War Child is currently rolling out our largest ever humanitarian response in Gaza and West Bank.
For decades, children in Gaza and West Bank including East Jerusalem have routinely faced violence, detention without trial, harassment and discrimination under Israel’s occupation. The devastating two-year war in Gaza has made the lives of Palestinian children indescribably worse.
An estimated 20,000 children have been killed, 42,011 injured and at least 21,000 children left permanently disabled. More than 17,000 others are estimated by the UN to be separated or left orphaned as parents and caregivers are killed, missing, or detained.
For those who have survived the carnage, the situation is dire. In Gaza, the fragile ceasefire brings huge relief, but the challenges are immense.
