Children of Gaza Crisis Appeal

Right now the escalation of violence has taken a horrendous toll on the lives of children living in Gaza. Hundreds of children have been killed and injured, with these numbers expected to rise over the coming hours and days.

Death and devastation stalk the streets of Gaza, with homes, schools and hospitals destroyed, leaving more than 187,000 people newly displaced.

Children and families are running out of food, water, electricity, medicine and safe access to hospitals, following days of air strikes and cuts to all supply routes.

UNICEF is on the ground in Gaza working with partners to provide urgently required food, support, shelter, healthcare, sanitation, and protection to children under siege in Gaza.

Please donate now to send vital aid to Gaza and the wider state of Palestine.

UNICEF puts children first in emergencies.

UNICEF is calling for the immediate cessation of hostilities, and for all parties to unconditionally protect children from harm and afford them the special protection to which they are entitled, in accordance with their obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law. No place is safe for children while this intense fighting continues.
