Nearly 2 Million People in Need of Food, Healthcare, and Basic Services
After nearly 500 days of war in Gaza, a ceasefire has been reached. Since conflict broke out on Oct. 7, 2023, almost 46,000 Palestinians and 1,600 Israelis have died. Nearly 2 million people in Gaza — roughly the entire population — have been displaced.
The entire region is facing deadly food insecurity and has little or no access to basic hygiene, clean water, protection, or shelter. For nearly a year and a half, there has been no safe space in Gaza, and survivors have endured months of harsh winter, airstrikes, landmines, bombardments, and critical levels of malnutrition.
Action Against Hunger has been working in Gaza for more than 20 years. Since October 2023, the organization’s teams have had to focus all their efforts on scaling up the emergency response under unprecedented working conditions. In Gaza alone, Action Against Hunger increased its staff from 60 to 130 humanitarian workers. These efforts have enabled Action Against Hunger to help more than one million people in Gaza and the West Bank through activities to prevent and treat malnutrition among women and children, including through the distribution of meals and clean water, support to farmers and small businesses, the production of fresh food and vegetables in Gaza.
But we’re ready to achieve so much more.
During the ceasefire in Gaza, we will be ready to scale up our emergency response. Any money raised will help us to deliver vital aid as quickly as possible.
