Your generous donation can provide children and families affected by the war in Gaza, as well as other disasters across the world, with life-saving essentials like food, water and crucial mental health support.

It can also help create lasting change through longer term programmes to alleviate poverty and the chronic impact of climate change.

The situation in Gaza has never been more desperate.

Months of unrelenting fighting and deprivation in Gaza have left thousands of children dead, while those who survive face continued war, siege, hunger and unimaginable loss.

It's hard to believe the living nightmare children have endured for eight months could get worse. But right now, that's what's unfolding.

And while our screens are alive to the horrors in Gaza, all around the world, children are suffering in war zones away from the cameras.

Our teams are doing working around the clock to get vital supplies to children in the middle east and beyond as well preparing to rebuild children's futures once the fighting stops.

But they need your support. Please make a donation to Save the Children today.

Why monthly donations are important

Now more than ever children in Gaza and around the world need your help.  

Donations during this emergency have allowed us to act fast. But by giving monthly you can help us to be by a child's side within days, whenever disaster strikes. 

Your monthly gift will mean that our teams can provide continuous support, offering vital food, healthcare and education to children in urgent need around the world. It also allows us to support children as they move out of survival mode and begin to start living again.

With a monthly donation, you can make a lasting impact on the lives of children in Gaza and around the world. 

Meet Baby Lana

Lana, the first baby born at our Emergency Health Unit in Gaza

When Tima* found out she was pregnant in July 2023, she was excited to be having her second child and started to think about how she would spoil her new baby.

Then in October 2023, the war in Gaza started and everything 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 very worried about where she would give birth safely, given the continuous attacks on healthcare facilities during the war.

Save the Children’s Emergency Health Unit have set up a maternity unit in the Gaza Strip. Baby Lana* arrived on 26 April 2024 and was the first baby to be born at the new maternity unit.

Although baby Lana was healthy when she left the hospital, after three days she became unwell. Tima was quick to bring her daughter back to the hospital where she was admitted. Lana had contracted sepsis due to the tough living conditions, including very limited access to clean water and washing facilities.

If left untreated, sepsis can easily kill a baby. However, thanks to Tima’s quick actions, a course of antibiotics and close monitoring in the inpatient facility, baby Lana has made a full recovery.

* Names changed to protect their identity

Your donation will help vulnerable children wherever the need is greatest. ​

The situation in Gaza and Israel

The conditions needed to scale-up humanitarian assistance in Gaza are currently not being met and humanitarian aid is being used as a weapon of war. An adequate humanitarian response is not possible without an immediate and definitive ceasefire.

Children are terrified, have been forced from their homes, and are cut off from an education. Civilians can never be targeted and there are no circumstances under international humanitarian law in which this can be ignored. The killing and maiming of children, along with attacks on schools and hospitals, is a grave violation, and those responsible should be held to account for their actions. 

All children captured must be released immediately and unconditionally. Civilians, and infrastructure essential for their lives, such as hospitals and schools, must be spared from the violence.  

The only way to truly protect children’s lives is to halt this violence.
