About 130 children are being born daily in Gaza as Israeli authorities' total siege on supplies enters its second month, putting mothers and newborns at risk as medical and food supplies run out and a lack of flour closes all bakeries.

GAZA, 20 March 2025 – Hundreds of thousands of children are trapped across northern Gaza after Israeli forces cut the area off from the rest of the Strip, with tens of thousands at imminent risk from military ground operations around Beit Lahiya town in North Gaza Governorate, Save the Children said.

The UK Government has allied itself to Israel’s atrocities. The horrors inflicted on children on and since 7th October 2023 have undermined our shared humanity.

More than 40 countries have been impacted across Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East by an abrupt halt to US government foreign aid that is threatening health, nutrition and education programmes for millions of children.

Gaza's 1.1 million children will once again face a hellscape of bombs, bullets, starvation, and disease, compounding nearly 17 months of physical and mental harm, warned Save the Children.

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) is launching a Middle East Humanitarian Appeal to raise urgent funds for people whose lives are being devastated by conflict.

At least 3,100 children aged under five have been killed in Gaza with other under-fives at risk from severe malnutrition.

What we want to say is simple: we never imagined the world would allow this horror to continue for so long, or for Israel to act with such impunity.

15 aid organisations demand international pressure for an immediate ceasefire, arms embargo, and end to Israel’s systematic aid obstruction.

31 organisations call on all UN Member States to take urgent steps to protect people deprived of their liberty across the occupied Palestinian territory and Israel.

Israeli forces have rained bombs down on Gaza, killing more than 14,000 Palestinian children. These bombs are being dropped from planes made with British parts.

New displacement orders issued by Israeli authorities have forced another mass movement of families and humanitarian workers from areas in Deir al-Balah.

Sacha Myers, Save the Children's Media Manager, spent 2 weeks in Gaza at the end of April. This is what she witnessed.

Jason Lee, Save the Children's Country Director in the occupied Palestinian territory, explains why children and families need a definitive ceasefire now.

Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai is donating $100,000 (£71,000) to Save the Children, $25,000 to KinderUSA and $25,000 to DCI Palestine to support families in Gaza.
