need our support, and with your help UNICEF is taking any and all opportunities to reach them.

Latest update
FAMINE CONFIRMED IN GAZA 23 August 2025
On 22nd August, for the first time, famine has been confirmed in Gaza. More than 500,000 children and their families are trapped in conditions marked by widespread starvation, destitution and preventable deaths.
The deteriorating conditions in Gaza have reached famine thresholds, according to a new IPC alert. This is the first time a famine has been officially confirmed in the Middle East.
Almost two years of conflict, repeated displacement, and severe restrictions on humanitarian access, compounded by repeated interruptions and impediments to food access, water, medical aid and the collapse of health, sanitation, and market systems, have pushed people into starvation.
UNICEF is calling for an immediate ceasefire and safe, sustained humanitarian access to deliver prepositioned therapeutic food and save children's lives.
