The Gaza Strip is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels. Since October 7th, over 30,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 70,000 injured. 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.
How is IDRF helping?
Thanks to your overwhelming support, and our extensive history in Gaza, our teams have been able to provide civilians with:
Fresh Food parcels
Food Parcels
Daily water trucking services
Hygiene Kits
Medical Supplies
Psycho-social support
However, no amount of aid is enough.
In the midst of relentless aggression, the needs in Gaza continue to mount by the minute. Over 2 million civilians lack access to clean water, food, medical care, and safe places to seek shelter. With your continued support, we can bring a glimmer of hope to the people of Gaza.

Canadian charity says aid truck bombed in Gaza in ‘targeted’ attack
A Canadian humanitarian organization says its primary water aid truck was bombed in Gaza and is calling on the federal government to mount a full investigation into what it believes was a “targeted” incident.
The International Development and Relief Foundation (IDRF), a registered non-profit based in Toronto, told CBC News the truck was bombed in the early hours of Wednesday morning and that no one was hurt in the incident.
Zeina Osman, the IDRF’s director of impact, said the bombing is the first involving a Canadian aid truck during the current war in the Gaza, but wouldn’t say outright if the organization believes the Israeli military was behind the bombing.
Gaza PsychoSocial Support
Amidst the rubble, our team is working hard, bringing a smile to children’s faces.
These are children who have faced more than we could ever imagine — violence, displacement, grief, hunger.
In addition to food and water aid, we are providing them with psychosocial support, to support them through this crisis.
