Gaza flooding crisis: Vulnerable children need your support
Children in Gaza are living through a profound humanitarian crisis. They have been deprived of food, water, health care, education, and safety. Thousands of homes and schools have been destroyed, and many children are living in unstable, unsafe conditions.
Hundreds of thousands of children have been out of school—some for more than 20 months—losing access to the learning, protection, and stability that education provides. Many are experiencing depression, anxiety, fear, and deep emotional distress as a result of ongoing violence and displacement.
This crisis has become even more critical.
In November 2025, heavy flooding damaged many temporary learning spaces in Gaza, leaving structures unstable, and increasingly unsafe, especially as winter approaches. These are essential spaces where children are able to learn, play, and receive psychosocial support. Without urgent support, flooding and cold temperatures will further erode children’s access to safe learning environments and disrupt their emotional recovery.
Right To Play, along with our partners Tamer, are working to restore and reinforce temporary learning centres using materials that are realistically available in the local market. Your donation could help provide urgent items such as:
- Wooden pallets or sand elevation for drainage
- Plastic sheeting and tarpaulins
- Locally available insulation rolls or foam boards
- Heavy-duty carpeting or protective floor mats
- Sandbags or ventilation solutions for sealing and stabilizing edges
- Safe kerosene or electric heaters
- Minor structural reinforcement where feasible
These supports help ensure children can return to safe learning, stability, and play.
Your donation could help us respond. Children cannot wait.
Your generosity will raise urgently needed funds that help children recover from trauma, return to learning, and reclaim their sense of childhood.
Play creates safety. It builds confidence. It helps children begin again.
That’s why your gift matters.
Donate today and change a child's life.
