UNICEF Seeks $97.5M for Gaza Winter
Since the approach of winter, UNICEF has launched a plea to raise $97.5 million to protect 540,000 children in Gaza and the West Bank from the dangers of cold weather and potential floods that could threaten their lives. Gazans, with over 84% of them living in displacement camps or damaged shelters, are living in unsuitable conditions, while families in the West Bank face additional challenges due to displacement and economic restrictions. The response focuses on providing clothing, blankets, and improving shelters, along with measures to reduce flood damage and promote health awareness, relying on flexible funding to ensure support reaches communities before conditions worsen. These interventions are essential to prevent child fatalities and reduce climate-related illnesses, especially after the death of 11 children last year due to cold temperatures.
