65 children in Gaza and 2 in Israel have been killed.

We're calling for an immediate ceasefire.

What's happening?

Over 65 children in Gaza and two children in southern Israel have been killed in the recent 11-day escalations of violence.
More than a thousand people in Gaza have also been injured, including over 500 children
A ceasefire was recently called, but children still need urgent support to recover.
Houses have been turned into rubble, schools and hospitals damaged and thousands of families ripped apart and displaced.
Children have told us that they have been living in fear.

What are we asking for?

We're calling for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the decades-long occupation.
The international community must find a just solution that addresses the underlying causes of this escalation.
We're calling for the blockade on Gaza to be urgently lifted as children’s lives hang in the balance.
The Government of Israel and all parties must allow aid workers to reach children with life-saving support, as well as the unimpeded entry of essential supplies and fuel.

Save the Children is ready to support families through a range of vital programmes. This is going to be a long road back to recovery for many and the international community must come together to aid that recovery.
