UNICEF is deeply concerned about the deteriorating situation in Gaza and Israel. As a result of ongoing conflict, innocent children are being killed, injured and traumatized.
UNICEF calls on all parties to do everything to exercise the utmost restraint and protect the rights and well-being of all children.
If you would like to support relief efforts for affected children, please consider making an online donation.
