After nearly two years of conflict, on 22 August 2025, famine was officially confirmed in Gaza City for the first time: more than half a million people – children, parents, and grandparents – are trapped in unimaginable conditions of hunger, loss, and suffering.

Over 500,000 people are facing famine

UNICEF teams remain on the ground in Gaza, helping children access safe water, supporting health centres, and screening and treating children suffering from malnutrition.

No donation is too small, and every donation makes it possible for us to continue to deliver critical services, urgent nutrition and life-saving supplies to families and children in need.

Be the hope Gaza’s children need! Make a difference today 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏾

Children in Gaza line up for food !

Ahmad, 5-years-old, waits his turn in the crowd to get a meal from a charitable hospice that distributes free food in the city of Rafah, southern Gaza Strip.

“I am here with my little brother waiting for our turn, I hope we can get some food, we are both hungry.”

 Ahmad’s eyes tell a story of hunger, fear, and survival.  

Like millions of children in Gaza, Ahmad is growing up in a world of rubble and uncertainty – a reality no child should ever endure.

Relentless hostilities have displaced over 3.3 million people, nearly half of them children. Homes are destroyed. Families are separated. And critical essentials – clean water, food, medicine, fuel are running out fast.

Each day, the risk grows. Children like Ahmad are facing preventable disease, dehydration, and malnutrition – dangers that no child should suffer in silence.

Since the conflict began, UNICEF has been on the ground – calling for a ceasefire and delivering life-saving supplies like ready-to-use infant formula, therapeutic food, and essential nutrients. But the needs are rising fast.

🚨 We urgently need your help to reach more children, faster.

There’s no time to lose. Your donation today can help UNICEF deliver critical supplies like life-saving therapeutic food to children suffering from severe malnutrition. Please donate now to help send vital aid to children in Gaza and across the State of Palestine.

WHY DONATE MONTHLY?

The continuity of services is essential

We are very grateful for any and all donations we receive. However, monthly donations are what allow us to continue our long-term programmes to help the most vulnerable children, as well as being our greatest help in emergencies, as they guarantee quick action to save lives.

Your monthly support means we can plan ahead, deliver consistent care, and bring hope to children in Gaza, the wider State of Palestine, and around the world – even in the most difficult places.

Every gift, no matter the size, creates lasting change. Together, we can give children the protection, opportunities, and future they deserve.

 Help deliver hope! Provide lifesaving aid to children in Gaza 

UNICEF’s 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 urgent aid to Gaza and the wider State of Palestine.
