Report by UNICEF covering conditions affecting Palestinian children in Gaza in the early months of the October 2025 ceasefire, with findings on mental health, hygiene, nutrition, disabilities and amputations, and various other indicators of child welfare. The assessment documents the continued deterioration of child welfare despite the ceasefire, including the persistence of acute malnutrition, the scale of war-induced disability among children, and the psychological impact of displacement, loss, and ongoing violence on Gaza's child population. Essential for child rights researchers, humanitarian practitioners, and public health scholars working on the impact of the War on Gaza on children, as UNICEF's comprehensive child-focused assessment at the moment of the ceasefire captures both acute emergency indicators and the longer-term developmental consequences of more than 2 years of siege and bombardment for Gaza's children.
