The humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels, with unprecedented suffering, famine, and displacement. Over 2.3 million Palestinians—half of them children—face starvation, violence, and a near-total collapse of essential services. Below is a summary of the crisis and how your donations can deliver life-saving aid.

Famine and Starvation: A Man-Made Disaster

• 93% of Gaza’s population faces acute food insecurity, with 1.95 million people struggling to find even one meal a day.
• Less than 300,000 daily meals are prepared in community kitchens, far below the need.
• Children are dying from malnutrition. A UNICEF report warns that Gaza is now the “deadliest place on earth to be a child”

How Donations Save Lives

Organisations on the ground are working tirelessly but need urgent support:

• Food and Water: Daily distribution of approximately 85,000 litres of clean water and 2,000 hot meals is ongoing to support affected communities.
• Shelter: Over 60 temporary caravan homes and 1,690 tents have been provided to house displaced families in need of safe shelter.
• Local hospitals are critically short on supplies. Support is being provided for prosthetics, cancer treatment, and mental health care for children.
• Child Protection: Emergency response teams are delivering psychosocial support and emergency kits, reaching over 1.3 million people, with a focus on children’s safety and well-being.
