In Gaza, 80% of all reported deaths by starvation are children. They need you more than ever.

Children in Gaza are hungry, traumatised and have no safe place to go. Since the collapse of the ceasefire in March, they have been trapped in a nightmare and deprived of the basics to survive Israel’s blockade of aid.

On top of this, 96% of Gaza households lack access to adequate water, leading to waterborne illnesses.

We simply cannot accept these conditions.

We are acting fast to reach children in Gaza

As of July 27, Israel has announced temporary humanitarian corridors to allow aid into Gaza. The equivalent of 1,450 truckloads worth of assistance are being prepared for dispatching to the Gaza Strip, carrying essentials such as:

  • Nutrition supplies
  • Baby food
  • Milk
  • High-energy biscuits

You can make a difference at this crucial time. Please donate to our Gaza Crisis Appeal and explore the ideas below on how to support Gaza and Palestine.

1. Create a fundraiser

Our inspiring community of fundraisers are taking action after asking themselves  ‘how can I help Gaza and Palestine?’

We have plenty of support on our fundraising page on how to get started with your own fundraiser. You can also download some materials for your events and find tips on how to meet your fundraising targets.

Some popular ways people have been fundraising for Gaza include:

In addition, you can fundraise through your school, community organisations such as religious groups, book clubs or social media networks.

The easiest way to begin is by heading to JustGiving to set up your own fundraising page.

The money reaches us automatically via JustGiving, so you don’t need to worry about sending it in.

2. Become a corporate partner

If you own or represent a business, you may be asking yourself ‘As a workforce, what can we do to help Gaza and Palestine?’

You have the power to help transform the lives of vulnerable children in Gaza and The State of Palestine by forming a partnership with us.

In effect, we can help provide both immediate relief in Gaza and long-term infrastructure that improves children’s lives.

Email [email protected] to begin a partnership with us, or find out more about corporate partnership.

3. Campaign with us

Right now, the people of Gaza currently rely completely on international aid to survive. The previous UK government made cuts to international aid, limiting our efforts to help children in Gaza and the rest of the world.

Your voice matters in urging the government to protect children by prioritising their rights.

Join thousands of supporters who have signed the Futures at Risk petition to call for the UK government to protect children’s futures.

4. Become a philanthropist

We are grateful to support a network of leading philanthropists across a variety of sectors who are using their influence to help children in Gaza and the State of Palestine.

Philanthropists are taken on a special journey through our work in the form of:

  • Dedicated support from a member of our Philanthropy team.
  • A choice of how your donation is used to support Palestine (or you can leave it up to us to use the money where it is needed the most).
  • Invitations to exclusive events, including our annual, star-studded gala event, the Blue Moon Gala.

If you are an individual philanthropist or looking to make a major donation as a family, please read more.

5. Stay informed

One of the most powerful things you can do is keep learning about the situation in Gaza and our latest work.

Here are some ways you can stay in the know:

  • Read the stories about children in The State of Palestine to understand their challenges and their hopes in their own words.
  • Follow the latest coverage around Gaza in the news. Our spokesperson James Elder often appears on the air to share his first-hand account of the harrowing war on children in Gaza.
  • Stay informed by browsing through our State of Palestine Situation Reports. These reports provide a clear picture of the challenges children and families are facing and what we are doing to address them.
