Gaza's children need more than just a ceasefire – they desperately require access to vital aid supplies and services that will keep them alive. In the brief pause of hostilities, families in Gaza are cautiously returning to their neighbourhoods, but basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and healthcare remain out of reach.
The humanitarian crisis on the ground is catastrophic. Children and babies continue to struggle with malnutrition, scabies, and pneumonia. With no consistent delivery of aid supplies, Palestinians cannot think about rebuilding Gaza until these fundamental needs are met. Save the Children has been advocating for basic rights since 1953, but it seems like history is repeating itself.
As the world watches celebrations in Gaza, thousands of children are still struggling to access essential services. The UN agencies and international organizations have increased humanitarian supplies, but this is far from the scale needed. Since March, Save the Children's aid has been repeatedly denied entry into Gaza, leaving families with nothing but rationing existing stock as a temporary solution.
Imagine having to watch your own child starve due to lack of food during pregnancy, only to see them suffer severe acute malnutrition at just seven months old. That's what Nazek and her youngest daughter Nour experienced during the war. With Save the Children's support, Nour has improved, but she needs consistent access to high-energy food for a prolonged period.
As winter approaches, families in Gaza face a new challenge – shelter, blankets, and warm clothing are essential but remain out of reach due to lack of aid supplies. The scale of devastation is staggering, with 92% of homes damaged or destroyed, leaving thousands without the means to keep their families warm.
Save the Children advocates for long-term unimpeded access to aid and a permanent definitive ceasefire. This isn't just about humanitarian aid; it's about upholding human rights and obligations. Anything less puts children's lives and futures at grave risk.
We urge Israel to allow all border crossings to be opened with immediate effect, enabling international management on both sides of the border to deliver supplies transparently. With supplies ready in Egypt, Save the Children is prepared to scale up essential services but needs unimpeded access to make a real difference for Gaza's children.

it breaks my heart 2 think about these innocent kids sufferin 4 nothin they deserve 2 have food, water & shelter like every other kid in the world its not just about aid supplies its about human rights & dignity u can't put a price on a child's life 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this... it feels like we're back to square one after every ceasefire. I mean, don't get me wrong, these kids are suffering BIG TIME 
but let's be real, aid supplies need to keep coming in and out of Gaza or else it's just a drop in the bucket 
. And what's with all this talk about "humanitarian crisis"? Like we haven't seen that before... 
I know there's a war going on and people are dying, but come on! Let's focus on getting these basic needs met instead of just having another ceasefire 
. It's not like it's gonna solve anything if we're still struggling to get food and water in there. The fact that Save the Children has been denied entry into Gaza is just crazy 
... what even is that?!
92% of homes damaged or destroyed and people are still struggling with basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and healthcare? It's like, I get that there's a conflict and all, but do we really need to watch thousands of kids suffer just because they can't get their hands on some decent food and blankets? 
shelter is also a major issue w/92% of homes damaged or destroyed... it's not just about humanitarian aid, it's about upholding human rights & obligations 
Save the Children is doing great work but needs unimpeded access 2 make a real difference 4 Gaza's kids 
let's hope Israel opens those borders ASAP so international orgs can deliver supplies transparently 
and what about all the meds & vaccines needed to combat those scary diseases? scabies, pneumonia... 
u can't just sit back and watch kids suffer like this. gotta act fast! 
. I remember my grandma used to volunteer at a soup kitchen when I was growing up and it broke her heart every time she saw people struggling... same thing here, but on a massive scale. Can't we just get some aid in there ASAP? 
The UN is trying, but it's like they're playing catch-up 
. Israel needs to open those borders and let them bring in supplies pronto! 
This isn't just about saving lives; it's about respecting human rights, you know? 
. I mean, I know it's not exactly related to Gaza or humanitarian crises, but I just can't help thinking about that while reading this article 
.
️. Sorry, got a bit sidetracked there!
the stats are insane 92% homes damaged or destroyed like what even... families have to deal with scabies and pneumonia because they dont have acess to proper healthcare 
and I'm still on a high from all the sunshine and fresh air. You know what's crazy though? I was trying to make these delicious homemade ice cream sandwiches for my kids (okay, so one of them is basically an adult now, but still) and I realized I completely forgot to buy cookie dough
