Save Lives In Gaza
The ongoing conflict in Gaza is gutwrenching with tragic consequences, with over 30,000 Palestinians losing their lives and more than 70,000 injured. The nightmarish conditions for the people in Gaza are in a harrowing reality, with an overwhelming 1.9 million people now displaced, forced to leave behind homes, belongings, and the comfort of stability, only to find themselves backed into a corner with no hope in sight.
In Gaza, food and clean water are alarmingly scarce. Many, especially pregnant women, mothers nursing infants, and young children struggle with severe malnutrition due to the shortage of basic necessities. The situation for these families is desperate—they don't even have the basics for human survival, they are forced to go with little to no food, and safe drinking water is nearly impossible to find.
The situation is made even more desperate by insufficient sanitation and hygiene facilities. With hospitals overwhelmed with bodies and living conditions cramped, infections and health issues spread quickly, further endangering vulnerable families who've already lost everything. These living conditions not only threaten physical health but also affect the mental well-being of families who once knew peace and security.
Through our dedicated partners at World Food Program (WFP), we're working tirelessly to provide hot meals, Food Parcels, and essential supplies to those enduring this catastrophe. Each meal we deliver offers comfort, each drop of clean water restores dignity, and each act of kindness gives hope amid immense hardship.
