Since 7 October, more than 14,855 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including over 6,150 children, as well as health workers, journalists more than 100 UN staff. Palestinians have announced that they can no longer keep track of the number of people killed due to the attacks on infrastructure and communications.
Over 36,000 people have been wounded, and 6,800 are still missing and suspected to be dead and under the rubble – half of them are children. 26 hospitals and 49 clinics, including Al Shifa and Al-Quds hospitals have closed. Premature babies have been removed from their incubators, and life support has turned off for critically ill patients. Each day, our doctors are tirelessly saving numerous lives under challenging circumstances – performing c-sections without anesthesia, using vinegar from the local shop to clean wounds, and making heart-wrenching decisions like amputating limbs of children that should be saved.

Humanitarian crisis unfolding: Devastation in Gaza
A staggering 50% of Gaza’s homes are damaged or destroyed as thousands of people continue to flee the north on foot. Over 1.7 million people have been displaced from their homes, some forced to flee to safety, and others whose homes have been completely destroyed.
A complete siege has cut off all food, water, fuel and electricity from 2.3 million people. Terrifying scenes show clouds of cities razed to the ground, highways strewn with rubble, and of generations of families carrying what they can as they flee to southern Gaza.
Hospitals, mosques, water sources and residential buildings are being struck without warning, wiping out entire neighbourhoods. Those who escape and seek shelter in schools, but these have also been targeted by bombs.
Within the space of just 4 weeks, the number of children killed in Gaza exceeded the number of children killed in all other conflict zones since 2019.
Entire neighbourhoods wiped out
The electricity supply to Gaza has been cut, plunging overcrowded hospitals into chaos. Before this escalation, families faced extreme difficulty in accessing enough food and water – 97% of water here is too contaminated to drink.
Hospitals and ambulances have been struck, and nine healthcare workers killed. Schools are closed, and morgues have run out of space, forced to store bodies on the floor.
More than 1.7 million people have been forced to flee their homes, fleeing to the south, seeking shelter in homes, makeshift shelters, hospitals and UN schools, but there is no safe refuge as the bombs continue to rain down. UN shelters have officially run out of water.
Palestinian families who have fled their homes without food or belongings urgently need your support.
Injured patients who are in overcrowded hospitals without enough fuel to keep the generators working urgently need your support.
Paramedics struggling to get fuel in order to reach the injured need your support now.
