Introduction: Why Gaza’s Orphans Need Us Now
Tens of thousands of children in Gaza have lost one or both parents due to war, displacement, or poverty. These children face unimaginable challenges—from food insecurity to a lack of access to education and medical care. The situation has become even more urgent in recent months as violence, blockade restrictions, and humanitarian shortfalls continue to worsen the crisis.
If you’ve been wondering how to help orphans in Gaza, here are five meaningful ways to make a lasting impact today. From donations to direct sponsorships, every action counts.
The Crisis Orphans Face in Gaza
Life for orphans in Gaza is a daily struggle. According to UNICEF and regional reports, over 26,000 children in Gaza have lost one or both parents in the past decade alone. Many of them are left without stable housing, school access, or consistent meals.
The ongoing crisis in Gaza—marked by repeated conflicts, economic collapse, and border closures—has created an environment where even basic survival is a challenge. In this fragile setting, Gaza children need help not just for today, but to build a future. More background can be found in this Al Jazeera analysis.
