On October 10, 2025, a ceasefire was announced in the Gaza Strip, opening a critical opportunity to deliver lifesaving supplies and urgent support to children and families who have endured years of conflict and unimaginable loss.

Homes lie in ruins, essential services have collapsed and famine is a real deadly threat, with every child under five at risk of acute malnutrition.  
“The scale of humanitarian needs is immense.” - UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell

DONATE NOW

Children cannot wait. 

After more than two years of conflict, the announcement of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip offers a moment of hope for children and families who have endured immense hardship, trauma, and loss. But the needs are immense.  

Essential systems including water, sanitation, health, and nutrition have collapsed.  Famine has been declared in parts of the Gaza Strip, and the entire under-five population, 320,000 children, is at risk of acute malnutrition.

UNICEF has more than 1,300 trucks ready to bring in tents, life-saving nutrition items, essential medicines and vaccines, learning and recreation kits, and water and sanitation supplies.  

With your donation today, UNICEF can move quickly and make the most of this critical moment and deliver life-saving supplies and services to children and their families. 

UNICEF is ready to act immediately, scaling up its lifesaving response to deliver aid where it is needed most.

How can you help?

UNICEF 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, specialised supplementary food, nutrient supplements, and ready-to-use therapeutic food for the early prevention and treatment of acute malnutrition.
  • Safe and clean water through water trucking and the 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.
  • Helping children heal through mental health support and family reunification.
  • Immunizing children to protect them from deadly, preventable diseases.
  • Setting up temporary learning spaces so children can continue their education and regain some sense of normalcy.
  • Cash assistance for the most vulnerable households to meet their basic needs.

Your donation helps UNICEF maintain its critical presence in Gaza, supporting children and families with life-saving services every day.

The road to recovery will be long, and children have waited far too long already.  
Please, help us stay and respond now.
