🚨 Millions of children impacted by the Middle East conflict

Your gift ensures children in crisis get the support they need

Friend, the threat of a widening regional conflict now hangs over millions of children in the Middle East, as the places where they learn, live and play are under attack. Nearly 200 children have been killed in the first five days, according to official and media reports - the equivalent of more than six classrooms full of children. 181 children under the age of 10 have been killed in Iran, 8 in Lebanon according to the country’s ministry of health, 3 in Israel and 1 in Kuwait. Crossings into Gaza have also been closed again, cutting children off from lifesaving aid.  Save the Children is racing to scale up our response across the region. Your gift to the Children’s Emergency Fund ensures we can be there for children in these terrifying moments. Rush your gift to deliver urgently needed aid to families in the region and around the world.   Save the Children is calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities to prevent a humanitarian crisis and for crossings into Gaza to fully reopen so lifesaving assistance can reach children and their families.  Right now, in Lebanon, we're distributing baby hygiene kits, mattresses, blankets and other essential items to families impacted by recent strikes. We’re also preparing to deliver water and sanitation support, set up safe shelters and provide child protection and education.  In Gaza, we’re continuing to provide shelter, food and medical care for families affected by conflict. Across the region, children will need food, shelter, healthcare, protection and education in the days ahead. Many schools across the wider region have closed due to the conflict and are being used as shelters for displaced families. Children are being kept inside and not allowed out to play. Families are struggling to access healthcare services, children are struggling to sleep and the prices of certain foods have skyrocketed in some areas. Families are doing everything they can to protect their children — fleeing home to seek safety in schools and other buildings, and moving in with relatives and friends who have basements and more secure areas.  This violence must end. Until it does, children need your support. Donate today to our Children’s Emergency Fund to support children caught in crisis in the Middle East and around the world.
