Story
Months of unrelenting fighting and deprivation in Gaza have left thousands of children dead, while those who survive face continued war, siege, hunger and unimaginable loss.
Gaza’s children desperately need a lasting ceasefire to stop the violence. But they also need your continued support: please donate to Save the Children's Emergency Fund.
Save the Children has already supplied essentials into Gaza, but the lack of food, water, and medicine is making survival nearly impossible: nearly all children in Gaza are at imminent risk of famine. And after over four months of siege and bombing, children's mental health in Gaza is being pushed beyond breaking point.
What Save the Children are doing:
- distributing more essential supplies, such as water, food, toiletries, cooking utensils, and other household essentials
- delivering further Mental Health and Psychosocial Support services for children and caregivers
- setting up child friendly spaces so children have a safe space to play and recover
- distributing warm clothes and blankets, as well as more cash and vouchers so families can buy food, medicines and any other essentials.
- providing fuel and water infrastructure for hospitals and distributing water storage tanks
- ensuring children continue to have access to education, by setting up temporary learning spaces and repairing damaged schools
- identifying the most at-risk children for referrals to protection related services
- deploying our Emergency Health Unit and procuring essential medical equipment
