Friend, I'll keep this short. Every hour, more children in Gaza arrive at our clinics in critical condition. And with the recent strike on a hospital near Khan Younis that further weakened the health infrastructure, keeping our clinic doors open to children and families is more important than ever. Precious lives are on the line.

Here are three urgent reasons your support is needed right now:
|
|
1. Child malnutrition has surged 300%. Since the aid blockade resumed in March, the number of severely malnourished children arriving at our clinics has skyrocketed. What was once one to two cases a day has surged to 10-15 people daily — many too weak to eat, drink, or speak. Malnutrition weakens the body's ability to fight infections, making people more vulnerable to illness.
|
|
2. Our treatment for malnutrition is keeping children alive. In many cases, the therapeutic food and emergency health care we provide are a matter of life and death. Parents come to us determined to find medical care for their children — but every day, our teams face dwindling resources and growing lines of families in need.
|
|
3. Over 315,000 people are at risk of losing care. Government funding cuts and the ongoing blockade are threatening the very existence of our programs. If our clinics are forced to shut down, hundreds of thousands of people — mostly women and children — will lose access to essential medical care, clean water, and basic nutrition.
