60,000 Orphans in Gaza: Life for Relief and Development (LIFE) Releases Inspiring New Song to Raise Awareness

Humanitarian Music Campaign Calls on People Worldwide to Listen, Share, and Turn Compassion into Action

SOUTHFIELD, MI, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Today, an estimated 60,000 orphans in Gaza have lost one or both parents. Many now face extreme hunger, repeated displacement, limited access to education, unsafe drinking water, and the daily uncertainty of survival. Countless children are recovering from injuries without family members by their side, while others are navigating profound grief and trauma in overcrowded displacement camps.

The crisis extends far beyond physical survival. Research consistently shows that prolonged exposure to conflict significantly increases the risk of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among children.

“Compassion begins when we allow ourselves to truly see another person’s reality,” said Dr. Hany Saqr, CEO of Life for Relief and Development. “This song is an invitation to pause and reflect on the lives of thousands of children who deserve the same opportunities, safety, and love that we would want for any child. When awareness grows, so does the possibility for meaningful action.”

For 33 years, Life for Relief and Development (LIFE) has served the people of Gaza. Since 2019, LIFE has worked to ensure that orphan sponsorship extends far beyond financial assistance. Every sponsored child receives comprehensive support designed to protect not only their immediate survival but also their opportunity to learn, grow, and build a future.

Despite operating in one of the world’s most challenging humanitarian environments, LIFE has built one of the most comprehensive orphan sponsorship programs possible inside Gaza. Through solar-powered water filtration systems, sponsored children continue to receive clean drinking water even during power outages. Fully equipped tent schools staffed by qualified teachers help preserve access to education for thousands of children despite repeated displacement. Nutritious food, healthcare, psychosocial support, weather-appropriate clothing, and emergency shelter work together to provide children with stability, dignity, and the essential support every child needs to thrive.

The 60,000 Orphans in Gaza campaign seeks to sponsor as many orphaned children as possible while encouraging people everywhere to become advocates for children in Gaza. LIFE has already sponsored more than 4,000 Gaza orphan children, but thousands more are still waiting.

LIFE’s current humanitarian music campaign encourages people around the world to share the song, sponsor Gaza orphans, and help amplify the voices of children affected by crisis.

“There’s a child dreaming tonight,
Holding on to a little light.
Waiting for someone to care,
Waiting to know someone’s there…”

These opening lyrics from Life for Relief and Development’s new humanitarian song, “60,000 Orphans in Gaza,” set the tone for a campaign that seeks to transform music into awareness and ultimately action.

Art, in all its forms, has the unique ability to express emotions, humanity, and lived experiences behind the news, allowing people to connect with stories that might otherwise feel distant. In doing so, it builds bridges between people from different walks of life, helping us see one another more clearly and inspiring empathy.

Life for Relief and Development (LIFE) recently released “60,000 Orphans in Gaza,” a humanitarian song composed to raise awareness of the thousands of Gaza orphan children whose childhoods have been forever changed by crisis. Through one song-led campaign, LIFE hopes to inspire people around the world to share the music, start conversations, and turn awareness into meaningful action. While LIFE hopes supporters will sponsor an orphan in Gaza or donate to Gaza humanitarian relief efforts, the organization also believes that spreading awareness is itself an act of compassion that can inspire others to help. “60,000 Orphans in Gaza” was written for children whose voices deserve to reach far beyond the borders of Gaza. LIFE invites supporters around the world to listen, share the song, and, for those who are able, help write the next chapter of a child’s story through orphan sponsorship.
