Children of Gaza Crisis

  • One year of conflict and resilience in Gaza

      27 September 2024

    It's been almost one year since the escalation of conflict in Gaza. Children have suffered through unimaginable horrors. Fighting and bombing has reduced their homes, schools, communities and dreams to rubble. Yet amidst the destruction, the strength and resilience of children has shone through.

    However, as the humanitarian crisis deepens, we need your help to keep Gazan children and their dreams alive.

    While the world watches on, you can act by supporting kids in Gaza. Your donation will bring rapid relief to displaced families and help children in desperate need of the essentials, such as clean water, food and medical care.

    As this conflict in Gaza enters its second year, the needs are only growing more urgent. By acting today, we can bring hope and healing to kids who’ve lost so much already.

    Please support our ongoing response by making your donation today.

  • A child is killed or injured every 10 minutes in Gaza.

      19 June 2024

    "Images of burned children and families emerging from bombed tents in Rafah shocks us all. The reported killing of children sheltering in makeshift tents is unconscionable. For over seven months, we've witnessed this tragedy unfold, resulting in thousands of children killed or injured. There must be an immediate ceasefire, the unconditional release of all the hostages and an end to the senseless killing of children," Catherine Russell, UNICEF Executive Director.

    There is no other option for the children of Gaza except a ceasefire!

    Amid blocked aid routes, hostilities and logistical difficulties, UNICEF is on the ground continuing to do everything to help kids and their families in Rafah and the broader Gaza Strip.

    The violence must end, the hostages must be released, and children must be protected at all costs.

    Until then, please support us in ramping up supplies for the kids and their families in Gaza. The need is immense thus, we've decided to extend the duration of this appeal.

    Thank you all for your support.

  • Famine in Gaza imminent

      3 April 2024

    The entire population, including more than 1 million children, are facing high or catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity. Virtually all households are skipping meals, with parents going without so their children can eat.

    UNICEF is in Gaza providing life-saving humanitarian support to those most in need. However, more support is urgently needed with famine imminent and every child in Gaza at risk of malnutrition.
