The toll on mothers and children of Gaza

Recent data reveals a harrowing truth: as of mid December, at least 18,800 with almost 12,000 women and children have been killed in Gaza, representing a majority of all casualties.

In this conflict, children, some only a few months old, are not mere bystanders but direct victims, with an average of 420 children killed or injured daily​.

In total, 1.1 million women and girls are in dire need of humanitarian assistance, including food, shelter, water, and sanitation.
