Gaza Crisis
For the past 15 months, children in Gaza have faced hell on earth.
You will have heard the news of an anticipated pause in fighting in Gaza.
It’s a first step. A moment of hope. The start of a stop to the devastating daily attacks on children.
Even with a pause in the fighting, the nightmare won’t be over for children.
Because right now, Gaza is on the brink of famine. Children urgently need food, shelter, and medicines. Malnutrition and disease threaten their lives.
Your support can help us can work wherever the need is greatest – whether that’s in Gaza or fighting the longer-term impacts of poverty and climate change worldwide. By donating to our general fund, you can make sure we’re exactly where we need to be to stand with children in crisis.
With your support, we’ll be there for many more children, for as long as they need us, so they can start to recover and see beyond tomorrow.
No matter what the emergency, children always suffer the most.
The world is dangerous and frightening for children right now.
Conflict and natural disasters create food insecurity and threaten millions of children's survival and well-being every year - the need is greater now than ever.
Our response in Ukraine
As conflict unfolds, we're aiming to reach 3.5 million vulnerable children. We are distributing essentials, providing cash assistance and offering access to education and mental health support.
Your generosity means we can help Ukrainian children make it through the toughest times of their lives.
But across the world, there are millions more children in desperate danger.
The climate crisis
Almost half of children worldwide are at huge risk from the impacts of the climate crisis as extreme weather destroys crops, livestock and livelihoods.
Families are missing out on the food they need to stay healthy, struggling to pay for school or healthcare and many children have to work to support their families.
Without immediate action, the climate crisis will continue to rob children of their childhood and their futures, especially those living in the poorest places.
Change is possible and a better world for children can be built – but we have to act now.
