Gaza emergency

Over 2 million people, including 1.7 million Palestine refugees, are facing starvation and death while the world watches.

As of April 19, Deadly Israeli military airstrikes have killed more than 34,012 people, with reports saying 70% are women and children. Families are being erased and displaced en masse with more than a million sheltering in UNRWA facilities.

Food, water, and other essential items will soon be depleted. We call for an immediate ceasefire and a full lifting of the humanitarian siege. Give now to save lives in Gaza.
