Gaza’s children are being bombed in their tents and make-shift shelters as their living nightmare continues. This massacre comes after they’ve been cut off from food and aid. 

Right now, children are dying from lack of food.  Nearly every child is at risk of famine.  We cannot sit by and let this continue.

C​hildren in Gaza are terrified; terrified they may be killed at any moment; terrified that they may not be able to find any more food or water to survive.

The suffering being inflicted on children in Gaza is unfathomable. In over 16 months of conflict, over 18,000 children have been killed in Gaza. Many more perished from hunger and disease.

In 2024, the occupied Palestinian territory, specifically Gaza, became the deadliest place on earth to be a child. During the first year of the war, life expectancy in Gaza dropped by nearly 35 years. It is now just 40.6 years old. In 2023, it was 75.5 years old.

Behind these appalling stats are the stories of individual children. They are buried under the rubble, cut off from their families, alone and afraid. The survivors face constant hunger and horrific violence. Many are stricken by terror and grief.

The blocking of aid and goods from entering Gaza by Israeli authorities has catastrophic results for Gaza’s children. Everyday aid and goods are prevented from reaching those who need them most, children will be killed; children are more likely to go without food or clean drinking water; children are likely to die from preventable diseases because medicine isn’t available; children are likely to die from extreme weather because they don’t have proper clothes, shoes and tents to protect them from the elements. 

Gaza is on the brink of famine. Malnutrition and disease threaten children’s survival. They urgently need food, shelter and medicines.

We’ll set up temporary learning centres and safe spaces for children to play and be children again. We’ll provide individual and group counselling to children subjected to months of terrifying violence. And we stand ready to help rebuild Gaza’s shattered education system.  

Today, the future for Gaza’s children hangs in the balance. It’s a moment of hope, but also one of peril.

Although baby Lana was healthy when she left the hospital, after three days she became unwell. Tima was quick to bring her daughter back to the hospital where she was admitted. Lana had contracted sepsis due to the tough living conditions, including very limited access to clean water and washing facilities.

If left untreated, sepsis can easily kill a baby. However, thanks to Tima’s quick actions, a course of antibiotics and close monitoring in the inpatient facility, baby Lana has made a full recovery.
