The ceasefire in Gaza offers hope. And we’re ready to scale up our operations. Families need humanitarian aid like food, water and medicine now.

After more than two years of displacement and extreme violence, Palestinians are still suffering.  Famine has been declared and 500,000 people in the Gaza Strip are facing starvation, extreme poverty and death.

Despite impossible conditions, we’re still in Gaza – even as our own teams face extreme hunger. Here’s how we’re supporting the emergency response:

  • We’re distributing clean water at 15 locations across northern Gaza, with eight trucks per day reaching the area
  • Since the start of the ceasefire, through our partners we’ve reached over 30,000 children and pregnant and breastfeeding women with therapeutic food to prevent malnutrition
  • We’ve got over 2,000 food parcels in Jordan ready to cross the border
  • We’ve delivered over 944,000 meals since the start of the conflict

Will you make an emergency gift to help families in Gaza get the emergency aid they need? Most people give an average of £35.65.

Why Gaza needs emergency aid

Homes, hospitals, schools, and markets in Gaza have been destroyed. Everything families need to survive is gone. And people in are relying on aid just to get by.

Across Gaza, child malnutrition has increased 700% since October 2023. We treated over 430 malnourished children in July and August.

It's not too late to prevent further loss of life. Your donation today could be a lifeline for someone in Gaza.

Hear from families in Gaza

Families are going days – even weeks – with no food. We asked people in Gaza when they last had a meal. This is what they told our team:

“I have two children and a wife. The last time we had a meal, which was an eggplant salad, was fifteen days ago. It was a blessing.”

“I have a wife and child. The last time we had a meal was a few days ago when some vegetables were distributed around the camp.”

“I have a family of seven. The last time we had a real full meal was a week ago. It was fish.”

You can help a family in Gaza eat today.

The impact on pregnant women and mothers in Gaza

  • Over 25% of pregnant and breastfeeding women screened in July were malnourished.
  • Malnutrition carries risks for both mother and baby, including premature birth, low birth weight and maternal death.
  • At least 150,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women and 300,000 children under 5 need life-saving supplements.


One of our staff members in Deir al-Balah said: “Pregnant and breastfeeding women face double the risk: exhausted bodies, harsh hunger, and a severe lack of essential health and nutrition support.”Lack of food and proper nutrition are putting lives at risk.
