Contesto |
The armed conflict in the Gaza Strip and rising violence in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have triggered severe humanitarian consequences: fatalities, mass displacement and child separation. At least 3.3 million people require humanitarian assistance. In the Gaza Strip, infrastructure damage and limited humanitarian access have created critical needs for WASH and health-care services, with outbreaks of waterborne diseases and polio threatening public health. Food insecurity is worsening and now exposes 322,000 children to the risk of malnutrition. Thousands of children also face mental health challenges, and 660,000 are out of school. In the West Bank, violence and economic hardship impact over 830,000 people needing health care and WASH support; 133,000 children require education support. UNICEF provides life-saving support in WASH, health, nutrition, education, child protection, social protection and cash transfers at the benefit of the physical and mental well-being of children and their caregivers. |
