This horrific past year has shattered childhoods in Gaza. Every day, children have faced violence, fear, loss, displacement, hunger, and devastation. At least 74 children have been reported killed in Gaza since the start of 2025 by Israeli airstrikes - this is around 10 children per day.

This pause in hostilities will stop the daily attacks and bring children vital reprieve from the violence they've faced for over a year. However, the nightmare isn't over for children. 

They are still facing the threat of cold and wet weather while living in tents, far away from the warmth and safety of their homes, putting them at risk of fatal illnesses like pneumonia.
