Gaza urgently needs humanitarian aid like food, water and medicine following announcement of the ceasefire.

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.

We’re still in Gaza – even as our own teams face extreme hunger. We’re supporting people in Gaza with:

  • Clean water: we’re sending 8 water trucks to 15 sites in northern Gaza daily.
  • Hot meals: we’ve partnering to deliver over 944,000 meals since the start of the conflict.
  • Malnutrition prevention: we’ve reached over 30,000 women and children with life-saving therapeutic food.
  • Food parcels: we’re preparing to send 2,000 food parcels to Gaza from Jordan.

Most supporters give an average of £35.65.

Join them by making a donation to help families in Gaza get the emergency aid they need.

“I saw a 7-year-old boy who weighed only 6.5kg. Prevention is key to stop children on the brink of starvation from falling into hunger.”

Give comfort and two meals for £25

This winter is expected to worsen conditions for 1.5 million Palestinians, with many children at risk of hypothermia.

We've served over 3,000 family-sized hot meals every 20 days and supported shelters in the West Bank with essential supplies.

Just £25 could provide one person in Gaza with a pillow, mattress, blanket and two meals for three days.

Give a food basket for £47

20% of households in Gaza aren't able to meet their nutritional needs and 30% of children under 5 are malnourished.

Palestinians are dying from hunger daily with no shelter or support.

Just £47 could provide a fresh food basket that keeps a family of six in Gaza nourished for two weeks.

Give two tanks of water for £103

Water trucking in Gaza 2025

Nearly a million Palestinians are getting less than 6 litres of water a day they can safely drink, clean and wash with and only 52% of people have proper sanitation facilities.

We've distributed 37 million litres of clean water in Gaza through our water trucking activities.

Just £103 could provide two tanks of clean water for families in need. One tank can hold up to 5,000 litres.

Why Gaza needs emergency aid

78% of buildings in Gaza have been destroyed - including homes, hospitals, food markets and schools. And despite the ceasefire, buildings are still being destroyed.

Everything Palestinians 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're currently treating almost 1,000 children and 500 women for acute malnutrition.

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:

“The last time we had a meal, which was an eggplant salad, was fifteen days ago. It was a blessing.”

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

“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.

Supporting pregnant women and mothers in Gaza

Almost 1 in 5 pregnant and breastfeeding women were malnourished in October. Malnutrition carries risks for both mother and baby, including premature birth, low birth weight and maternal death.

Since October 2025, our teams have:

  • screened over 1600 pregnant and breastfeeding women and 10,000 women for malnutrition
  • treated almost 1,000 children and 500 women for acute malnutrition.

One of our team supporting women and children in Deir al-Balah, Gaza said: “We're highly prioritising consistency in our interventions: consistent follow-up visits, continuous counselling, and constant support for vulnerable groups.”
