YES! I will protect children and families on the brink of famine.
As a humanitarian organisation that advocates for the rights of children everywhere, we are devastated and horrified by the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Israel. Since the morning of 7 October, the conflict has escalated with the number of casualties soaring past 30,000. Among the casualties, nearly half are children.
Gaza is now on the brink of famine. Families have been drinking unsafe water for months and spend days without eating. Two million people are facing malnutrition and starvation.
Our Plan International offices in Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan are rapidly scaling up our responses with our partners, like the Egyptian Red Crescent, to reach children in Gaza and for the influx of people seeking safety across the border.
Your donation will be put straight to work providing life-saving food parcels, water, shelter and medicine, as well as menstrual health management and hygiene kits and vital child protection services.
Millions of children are being traumatised by this conflict. We are also deeply concerned for all the children suffering in Israel, including hostages who must be released. The Government of Israel has not requested additional support from the international humanitarian community at this time.
Our minimum donation amount is $5. Any donations received that exceed what is required to support this emergency will be directed to other areas of greatest humanitarian need, helping assist more children facing global crises and conflicts.
