Some Information Regarding Gaza
The Gaza emergency is a humanitarian crisis that has been ongoing for years, with the situation deteriorating further in recent times. The Gaza Strip, which is home to over 2 million people, including 1.7 million Palestine refugees, is facing unbearable living conditions.
The war in the Gaza Strip is taking a catastrophic toll on children. More than 14,000 children have reportedly been killed, according to the latest estimate by the Palestinian Ministry of Health; thousands more have been injured. There are no safe spaces. All of Gaza’s children have been exposed to the traumatic experiences of war, the consequences of which will last a lifetime.
Gaza’s children have endured unimaginable horrors – they deserve an immediate ceasefire and a chance for a peaceful future.
They do not have enough access to water, food, fuel and medicine. Their homes have been destroyed; their families torn apart. Many children have been displaced multiple times, and have lost homes, parents and loved ones. They need to be protected, along with the remaining services that they rely on, including medical facilities and shelter.
