Fundraise for children in Gaza
The situation in Gaza beyond is catastrophic.
Famine has now been confirmed in Gaza City and the surrounding areas. More than half a million people – children and their families– are trapped in unimaginable conditions of hunger, loss, and suffering. People are now starving to death.
UNICEF is on the ground in the Gaza Strip, delivering lifesaving support despite immense challenges. But we cannot do it alone.
Start a fundraiser today. Host a BBQ, a bake sale, or set yourself a personal challenge. Rally your family, friends and colleagues to donate and help save lives.
Every dollar raised helps UNICEF deliver critical support to children in Gaza.
