"We used the money to get crucial supplies for the children: milk, diapers, medicine for my sick child, and flour for making bread," says Eman, a mother from Gaza
Nothing can describe the pain and helplessness a mother feels knowing she can’t provide her children with something as basic and essential as milk or food. Unfortunately, mothers in conflict-torn areas like Gaza are all too familiar with this feeling as they struggle daily to feed their children.
This Ramadan remains incomplete without extending a helping hand to families enduring such struggles.
Since the start of the escalation in Gaza, UNICEF has reached over 500,000 people with cash transfers that enable families like Eman’s to purchase essential items they desperately need. Fulfill this month of giving by helping us reach more children and families with such urgent and critical support.
