After almost 18 months of war in the Gaza Strip, more than 15,000 children have reportedly been killed, over 34,000 reportedly injured and nearly 1 million children repeatedly displaced and deprived of their right to basic services. Since March 2, 2025, no aid or commercial goods have been allowed into Gaza — the longest period of aid blockage since the start of the war. Supplies built up during the two-month ceasefire are rapidly running out, creating a critical food shortage. Without these vital supplies, malnutrition, diseases and other preventable conditions will likely surge, leading to an increase in preventable child deaths.
