URGENT NEED TO STOP THE WAR ON CHILDREN
Children are paying the heaviest price as violence in Gaza and Israel continues.
CHILDREN IN CRISIS NEED YOUR HELP
Donate today to help children not just survive the next emergency, but thrive.
GAZA EMERGENCY APPEAL
Children's lives and futures are at risk-they urgently need your support to protect them, please donate today.
Children in Gaza urgently need our help
Children are cut off from the basics they need to survive, and over 1.4 million – over 60% of the total population of Gaza – have been displaced. Children’s lives and futures are at risk.
We are calling for an immediate end to this conflict. An end to the fighting is the only way to ensure children are kept safe!
Your support will help provide immediate and life-saving assistance to children in conflict and can provide a family in desperate need with essentials such as food, water and medical supplies.
We urgently need your support to protect them, please donate today.
You can save a child’s life today.
