Meet Baby Lana

Tima with her newborn baby Lana who became the first baby to be born at Save the Children’s new maternity unit in the Gaza Strip. on April 26th 2024

*names changed

Tima* and her family were displaced multiple times as fighting expanded across the Gaza strip. They now live in a tent in central Gaza. Tima was terrified about where she would be able to give birth safely, given the continuous attacks on healthcare facilities during the war.

On 26 April 2024, baby Lana* became the first baby to be born at Save the Children’s new maternity unit in the Gaza Strip.

No child should have their lives destroyed by conflict. Your monthly donation could provide lifesaving medical care and a safe place for Mother’s to give birth in Gaza and across the world

The Emergency Health Unit has now handed over the maternity unit to national staff to continue this important work going forward. However, we’re continuing to provide essential healthcare services at our Primary Health Care Centre in Deir Al-Balah. 

Your donation can help more children like Baby Lana today and for as long as they need us.

The impact of donations

In 2022, the Save the Children movement reached 48.5m children in 115 countries including the UK, thanks to supporters like you.

We helped 33m children survive through our movement's health and nutrition work. We and our partners:

  • tackled pneumonia – the single largest infectious killer of young children worldwide. Inspiring extra global funding, pushing to make vaccines more available and providing oxygen to children struggling to breathe
  • fought undernutrition – supporting community-based work in Kenya, South Sudan, Afghanistan and Yemen to diagnose, treat and prevent malnutrition. Enabling families and caregivers to detect acute malnutrition themselves, vital for those who live hours from the nearest health centre or cannot afford to pay for care

We supported 9.2m children to learn through our movement's education programmes. We worked with communities, partners and governments to:

  • make sure children living in conflicts and emergencies – including refugee children – can get the education they tell us is their number one priority
  • fight for girls’ right to an education and tackle obstacles – such as child marriage – that stand in their way
  • improve learning for children during their crucial early years – around the world and among the UK’s poorest communities – when it can make the biggest difference.

We fought relentlessly to protect 3.8m children through our movement's protection programmes and spoke up for millions more around the world.  In 2022, we worked with our partners to help children on the frontline of some of the world’s worst conflicts and in contexts where children are at risk of harm:

  • In South Sudan, we supported women’s rights organisations to lead workshops with our humanitarian staff and partners to develop guidelines to make sure they recruit, retain and promote female humanitarian workers.
  • In Ukraine, we worked with 27 local partner organisations to give food, water, fuel, heaters and essential supplies like toothbrushes and soap to families who’d fled their homes. Along with helping reunite lost children with their families and set up safe spaces for them to play and recover.
  • In Madagascar, we worked to strengthen people’s understanding of child protection and the local systems required to keep children safe from violence, abuse and exploitation.
