Since October 2023, Israeli forces have killed more than 59,200 Palestinians in Gaza, including over 17,900 children, and injured at least 143,000. Israel’s atrocities in Gaza, including indiscriminate bombardment, total blockade, systematic attacks against healthcare, and mass forced displacement are all being committed with total impunity.

• After months without any aid able to enter, Gaza faces a critical risk of famine.
• One in three Palestinians in Gaza going days without food
• More than 320,000 young children are at risk of acute malnutrition
• 470,000 people in Gaza face starvation – 22% of the population.
• Since the launch of new aid distribution sites in May, mass casualty events have rapidly increased. 

Despite these enormous challenges, we remain committed to providing lifesaving healthcare and humanitarian aid to Palestinians. Since Israel’s collapse of the temporary ceasefire on 18 March 2025, Palestinians have experienced renewed bombardment and the systematic denial of aid, including food, water and medical supplies. With our partners, we have responded by:

Supporting Gaza’s health system

Working to restore and expand healthcare in the most difficult conditions:

• Hospitals: Supporting major facilities including Nasser Hospital, Al Shifa Hospital, the Patient’s Friends Benevolent Society (PFBS) Hospital, Al Sahaba Hospital, Al Ahli Arab Hospital, and the European Gaza Hospital
• Medical points: Delivering primary healthcare, sexual and reproductive health services, nutrition support, and breast cancer detection
• Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) deployed to treat injuries and infections among Palestinians. The EMTs have conducted 7,593 consultations and 1,587 lifesaving surgeries at major hospitals including Al Aqsa and Nasser

Addressing malnutrition and water access

• Nutrition: Screened over 102,000 people, including children, pregnant women, and post-surgical patients, with referrals for urgent care
• Clean water: Delivered more than 12 million litres of drinking water to 32 displacement camps

Supporting people with disabilities

• Provided some 1,500 assistive devices to people with disabilities, including wheelchairs, walkers and medical mattresses
• Continuing rehabilitation services at Nasser Hospital, even amid Israeli military attacks and forced displacement
• Supporting Atfaluna Society for Deaf Children with audiology screenings and hearing aids

Mental health support 

• Offering psychiatric care, psychotherapy, and mental health medications at Al Aqsa Hospital
• In Al Aqsa Hospital’s busy emergency room, offering psychological first aid to patients, their families, and frontline health workers – helping people cope with acute trauma in real time

Gender-based violence (GBV) 

• Working with partners to provide case management, psychosocial care, legal aid, and clinical services for survivors of GBV

Please give generously, your ongoing support has allowed us to support Palestinians with critical medical and food aid. We need continued support and donations, so that we are in a position to procure aid in advance. This allows us to get in aid when opportunities arise.
