Following an extreme escalation of violence in Israel and Gaza and a deadly earthquake in Afghanistan over the weekend, our teams are bracing for what comes next and preparing to protect children.
In times of violence and natural disasters, children never emerge unscathed. They often face serious long-term mental health impacts. Save the Children is dedicated to doing everything we can to keep them safe and help them recover. We are releasing funds from the Children's Emergency Fund so our teams in both regions have the resources required to respond to children’s most pressing needs.
Save the Children works tirelessly around the world to support the immediate and long-term needs of children in harm's way. We provide food, shelter and other essentials, protect access to education and establish child-friendly spaces to support mental health and protection services for children facing the worst crises imaginable, no matter the cause.
Your donations to the Children’s Emergency Fund make this lifesaving work possible John. This fund allows us to provide quick and efficient aid to communities around the world whenever and wherever emergencies strike, and we’re counting on you to help us replenish it now.
Every crisis impacting children is one we will not tolerate. Whether it be from conflict or natural disaster, we stand by children and will do whatever it takes to ensure they are safe.
