Children in Gaza need life-saving support
Created: Jan 7th, 2025
HOGS continues to work with partners to provide assistance to children and their families. The war in the Gaza Strip has taken an unconscionable toll on children. At least 15,600 have been reported killed, with thousands more injured. Nearly every child in Gaza knows what it is to be displaced: Their families have been torn apart, their homes destroyed. No child will emerge from the horrors of bombardment without the imprint of trauma. HOGS and partners are mobilizing resources to scale up and expand our emergency response. But only with safe, unrestricted access throughout Gaza can humanitarians get relief into children’s hands. The challenges of aid delivery in Gaza are many. The reasons to persist are more. Since the start of this war, HOGS staff have remained on the ground, working with partners to provide safe drinking water to displaced families, treatment for severely malnourished children, and medical supplies and vaccines for children in hospitals and shelters. HOGS has been surging support to children in critical need and working to expand existing services while establishing new ones to reach families on the move. But unless aid is consistently allowed to enter the Gaza Strip – whether or not there is a ceasefire in place – roughly 1 million children will be living without the very basics they need to survive.
