UNICEF continues to do everything we can to protect and support children in the State of Palestine. But with the situation worsening, we need your help to reach more children. 

For over a year, children in Gaza have endured unimaginable hardship—displacement, hunger, fear and suffering. Now, with violence escalating again, their need for life-saving aid is greater than ever. 

UNICEF continues to do everything we can to protect and support children in the State of Palestine. We are repairing water systems, running mental health sessions, setting up learning centers, and relentlessly advocating for humanitarian access and an end to the violence. But with critical supplies running out and safe access severely restricted, more children are at risk every day.  

Your support is urgently needed to sustain the life-saving efforts.

How can you help?

UNICEF response will continue to focus on responding to the needs of millions of children and families currently facing an urgent and pressing need for protection and humanitarian assistance.

Your support can help reach more children and families with-

  • Nutrition supplies including ready-to-use infant formula, specialized supplementary food, nutrient supplements, and ready-to-use therapeutic food for the early prevention and treatment of acute malnutrition.
  • Winter supplies including winter clothes, blankets and tarpaulins, and tents for shelter.
  • Safe and clean water through water trucking and distribution of bottled water. UNICEF is also reaching children and families with water containers, chlorine tablets for water purification, and fuel to operate water wells and desalination plants. 
  • Hygiene and sanitation essentials by distributing tens of thousands of bars of soap and family hygiene kits containing everyday basic items as well as hygiene essentials for women.
  • Emergency medical support and supplies to hospitals and health facilities, including supplies for newborns, kits for midwives, kits to treat acute watery diarrhoea, and other life-saving medicines.
  • Cash assistance for the most vulnerable households to meet basic needs.

But the need is immense and continuously increasing. Please donate to send help urgent aid to Gaza and wider State of Palestine.
