Children in Gaza need urgent humanitarian aid

Thousands of children have been displaced, injured, killed or have been caught in the fighting that has engulfed Gaza and Israel. Children on both sides continue to pay the highest price for the violence. 

The rights of every single child, no matter who or where they are, must be protected. UNICEF calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, and unimpeded humanitarian access in Gaza, along with the safe release of all abducted children. 

The hostilities have left up to 1.9 million people displaced in the Gaza Strip. Access to water, food and medicine are limited. Hunger and disease — including the resurgence of polio — threaten children’s lives. As winter weather sets in, children and families already grappling with loss and displacement will also have to face strong winds, falling temperatures and heavy rains without adequate shelter or warmth.  

Despite the challenging security situation, UNICEF deliveries of life-saving supplies are entering Gaza. With your donation, we can continue providing essential support and services to children and families who need it most.
