Among Save the Children’s interventions is a 16-month project aimed at reducing barriers to quality and protective education services for at risk and out of school girls and boys in the Gaza Strip. The project focused on enhancing children’s access and retention to quality and safe education opportunities through remedial education, education material support combined with referral pathways to service providers, to children and families exhibiting extreme vulnerabilities.

Four out of five children in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, whose homes have been demolished by Israeli authorities say they feel abandoned by the world, a new report by Save the Children revealed today.

After 11 days of violence which ended with a ceasefire, children in Gaza are suffering from fear and anxiety, a lack of sleep, and are displaying worrying signs of distress, such as constant shaking and bedwetting, Save the Children said today. Palestinian and Israeli children will bear the mental consequences for years to come, the organisation warned.

Save the Children calls for an easing of restrictions on aid for hard to reach areas

Fewer than 730 ventilators and 950 Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds are available for more than 15 million children and their families in areas that are hard for aid agencies to reach in Yemen, northern Syria and Gaza - meaning they are critically underequipped to respond to an outbreak of COVID-19, Save the Children is warning.
