Children run marathon to spotlight Gaza's growing orphan crisis

Hundreds of children participated in a marathon in Khanunis organized by International Networking for Humanitarian to raise awareness about the increasing number of orphaned children in Gaza due to the ongoing war. The event brings together families and volunteers to highlight the urgent need for support as thousands of children who have lost one or both parents rely on relatives, neighbors, or community networks for care. While local and international organizations continue to provide counseling and child protection services, the demand remains overwhelming, prompting organizers to call for sustained community solidarity and assistance.
