"The WORST orphan crisis in MODERN HISTORY" - United Nations

I want to help heal their trauma

The Worst Orphan Crisis in Modern History

39,000+ children in Gaza have lost one or both parents. 17,000 have lost both. These children need us now — and the next step is healing their trauma.

Children in Gaza have lost one or both parents since October 2023

17,000

60,000

Children face severe malnutrition and risk of famine — their survival depends on urgent intervention

The Next Step: Healing the Children of Palestine

The UN has confirmed Gaza is facing the largest orphan crisis in modern history. Children are living in torn tents and destroyed homes with almost no social care or psychological support.

We need to collectively help heal these children from trauma — through food, safety, play, and the dignity every child deserves. This isn’t just about survival. It’s about giving them their childhood back.

Yes. When we say 100%, we mean that 100% of donations are applied to programme-related work that benefits children, and not to general office running costs or organisational overheads.

Your donation is used to deliver, sustain, and grow programmes that help children — not to fund the day-to-day running of the organisation.

To support transparency and good governance, Child Relief operates separate bank accounts for programme funds and for organisational running costs. This helps ensure donations intended for programmes are managed and tracked separately, alongside clear internal controls and trustee oversight.

Our essential running costs are covered separately through:

• Gift Aid
• Sponsorships
• Capacity-building grants
• Donations specifically given to support running costs

This separation allows us to be transparent and protect the integrity of our 100% donation policy.

By joining our mailing list, you’ll receive updates on how your support is helping children in Palestine, stories of impact from the ground, and opportunities to help when it matters most.
