SUPPORT CHILDREN IN GAZA

Right To Play has worked in the West Bank since 2003 and in Gaza since 2009. In 2022, we reached 119,549 children in Gaza and the West Bank. Our work in the region ensures that children have safe, inclusive learning environments that support their education and psychosocial well-being.

We are committed to supporting the psychosocial and educational needs of affected children and youth and we are working in coordination with the Education in Emergencies Cluster and local agencies to ensure that we are able to respond to children’s needs when it is safe to do so. We anticipate that the psychosocial and educational needs of children and youth will be significant.

Donations to our Children’s Emergency Fund will allow Right To Play to respond wherever the need is greatest, including Gaza, the West Bank and neighbouring countries affected by the crisis.
