Help children stay in the game

Help make the save when every second counts

Help bring safe water onto home ground

Your support helps children access a basic need, closer to home.
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.
Children caught in escalating violence in Lebanon
UNICEF Lebanon is delivering critical aid and support in Lebanon following the recent escalation of hostilities
As violence intensifies across Lebanon, children and families are once again bearing the heaviest burden. Ongoing airstrikes and ground clashes across multiple regions have forced over 1.1 million people—nearly 390,000 of them children—to flee their homes, often with no time to prepare or gather essential belongings. Hundreds of shelters, many in public schools, are now overcrowded, leaving families in urgent need of basic supplies, healthcare, safe water and psychosocial support. With more than 1,268 lives lost and thousands injured, including many children, this crisis is unfolding on top of years of instability that have already deeply affected communities. In response, UNICEF is working alongside national authorities and partners to scale up life-saving support, providing essential items, access to healthcare, clean water and sanitation, and ensuring that children continue to receive education and protection. Despite the immense challenges, UNICEF remains committed to reaching every child and family in need with critical care and support during this emergency.
Two-year-old Yazan, severely malnourished, lives in the Shati (Beach) refugee camp in Gaza City. His mother, Naima, says, “We have not had flour or any food assistance for two months.” Yazan sits on a torn piece of foam, his wide eyes heavy with exhaustion, his thin body clearly showing signs of acute hunger. Malnutrition has spread rapidly among children in the Gaza Strip, with rates in Gaza City rising fourfold since February.
In Gaza, famine has become a grim reality. Children like two-year-old Yazan, already severely malnourished, are on the brink of starvation. Families are going days without food, parents are skipping meals to feed their children, and more than half a million people are trapped in catastrophic hunger. Without immediate humanitarian access, more children will die from hunger and preventable disease.
