After 15 months of relentless war, a pause in hostilities offers Gaza’s children a glimmer of hope. For the thousands of children who lost their lives, it’s too late, but for over a million others facing hunger and loss, it’s a chance to survive and rebuild.
However, the nightmare isn’t over for children.
Children in Gaza are cut off from the basics they need to survive, and over 1.7 million people have been displaced. There is no clean water, leaving children at risk of dying from severe dehydration and disease.
With this pause in hostilities, our focus shifts urgently to ensuring that aid can flow freely and rapidly. Children in Gaza are still battling hunger, malnutrition, and disease. We are scaling up our response to meet the immediate needs of displaced families while working toward long-term recovery.
Children’s lives and futures are still at risk – we urgently need your support to protect them. Please donate today.
DONATE NOW TO OUR GAZA EMERGENCY APPEAL
Save the Children has been working tirelessly for over a year to support the most vulnerable children and families in Gaza. Despite immense challenges, we are:
- Providing life-saving aid: Delivering food, clean water, medical supplies, and hygiene products to families in need.
- Safe places and health services: Establishing Child Friendly Spaces, temporary learning centres, and mobile health services to support families as they return to destroyed communities.
- Advocating for peace: calling on the international community to ensure a lasting ceasefire, unimpeded humanitarian access, and accountability for violations of children’s rights.
We urgently need your support to provide the essentials children and families need to survive and help them recover.
PLEASE DONATE NOW
All children have the right to a life free from violence and to live in peace. While Save the Children welcomes this pause in hostilities, all parties to the pause must fully respect and implement all their commitments under this agreement and their obligations under international law to end the suffering of children and their families through a lasting ceasefire.
