Thank You!

Thank you: that is the message we want to give to our donors. Support from people like you has helped save the lives of thousands of children and has helped avert a full-scale famine in Gaza. It has also provided mental health support to over 18,000 traumatised children in Ukraine.

In Sudan and Syria too, generosity from people like you helped provide vital aid like food, water, warm clothes and medical supplies to vulnerable children when they needed it most.

But the need is still urgent. We cannot do this without the continued support of people like you.

In Ukraine children are suffering from trauma, in Sudan they are starving to death, and in Gaza they are threatened by disease, bombs and hunger. With your support, we can give children the promise of a brighter, safer future.

Your help is getting to Gaza

Delivering aid into Gaza is a dangerous and difficult task. There are days when no aid can get through at all. But despite the huge challenges, our teams never give up.

In April, a critical aid delivery to the north had to be abandoned after a vehicle carrying UNICEF Spokesperson Tess Ingram came under fire. Our team were lucky to escape with their lives. But they didn’t give up on children. Just a few days later, they tried again and this time they were able to reach children with life-saving help. Tess Ingram said:

“We will keep
delivering as many supplies as
we can.”

Thanks to the generosity of people like you our teams have delivered over 18,000 pallets of life-saving supplies to children and their families in Gaza since last October. This wouldn’t be possible without the dedicated support of people like you and the courage and commitment of our staff on the ground.

Children still need your help

Support from people like you helped deliver vital food, fortified milk and biscuits, directly to children in terrible danger in Gaza.

Thanks to incredible generosity like yours, six-month-old Shaam is now getting the emergency treatment she needs to recover from malnutrition.

But she still needs your support. Her mother was badly injured in a bomb blast while she was pregnant. Shaam's home, like those of thousands of children, is just a tent. For as long as Shaam and other children need us, we’ll never give up. Thank you for being right there with us for every child.
