UNICEF is the United Nations Children’s Fund, working in the world’s toughest places to reach the most disadvantaged children and adolescents – and to protect the rights of every child, everywhere.

One of the world’s largest providers of vaccines, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, safe water and sanitation, quality education and skill building, HIV prevention and treatment for mothers and babies, and the protection of children and adolescents from violence and exploitation. Before, during and after humanitarian emergencies, UNICEF is on the ground, bringing life-saving help and hope to children and families.

The Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC) is a humanitarian organisation and part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It provides emergency relief, disaster response, and health services in Egypt and internationally.

ERC will be critical in procurement and delivery of essential relief items to support children and families affected by the ongoing crisis in Gaza. This includes sourcing and distributing essential goods such as food, medical, and WASH supplies, ensuring that these vital resources reach the most vulnerable populations. With its established presence in the region and partnerships with local and international organisations, ERC is equipped to navigate logistical challenges, ensuring that relief efforts are timely and impactful, particularly for children and families facing dire conditions.

Through UNICEF, funds will support child-focused recovery interventions, including health services, temporary learning spaces, psychosocial support for displaced children and families. These interventions are guided by assessments on the ground and aim to restore essential services, protect children’s wellbeing, and support families as they rebuild their lives.

Through the Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC), funds will support the provision of tents and temporary shelters for displaced families, the deployment of mobile health clinics to improve access to basic healthcare, and the establishment of community kitchens to provide hot meals and support community self-reliance. ERC’s strategic position at the Egypt border and strong logistical networks enable timely and effective delivery of aid in a highly constrained environment.

Together, these partnerships ensure a coordinated, accountable, and holistic response that addresses both urgent needs and early recovery priorities due to the crisis in Gaza.

RLAF carefully selects its partners based on their good records, credibility, expertise, and ability to make a significant impact on the ground. By collaborating with multiple organizations—such as UNICEF and Egyptian Red Crescent —we leverage their strengths as well as ground knowledge. Partnering with organizations that specialize in different aspects of humanitarian relief maximizes our efforts and ensures that the resources we provide are used in the most effective way possible.

The donation period will be held from Thursday, 8 January to Tuesday, 31 March 2026.

The donation will be used for tents and shelters, deploy mobile health clinics to improve access to basic healthcare, and establish community kitchens to provide hot meals and support community self-reliance. UNICEF’s interventions will complement these efforts through recovery efforts – including health services, learning spaces and psychosocial support for displaced children and families and other priority needs based on ground assessments.

For the Aid for Gaza 2026 campaign, RLAF follows a structured and transparent process to ensure accountability and proper stewardship of all donations received.

RLAF obtained the necessary fundraising permit from the Commissioner of Charities (CoC). When the campaign ends, all the funds raised will be audited to verify and certify the total amount raised, ensuring that all transactions are accurately recorded. The audited report is subsequently submitted to the Commissioner of Charities in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Following the audit, the funds will be disbursed to RLAF’s appointed partners, UNICEF and the Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC), to support recovery and rehabilitation interventions for the people of Gaza. These partners will provide regular updates on programme implementation and the utilisation of funds. Where operationally feasible, RLAF will also participate in monitoring or field visits with its partners to observe project implementation and assess the impact of the assistance provided.

This process ensures that donations are managed responsibly and channelled effectively to support families and children affected by the crisis in Gaza.

The Aid for Gaza 2026 campaign runs over a longer period to reflect the sustained humanitarian needs in Gaza and the displaced people to support recovery and rehabilitation efforts alongside urgent relief. The extended duration allows more time for community participation, broader outreach, and meaningful contributions.

The funds will be transferred immediately after all collections have been collated and accounted for. It is also subject to clearance from the CoC to ensure good governance and accountability.

UNICEF’s primary focus is to ensure life-saving supplies reach children in need such as winter clothes, blankets, WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) supplies, medical supplies including vaccines, hygiene kits, health kits, paediatrician medicine, food supplies including RUTF (Ready-To-Use Therapeutic Food) and bottled water, other nutrition supplies and education support. 

UNICEF’s measures to safeguard supplies include careful planning of supply movement and close coordination with service providers and implementing partners to ensure that supplies reach children as quickly as possible.
