Ten months of fighting has fuelled one of the world's worst hunger crises, with 4.9 million people, or 10 per cent of the population, experiencing "emergency" level hunger conditions.
Aid organisations are deeply concerned about the current and potential future suspension of funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
NGOs collectively urge the convening of the UN Security Council to pass a Resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire following the recent meeting addressing the threat of famine-induced conflict in Gaza.
Since the invasion in February 2022, over 6 million people have fled Ukraine, with 4 million internally displaced, while 7.3 million require food and livelihood support, and Action Against Hunger has supported more than 1.5 million individuals since then.
The charity joins a coalition of 62 NGOs urging MPs to support the motion for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. In Gaza, at least 28,576 Palestinians have been killed, while thousands remain missing under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
Five international NGOs have warned that water shortages will continue and Afghanistan’s humanitarian and development crises will deepen further.
Action Against Hunger warns that anything short of an immediate ceasefire and a massive increase in aid would be a historic failure to protect civilians, and calls on the international community to take all possible steps to achieve this goal.
We, the signatories of this statement, call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and a massive increase in humanitarian assistance to avoid famine in Gaza, and as the only way to comply with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2417.
Action Against Hunger has provided humanitarian support to more than 400,000 people in Turkey and Syria in the past year.
Renewed hostilities could jeopardise the safety of 21.6 million people already in need of humanitarian assistance, while also threatening their access to food and medical supplies.
New analysis by Action Against Hunger finds that countries dealing with crisis-level hunger received only 35% of hunger-related funding requested in 2023
Despite the enormous challenges, our teams in Gaza have been able to provide aid to 60,000 families (340,000 people) since the conflict began in October. With Gaza on the verge of a devastating famine, we are calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire to allow sustained humanitarian access to people in dire need.
