Earlier this year, a ceasefire was declared in Gaza, bringing a temporary pause to the devastating conflict that had been escalating since 2023. This crucial moment of hope allowed for the safe return of some of the hostages and the delivery of critical humanitarian aid to those impacted by the war.
Since 7 October 2023, the human toll has been unimaginable:
44,383 Palestinians and 1,139 Israelis have lost their lives.
1.9 million people were displaced.
2.2 million people faced acute food insecurity.
However, thanks to the generosity of our supporters, our partners have helped provide lifesaving support to those in need. Your support is helping to address these urgent needs.
With the support of your donations and the partnership of Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the following aid has reached the people of Gaza:
Over 937,000 people received food assistance through ready-to-eat food parcels.
Over 156,200 people received bedding, clothing, kitchen items, blankets, and other essential supplies.
Over 123,000 people received emergency hygiene kits.
The scale of destruction in Gaza is overwhelming. Approximately 40 million tons of rubble cover the land, including farmland contaminated with explosives. The economy has been shattered, and the greatest threats to survivors are hunger, disease, and a lack of medical care.
Despite these immense challenges, the delivery of aid has provided help to those who need it most. Recovery will take years, but with your continued support, we can help rebuild lives and restore hope. Every meal, every blanket, and every medical treatment delivered to Gaza’s people is a tangible act of compassion, made possible by you.
Together, we are making a lasting difference. Your generosity helps families rebuild and provides them with the strength to face the future. Thank you for standing with the people of Gaza during this difficult time.
