In the local area, the ceasefire has not led to improved safety for children in Gaza. A significant number of children have been reported killed since October 2025. Many children in the area are in need of psychosocial support.

Despite facing severe access restrictions and supply shortages, UNICEF has been providing essential services to the community. This includes safe water and support for health, nutrition, and education. The organization has also established Learning Centres to support children's wellbeing and learning.

Further details on the humanitarian situation in the local area are available from UNICEF's State of Palestine Humanitarian Situation Report.
