Children of Gaza Crisis
Ceasefire in place, yet humanitarian crisis continues in Gaza. More aid is urgently needed.
For more than two and a half years, families in Gaza have suffered relentless conflict, deprivation and displacement. Children are suffering from severe malnutrition, lack of access to healthcare, clean water, sanitation and other essential services. Even with a ceasefire in place since October 2025, the situation remains precarious and the humanitarian crisis continues.
Please make a donation today to support children and families in Gaza.

Is Aid Getting Into Gaza?
Yes, aid is getting in. Though delivery remains highly challenging and severely restricted.
Working alongside our partners, UNICEF continues to move life-saving relief supplies, such as therapeutic food for malnourished children, vaccines, hygiene kits, and supplies to maintain water and sanitation facilities. We're also providing essential services, such as nutrition screening, reuniting children with their families, mental health support and temporary learning spaces.
In response to ongoing water shortages, UNICEF is trucking in safe water, reaching 1 million people (470,000 children) during the first 3 months of the year. In addition, our Back to Learning programme helped 195,000 children to access safe learning and healing spaces in early 2026.
Despite the ongoing challenges, the UNICEF team in Gaza continues to deliver critical supplies and services for children and their families. With your generous help, we can do more and reach further.
We cannot rest while the children of Gaza still need us. Donate today.
