Emergency aid for children

The violence in the Middle East hits children the hardest. While the 60-day ceasefire in Lebanon offers some hope for the time being, the situation in the Gaza Strip is continuing to escalate. Violence is also increasing in the West Bank, and the number of traumatised refugee children in Syria and Egypt is rising. The consequences for the children are devastating: they lose their home, their family and their safety.

More than
1 million

children in the Gaza Strip are struggling to survive.

Ceasefire in Lebanon

After two months of intense violence in Lebanon, there is hope: a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has been put in place for 60 days. However, the situation remains bleak. More than 240 children have been killed during the fighting, over 400,000 children have been displaced, and around 1,400 children have been injured. Many families are still struggling to survive – with insufficient food, clean water or medical care.

The violence in Gaza continues to escalate

In the Gaza Strip alone, 625,000 children are unable to attend school because their schools are closed or have been destroyed. 334 schools have been damaged by air strikes, and more than half of all houses have been destroyed. Since the escalation began, more than 14,000 children have been killed and over 20,000 are missing – possibly buried in mass graves, detained or trapped under the rubble.

We are working on the ground in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt, providing life-saving assistance, protection and support to affected families.But this is not enough. We urgently call for an immediate ceasefire to protect the lives and future of the children in Gaza.
