The Nightmare Must End

For the 1.1 million children in Gaza, life is a nightmare. Now the war has spread to Lebanon putting more than 400,000 children at risk. At least one child has been killed and 10 injured every day in Lebanon in October alone. 

The destruction of homes, schools, and hospitals has left children without safe spaces to access medical care, learn, or play. Clean water, food, and electricity are scarce. Every day is a struggle for survival. 

The impact on children’s physical and psychological wellbeing is enormous, pushing them beyond their breaking point, with recovery likely to take years.

War Child and its partners help children and families survive by providing life-saving essentials such as food, clean water, shelter, warm clothing, blankets, and hygiene kits.  

Since the escalation of this brutal conflict, War Child’s teams on the ground have reached over 100,000 children in Gaza and over 2000 children in Lebanon, but thousands more urgently need help.  

This Winter, it’s not the thought that counts – we have to take action. Please donate to our appeal and help War Child to continue to be there for children in conflict when they need us the most. 

War Child's Response

War Child and its partners help children and families survive by providing life-saving essentials such as food, clean water, shelter, warm clothing, blankets, and hygiene kits.

However, shelter and blankets alone won’t help a child sleep at night, and food and water won’t heal the deep trauma they’ve endured.

That’s why, together with our partners, War Child provides specialist psychological first aid to children. Group play, art, and structured activities help build emotional resilience, enabling children to better cope with stress and trauma. The sessions also offer a brief but vital respite from the horrors they are facing.

War Child support children for as long as it takes to help them heal, regain stability, and thrive despite the devastating impacts of war.
