The Gaza Strip is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels. Since October 7th, over 40,000 Palestinians have been killed. Almost 70% of victims are women and children.
The entire population of 2.2 million Gazans requires urgent humanitarian assistance. Electricity blackouts coupled with severe water and food shortages have created a healthcare and sanitation crisis. 1.6 million Gazans have been internally displaced and face severe overcrowding, lack of privacy, and unsafe conditions. This threatens vulnerable groups like children, pregnant women, the disabled, and the elderly.
They need your emergency support now more than ever.
