Gaza Crisis - children still need our help
Stand with us. Stay with them. Your support is needed. Donate today.
Nationwide
For more than two years, children in Gaza have suffered relentless conflict, deprivation and displacement. Over the last few months during a fragile ceasefire, the humanitarian situation has gotten better - but more aid is needed.
The need in Gaza remains immense, particularly as winter bites.
Alongside our partners, UNICEF has reached more than 1.6 million people with clean drinking water, and provided blankets and winter clothes to 700,000 people. Yet, with winter gripping Gaza and temperatures dropping, additional supplies are needed to support more than 1.9 million displaced people sheltering in tents and bombed out buildings.
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.
