What is urgently needed in Gaza right now?
Emergency Humanitarian Relief: Project Background
Since the escalation of the conflict on October 7, 2023, the death toll among Palestinians in the Gaza Strip was announced to have exceeded 70,000 as of December 2025. Although a ceasefire agreement has been reached, the situation on the ground remains critically severe.
Voices from the Community
Here are some of the voices from those who received the relief goods:
"As the airstrikes continued, I felt my health deteriorating day by day, but receiving this support made me feel as if I had regained a renewed sense of hope."
"Hygiene products were scarce and so expensive that they were completely out of reach. Through this distribution, I was able to get what was necessary to keep my children clean and healthy. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart."
"The lack of hygiene supplies is severe; lice have spread through our and our children’s hair, and skin diseases have become a part of our daily lives. Thanks to this support, we can finally wash our clothes and take showers. We sincerely thank the donors who thought of us."
Moving Forward: Expanding Our Reach
Furthermore, access to safe drinking water remains extremely limited, placing countless people at risk of waterborne diseases. In response, we have begun providing safe drinking water to communities facing the greatest need.
With your support, we can expand this effort, improve access to clean water, promote hygiene practices, and provide food tailored to local needs.
Together with our partners, we will continue delivering urgently needed assistance to affected communities. We hope you will stand with us by making a donation to help save lives.
