Highlights
- In the State of Palestine, the conflict in the Gaza Strip and rising violence in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have triggered mass fatalities, displacement and extreme protection risks for children. At least 3.3 million people require assistance.
- Gaza Strip: Infrastructure damage and limited humanitarian access have created critical needs for WASH and healthcare services, with waterborne diseases and polio threatening public health. Around 132,000 children remain at risk of malnutrition. More than 1 million children require psychosocial support, and 765,000 children need access to education.
- West Bank: Violence and economic hardship impact more than 800,000 people, who require healthcare and WASH support. More than 150,000 children across the West Bank, including in refugee camps, face barriers to accessing education.
- UNICEF urgently seeks US$673.8 million to address the escalating needs of children and families in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank to provide life-saving support in WASH, health, nutrition, education, child protection, social protection and cash transfers and to support work restoring and strengthening systems.
