WEST BANK
AND GAZA
Since October 2023, Humanity Fund has been calling for a definitive ceasefire and improved humanitarian access in Gaza.
Humanity Fund’s has been providing essential services and support to Palestinian children impacted by the ongoing conflict since 1953, and have had a permanent presence in the occupied Palestinian territory since 1973. We are present in the West Bank and Gaza.
Any pause in hostilities must become a definitive ceasefire to protect children from bombs and allow life-saving services for malnutrition and disease
Gaza is now the deadliest place on earth to be a child.
- More than 17,818 of Gaza’s 1.1 million children have been killed over the past 15 months.
- With the first polio case reported in Gaza in 25 years, children were already dying because of malnutrition and disease. These deaths are entirely preventable.
- All children affected by the violence in Israel and Gaza must be supported to find safety.

How to Help Children Impacted by Conflict
Without immediate support, the world’s most vulnerable children are at risk of physical and emotional harm with devastating, lifelong consequences. That’s why Humanity Fund works in the hardest-to-reach places, where it’s toughest to be a child. But we need your help. Together, we can fight threats to child survival.
