Nationwide

For two years, children in Gaza have suffered relentless conflict, deprivation and displacement. With the announcement of a ceasefire, there's growing hope that it will bring about lasting peace for families who've suffered so much.

The need in Gaza has never been greater.

UNICEF is poised and ready with 1,300 trucks stationed around Gaza — packed with tents, nutrition items, essential medicines and vaccines, learning and recreation kits, and water and sanitation supplies and other life-saving essentials for desperate children and families.

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.

In July and August, a total of 340 trucks laden with emergency aid, including nutritional support, medicines and WASH supplies, arrived in Gaza. This however, is just a fraction of what’s needed to support more than 2 million people and reverse the famine catastrophe that’s unfolding before the world’s eyes.

We're currently poised with more than 1,300 trucks stationed around the Gaza Strip ready to bring in tents, food and medical supplies to help alleviate the suffering of children and their families.

Children continue to need our support, and with your help UNICEF is taking any and all opportunities to reach them.

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.
