Psychosocial Support for Children in Gaza:

Resilient Minds Program

Photos from IMRelief Resilient Minds Events – Q1/Q2 2025

October 2025 – Every child deserves to learn, play, and build joyful memories – even in the most difficult times. Since 2024, IMRelief has reached over 3,500 children through the Resilient Minds Program, offering play-based learning, clown and mascot shows, music events, and creative sharing sessions that bring moments of joy, healing, and hope to children in Gaza.

Children are given the chance to write their diaries, address their feelings about missing friends and family, and process the grief of being constantly on the move. They also learn new languages and skills, share meals, and dream about what they want to become when they grow up.

The program has been active since 2024 and continues to bring new events whenever the security situation allows, giving children rare moments of safety, laughter, and imagination. Your ongoing support makes our rapid response possible – so that whenever there is a short window of calm, our teams can quickly resume operation.

We are deeply grateful to our partners on the ground, and to the local schools hosting our events, for making this work possible. Together, we bring healing moments to children who need them most.

October 2025 — The ongoing restricted access to aid in Gaza has created a serious humanitarian crisis, with baby milk formula being critically scarce.

With the dedicated support of our donors and on-the-ground team, IMRelief has successfully delivered lifesaving baby milk formula and essential infant care supplies to hundreds of families facing severe shortages.

While the broader humanitarian crisis continues to unfold, IMRelief has remained laser-focused on addressing one of the most urgent needs—infant nutrition. Through swift coordination with hospitals and shelters, IMRelief has ensured that babies in desperate need are receiving proper nourishment, despite widespread supply disruptions.

Facets of Gaza Baby Malnutrition Crisis:

• Shortages and Malnutrition: The lack of essential supplies, including baby formula, contributes to a rise in malnutrition, particularly among infants and young children.
• Severe Risks for Infants: Babies are suffering from severe allergic reactions, face life-threatening challenges without access to specialized formula.
• Limited Stocks: UNICEF reported that they only have weeks of infant formula left to help a small number of babies in Gaza.
• Difficulties for Mothers: Malnourished mothers are struggling to produce enough breast milk, compounding the reliance on formula.

While we cannot undo the two-year long devastation that has torn through Gaza—leaving countless families killed, injured, or missing—we can work tirelessly to ease one of its most heartbreaking consequences: the disappearance of infant nutrition. With food systems and clean water infrastructure shattered, access to baby formula has become a matter of survival.

It is with great solace and hope that IMRelief welcomes the announcement of the ceasefire in Gaza on January 15, 2025. Our team on the ground is now able to resume efforts to alleviate the suffering of the hunger-stricken population and deliver critical humanitarian aid.

While we unfortunately cannot undo the 15-month-long disaster that struck Gaza, leaving entire families killed, injured, or deemed missing; we can at least work very hard to mitigate the impact of its widespread destruction of food supply and critical water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure.

More than 656,000 Palestinians have crossed from the south to the north of Gaza, and are expected to return to their homes, amid a destruction of approximately 55% of the region’s infrastructure, and less than half of the enclave’s hospitals partially operational.

IMRelief is currently carrying out food distributions in Gaza, with the goal of reaching 10,000 people. With your support, we are able to deliver both family-size staple food packages, and set up and supply local kitchens to offer hot meals for individuals.

HUNGER – By February 2024, the entire population in Gaza will be in crisis phase (IPC 3) or above —the largest share of any population facing such severe food insecurity ever monitored by the IPC initiative. (World Bank)

ENERGY, WATER – The blockade in Gaza has cut off 2 million civilians from access to food, electricity, and fuel. 80% of them (1.6 million) were forced to flee their homes, leading to overcrowded shelters, and massive strain on any available water and sanitation services. 

PUBLIC HEALTH DISASTER – The health care system has completely collapsed with overcrowded hospitals and few medical supplies, according to the World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders. Only around 16 out of 36 hospitals in Gaza are “minimally or partially functioning” as of January 2024.

The crisis is exacerbated by a significant shortage of medical staff and lack of essential medical supplies. The WHO expects that more people will die of disease if the health system and basics of life are not restored.

The escalation of violence has caused Gaza to experience suffering from multiple disasters at once: hunger, thirst, lack of sanitation, disease, and serious threat to life. 

While issues related to the delivery of humanitarian aid persist, IMRelief is able to work with partners on the ground to deliver the following per giving levels:

• $100 Food for ten families
• $240 Clean water for ten families
• $350 Life essential medicine for ten patients
• $500 Family survival pack (blankets, mattresses and utilities) for three families
