Save the Children's Humanitarian Response in the West Bank and Gaza
As of June 2025, Save the Children and its partners have reached more than 1.5 million people across the West Bank and Gaza.
The crisis in Gaza has grown to unimaginable levels in the 21 months. Today, the lives of the 1.1 million children in Gaza are urgently threatened by spiraling acute food insecurity. Data* shows that 93% of people in Gaza are experiencing crisis-level acute food insecurity or worse. Humanitarians must be given unimpeded, immediate access to deliver life-saving aid and address the scale of the deadly crisis. We have been clear on what will save lives: a definitive ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages and full aid access.
Alongside local partners, we’ve delivered the following lifesaving programs:
An icon of a mother and child holding hands.
Delivering essential items, like tents, bedding, warm clothes and basic cooking items, to families who’ve lost everything.
Providing fuel and water infrastructure for hospitals and distributing water storage tanks
Delivering mental health and psychosocial support services for children and caregivers
Delivering mental health and psychosocial support services, including setting up Child-Friendly Spaces
Setting up temporary learning spaces and repairing damaged schools
Identifying the most at-risk children for child protection services
A 30-year-old father living in northern Gaza with his pregnant wife and two-year-old child, said:
“I don’t know how to feed my family. There’s no food. I have no choice but to eat things you would never imagine. It’s unfair. It’s desperate here—chaos. We don’t know what awaits us. No one is living a dignified life. Why is this happening to us?”
