UNICEF’s Road to Recovery directs donations to Gaza for the first six months, providing updates on the impact for children in Gaza. After six months, your monthly gift will continue, and will go to where it’s needed most, helping children in crises around the world.

Join us on this journey
and be the lifeline children in Gaza so desperately need.

Right now, Gaza is the most dangerous place in the world to be a child. Months of fear and brutal violence have destroyed the lives of more than 1.1 million children. The situation on the ground is unimaginable. It is a living hell.

The dreams of thousands of children have been left buried beneath the rubble of their homes. ​Along with their toys. Their limbs. Their parents.

Today, you can be the lifeline children in Gaza so desperately need and help them on their road to recovery by giving monthly.

When you sign-up to Gaza’s Road to Recovery, your monthly donation will help deliver the food and water they desperately need to survive and, when the bombs stop falling, you’ll be there to help rebuild and repair.

We don’t know how long this war will last. We don’t know how many more children will suffer. But what we do know is that UNICEF will stay and deliver vital aid to children no matter what.

Children in Gaza are suffering the unimaginable

The Gaza Strip is on the brink of famine. Food is in critically short supply and hundreds of thousands of children are now suffering from malnutrition. Dirty and contaminated water has also left children dangerously ill from water-borne diseases like diarrhoea. 

In addition, 1 million children in Gaza are now forced to live in freezing tents and shattered buildings with no protection from the elements. Their tired, frail bodies, already weak from hunger, cannot keep fighting for much longer.   

Humanitarian deliveries of food, clean water, blankets and winter clothing are the only way these children can survive. Without it, they will die. Children’s lives are hanging by a thread. They desperately need your help. Right now your monthly donation can help send more emergency aid to Gaza. 

The region is teetering on the brink of a deadly humanitarian disaster.

Will you help children survive this crisis?

Shaima, aged 8, stands crushed up against a steel bar waiting to receive a meal. Every day, she waits for 2 hours in the hope of bringing food back to her family. “I’ve been waiting here for two hours, but I haven’t gotten any food. My mother and my little sister are waiting for me. They haven’t eaten since yesterday.”

Why your monthly donation matters

Life-saving food:

Over 90% of Gaza’s 2.3 million people suffer from malnutrition due to weeks of restricted food access, leading to severe hunger and fears of famine. With just €10 a month, you can provide enough peanut paste to save the lives of 12 malnourished children each year.

Clean water and sanitation:​

95% of Gaza’s water is contaminated , endangering children’s lives. Your monthly donation can support water desalination plants, provide clean water, and vital aid to prevent children from drinking unsafe water.

Psycho-social support:

Today, every child in Gaza has been exposed to deeply distressing events and trauma , marked by widespread destruction and displacement.  Your support can help provide pyscho-social support and therapy to children left scarred from conflict.
