In response to the deepening humanitarian
crisis in Gaza, Action Against Hunger is launching an
emergency
appeal.
We are deeply concerned by the escalating violence in Gaza and Israel. The number of civilians killed and injured continues to rise. And the violence doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime
soon. A catastrophic humanitarian crisis is unfolding before us.
The blockade of Gaza is restricting access to water, food, fuel and medicine – making the situation even worse for the civilian population. Without fuel, Gaza’s sole power station has completely
shut down. Hospitals only have a few days’ fuel left. Gaza is going dark.
The UN estimates that more than 400,000 people have been internally displaced in Gaza. With all border crossings closed or destroyed, there’s no escape.
We’ve been working in Gaza since 2005. While our programmes have been temporarily suspended to protect our staff and their families, our teams are ready to resume our activities as soon
as it is safe to do so.
Vital humanitarian support is needed now more than ever. But we need your help to meet the needs of thousands of people in Gaza.
Any donations will go towards helping protect vulnerable communities in Gaza. Funds raised over and above the needs of these programmes will go to our life-saving work and used where help
is needed most.
