Children are paying the heaviest price of this war.

Children in Gaza have faced months of relentless bombing.

They are being killed by bombs and bullets at an unprecedented rate. They are dying because of hunger and disease. They have lost homes, loved ones, and the safety to which they have a right.

Families are struggling to find enough food and water, with children already dying because of malnutrition and disease. The situation has never been more desperate – 96% of the population are facing severe food shortages, as a result of the ongoing violence, displacement and restrictions on aid.

On top of this, over 20,000 children are currently missing in the chaos of war. Thousands are presumed dead beneath the rubble. Others have been harmed beyond recognition by explosives, buried in unmarked or mass graves, or have been detained or abducted.

New Israeli orders force thousands in Deir al-Balah to flee again, disrupting the last aid hub in Gaza and our ability to support families. 

Families in Gaza have nowhere safe to go. We need a definitive ceasefire now.
