Gaza-Israel War 6-Month Impact Update

The six-month war on Gaza since the 7 October 2023 attacks on Israel by Palestinian armed groups has resulted in horrendous consequences for children. Despite the extremely difficult operating challenges, Save the Children’s teams and local partners have helped more than 323,200 people in Gaza over the past six months. This includes delivering food, water and hygiene kits, as well as providing cash transfers and psychosocial support. But this is just a drop in the ocean compared to the level of humanitarian need. More than one million children in Gaza face the imminent threat of famine. We’re continuing to call for an immediate ceasefire and unfettered humanitarian access so we can scale up our response. Meanwhile, violence has also escalated in the West Bank and Lebanon. We’re supporting displaced families with cash and essential items. Whatever the future may hold, we will continue to support children and families in Gaza and across the region.
