This article explores the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where nearly 60,000 children—about 6% of the child population—have lost one or both parents during the ongoing war, turning orphanhood into a widespread, collective reality rather than an individual tragedy. It highlights how the destruction of infrastructure, repeated displacement, and the collapse of health, education, and social services have left these children without stable care systems, forcing many into adult roles or leaving them in situations of extreme vulnerability, including cases of injured children with no surviving family.
