“Unprecedented Humanitarian Catastrophe” in Gaza
In Gaza, over 100 days of relentless bombing and a total blockade have led to a humanitarian disaster for 2.3 million people. Widespread famine fears are mounting as unprecedented starvation hits the region.
23,968 killed
60,582 injured
7,780 children missing
1.9 million displaced
15 hospitals partially functioning
339 educational facilities damaged
625,000 students lack access to education
A total siege, deliberately cutting off residents from water, food, energy sources, medicine, and sanitation has been ongoing. The unprecedented assault has displaced over 85% of the population, half of them children. They require delivery of rapid, continuous, and massive aid to save lives now on the precipice of death. The people of Gaza desperately need your support. We are continuing to provide truckloads of aid, alongside hot meals, through the humanitarian corridor as it opens.
