As hostilities have resumed in Gaza, it is civilians who pay the highest price. Families suffer countless indignities, living with the sound of explosions night and day, knowing hostilities are taking place nearby, and constantly fearing for their children.
The impact of this conflict is severe and will have long-term consequences. To address the urgent needs, we’re providing life-saving aid, including medicines and food and support for essential services like healthcare, water and sanitation, and electricity.
Your generosity is crucial in enabling us to reach people affected by this devastating crisis. Please give now to stand up for our shared humanity.
