Humanitarian needs in Gaza remain extremely high, with families facing severe shortages of basic necessities. Plan International has already supported many vulnerable families through its local partner, Kotof, by providing hot meals, safe learning spaces where children can learn through play, and essential winter items such as mattresses and bedding.
While this assistance has made a meaningful difference, challenges continue to escalate. Ongoing winter conditions, extensive reconstruction needs and pressure on the education and health systems mean communities urgently need further help.
A plan is in place for the next phase of the emergency response, but funding is essential to deliver support quickly to those who need it most.

Since August 2025, thanks to your support and that of our partners in Gaza and the region, we have:
- reached over 252,000 people with life‑saving aid

The UN have warned that one out of every three people has not eaten for days, and eight in every 10 people who have reportedly died from starvation are children. According to a new report from the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) published on Friday, 22 August, famine has taken hold in Gaza. In conditions of famine, children die first, and it is an agonising death.
For everyone watching the horror unfold, now is the time you can support.
