The resumption of hostilities in Gaza is nothing short of a death sentence for children. Dozens of children are reported to be among the victims of recent Israeli airstrikes.

Gaza’s children are being bombed in their tents and make-shift shelters as the inescapable living nightmare continues in Gaza. This massacre comes after they’ve been cut off from essential and much needed food and aid, compounding already decimated conditions for their survival after months of war and aid restrictions by Israeli authorities. We urgently need international action to protect children and families now.

The violence hasn’t stopped. The fear hasn’t lifted. Children's lives are once again hanging in the balance. They are still being killed, displaced, and denied food, medicine, and urgent healthcare. 13-year-old Solave was severely injured by a bomb and her leg was amputated. Six-year-old Mariam is struggling to access water, food and clothing. The level of suffering is indescribable. But there are reasons for hope – and one of them is you.

Denying humanitarian aid is a crime under international law and a grave violation against children. The international community must act now to ensure that international humanitarian law in Gaza and human rights law in the West Bank is followed. A definitive ceasefire remains the only way to ensure children are protected from further bodily and mental harm.

Donate monthly and help us be there for children living in crisis in Gaza and across the world. 

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, Sudan, 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 monthly 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.

Save the Children has been supporting Palestinian children since 1953 and has maintained a permanent presence in the occupied Palestinian territory since 1973. Our response has significantly scaled up since October 2023, leveraging our existing footprint, technical expertise, and partnerships to address the evolving humanitarian crisis. 

As of 11 February 2025, Save the Children and its partners have reached more than 1.2 million people across the occupied Palestinian territory, including over 1.1 million people in Gaza. 

Amidst extremely challenging conditions, we’ve been working around the clock to find ways to deliver aid to children. Despite immense challenges, we are:

1. Providing lifesaving aid: Delivering food, clean water, medical supplies, and hygiene products to families in need.
2. Safe places and health: Establishing child-friendly spaces, temporary learning centres, and mobile health services to support families as they return to destroyed communities.
3. Advocating for peace: Urging the international community to ensure a lasting ceasefire, unimpeded humanitarian access, and accountability for violations of children’s rights.

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.
