Gaza crisis - emergency aid for children
UNICEF and partners are on the ground in Gaza, delivering humanitarian assistance
As the ceasefire ends, children’s lives are in immediate danger. The children of Gaza need our help more than ever. Please, donate now.
UNICEF and partners have delivered aid through 1,300 trucks, with 700 more on the way to support children and families in need.
The children and families of Gaza cannot wait. After 15 months of relentless conflict, humanitarian needs are urgent. We need your support.
UN agencies are mobilizing supplies and resources to scale up aid in Gaza, where the entire population faces displacement, trauma, destruction, and hunger.
Nearly 2 million people lack food. Water production is below 25% of capacity. Less than half of the hospitals are functional, and 95% of school buildings are damaged or destroyed.
Our priorities:
- Treating malnutrition in children and pregnant women, with preventive measures for the youngest.
- Expanding hospital capacity, especially neonatal wards.
- Restoring water systems and delivering drinking water and hygiene supplies.
- Providing child protection and psychosocial support.
- Supporting education recovery at a later stage.
“Today, Gaza’s one million children – who have endured more than 15 months of war – have been plunged back into a world of fear and death. The attacks and the violence must stop – now. We urge all parties to immediately reinstate the ceasefire, and we call on countries with influence to use their leverage to ensure the situation does not further deteriorate. International humanitarian law must be respected by all parties, allowing the immediate provision of humanitarian aid, the protection of civilians, and the release of all hostages.”
