Gaza-Israel crisis

With escalation of violence between Hamas and Israeli armed forces reaching a breaking point, thousands of children’s lives are being destroyed.

Your gift supports Plan International’s emergency response in Gaza and Israel’s neighboring countries — Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan — where we are responding to mass displacement and providing relief like safe spaces for children, mental health and psychosocial support, education for children and menstrual health kits for girls. Your gift also supports Plan’s work with national and local partners to scale up emergency response in Gaza.

Syria and Türkiye earthquakes

Before the earthquakes in 2023, more than 15 million people in Syria were already in need of humanitarian aid.

Two massive earthquakes, followed by more than 100 aftershocks, have created ruin across Syria and Türkiye. Syria, in particular, is still dealing with the aftermath of this tragedy. The country was already grappling with 10 years of war and 90% of families are living in poverty. We’re working together with local partners in Syria, using your kind donations to provide girls and their families with urgently-needed resources, like food, clean water and shelter.

War in Ukraine

More than 10 million people from Ukraine have been forced to flee their homes — mostly children and women.

Since the start of the conflict in Ukraine, girls and their families have seriously struggled to stay safe. With your support, we’re working in Ukraine, as well as neighboring Moldova, Poland and Romania, to keep girls protected from gender-based violence, provide shelter for refugee families and deliver critical mental health support for children. And, we are among the few organizations supporting girls’ menstrual health with period products.

Global hunger crisis

Every 60 seconds, a child is being pushed into deadly malnutrition.

The world is in the grip of one of the most devastating hunger crises ever seen. And when food is scarce in many places around the world, girls eat less — and last.

We’re responding to this crisis across Africa and in Haiti, providing lifesaving relief for children and families, including food and water kits, school meals and treatment for malnutrition.
