As people who work closely with young people everyday, we are heartbroken to see the impacts of the ongoing crisis in Gaza. Our stance is clear; we want to support this charity as they aim to get vital aid to innocent civilians in Gaza, Occupied Palestine.

Currently, lack of aid is effectively being used as a weapon of war to displace and disperse families in the region. Children in Gaza are dying from starvation and disease at the highest rate the world has ever seen. After months of siege and bombing, children's mental health in Gaza is beyond breaking point. We cannot stand by without taking action, so please support us in this accessible way of supporting the children of Gaza by donating whatever you can.

Can't donate? You can simply share our link to promote to others in your circle who are able to help. The vital aid that Save The Children supply includes:

- school-in-a-bag kits

- family hygiene packs

- food baskets

- emergency first-aid kits

An adequate humanitarian response is not possible without an immediate and definitive ceasefire, so they also use funds to prepare a rapid response for when they are able to better access civilians in Gaza/West Bank. When they can, they aim to:

- deliver further mental health and psychosocial support services for children and caregivers

- distribute warm clothes and blankets, plus cash and vouchers for medicines, food and other essentials

- providing fuel and water infrastructure for hospitals after unverified claims of “Hamas’s cynical use of hospitals” was used to justify relentless destruction of healthcare services in Gaza. Not that any evidence put forward would justify depriving hospitals and ambulances of their protected status under international humanitarian law (Human Rights Watch).
