CHILDREN IN GAZA
HAVE NOWHERE SAFE
LEFT TO GO

Life in Gaza is hell on earth right now. Children are being killed by bombs, bullets and disease. They’re enduring horrific injuries and surviving amidst rubble. With aid restricted, over a million children are at high risk of famine. Amidst extremely challenging conditions, our staff and partners are supporting the most vulnerable children and families in Gaza and continue to call for a definitive ceasefire. Now the looming risk of a polio outbreak and urgent need to vaccinate children in Gaza makes this more urgent than ever.

New displacement orders issued by Israeli authorities have forced another mass movement of families and humanitarian workers from areas in Deir al-Balah - one of the only remaining areas in the occupied Gaza Strip with essential infrastructure and warehouses storing aid supplies. Many Palestinian families, already forcibly displaced countless times since October, are on the move yet again, including humanitarian workers critical to providing the limited aid response that is still possible.

1 in 6 children lives in a conflict zone. And every year, hundreds of thousands of children die from the effects of war – such as violence, malnutrition, disease and cut off access to health care and water. Donate today and help us be there for children living in crisis in Gaza and across the world. 

With your support, we’ve helped more than 377,400 people across the region, including more than 323,200 people in Gaza, over the past six months. Together with our partners, we have:

1. Provided 7,900 food baskets, helping more than 50,000 people.
2. Distributed 93,000 water bottles with 600,000 litres of clean drinking water.
3. Distributed 1,416 shelter kits with tarpaulin and ropes, and 3,050 bedding kits with mattresses and warm blankets.
4. Distributed 60,000 hygiene and menstrual kits, and 200 baby kits with essentials like nappies.
5. Distributed around 1,910 recreational kits with toys and games.
6. Supported over 50,000 families with cash assistance – we are one of the largest providers of cash in Gaza.
7. Provided 1,000 first aid kits and conducted hygiene awareness sessions for families.
8. Delivered more than 170 assistive devices to support children with disabilities and injuries.
9. Provided psychosocial support for more than 11,000 children in 13 shelters in northern Gaza.

Apart from Gaza, we're also helping in the West Bank, where we've supported families facing increased settler violence by providing emergency cash and running child protection activities. In Egypt, we've ensured access to essential supplies, supported medical evacuees from Gaza, and trained first responders. In Lebanon, we've assisted displaced individuals by providing clean water, food, hygiene products, and mental health support. 

1 in 6 children lives in a conflict zone, and there is no end in sight. Across the globe, children are facing starvation, poverty, fear, and the loss of healthcare and education. For children in Gaza, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, and around the world, surviving is just the beginning. They urgently need your help to piece their lives back together.

Through our work in 113 countries, we put the most deprived and marginalised children first, helping them survive, learn and reach their full potential. These efforts rely on your support. By donating today to Save the Children, you can help children get the food, medicine, and education they need to give them a chance of a future they deserve.
