Nour*, Nazek*’s 1-year-old daughter, is one of the millions of children impacted by this crisis – but today, she’s thriving with support from Save the Children. When Nour became sick because of malnutrition, our teams provided ready-to-eat therapeutic food for her to eat. For four months, our clinics monitored and treated her until her health improved and she started walking. While we were able to treat Nour, more children are coming to the clinic each week to be treated, as food is still extremely difficult to find. We’re scaling up aid to be ready to surge into Gaza to meet the needs of the two million people who need it most.
John, Gaza’s children have experienced what no one should experience in their lifetime. They've been forced to flee violence again and again, sleeping in fear of losing loved ones – reduced to skin and bones while living every day with less hope for peace than the day before.
Save the Children has been responding and remains in the region to deliver relief. Our teams have reached over 113,000 Palestinians with health care, treating 14,000 people from malnutrition and vaccinating younger children against polio. We’ve also provided safe water to over 575,000 people.
In total, we’ve reached over 1.6 million people — including 811,000 children — with lifesaving aid. That’s all thanks to supporters like you.
Our work goes beyond Gaza, so children caught in crises receive the care they deserve. In other areas of conflict, we have reached 8.3 million people, including 1.1 million children impacted by the war in Ukraine, 1.7 million children enduring the humanitarian crisis in Sudan and over 2.5 million people impacted by conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Save the Children provides health care, nutrition, protection and education to kids worldwide.
John, your support today can help more children survive war, disaster and extreme poverty.
Will you make a gift for children caught in unimaginable circumstances in places like Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine?
With gratitude,
Save the Children |
