palestine
Over 20,000 Palestinian lives, mostly women and children, have been tragically lost in the recent escalation of violence in Gaza.
Maintaining Momentum
The needs in Gaza have only grown worse. For the sake of 2.2 million men, women and children, we have to maintain momentum.
Action For Humanity have been on the ground since 2021, providing assistance to support the needs of as many as possible.
OVERVIEW
Thousands more civilians endure life- threatening injuries; the toll is predicted to escalate as the onslaught of airstrikes continue. The situation is deteriorating at an alarming pace, with children bearing the heaviest burden of this devastation.
One of our staff members, Saed, who resides in Gaza, shared the following account with us:
"I witnessed five wars on Gaza since 2008. The previous wars are nothing compared to this one. There is no safe place in Gaza. Even the ambulances were targeted. Hospitals are being targeted. About 400,000 out of 2.2million Gazans fled their homes and took to schools as a refuge. Even some schools were targeted. No electricity for 6 days. No water for most of Gazans. The telecommunication infrastructure has collapsed. My kids and I sleep in one room so if my house is targeted we die together. The shelling is about 200m away from my house. I saw bodies, injuries, horrified kids and women. Gaza is now a place of death and horror".

Medical Relief
With your support, Action For Humanity assisted Al-Shifa hospital, the main hospital in Gaza, to recover after yet another military offensive in May and at the start of October 2023. The health system in Gaza is facing the dire consequences of the protracted emergency since the blockade started almost 16 years ago. The efforts to recover have been hindered by the lack of funding which impacted the zero-stock issue and the niche areas of care including emergency-related items.
According to reports from Gaza’s Ministry of Health, over 45% of essential drug items were reported as being at zero stock, alongside 19% of medical disposables. The ongoing closure on Gaza, frequent military attacks, and the influx of injuries have led to the deterioration of available health services in the area and a decline in their quality. With your donations, we will contribute to bridging the gaps in zero stock medical supplies through the procurement of medical disposables that are urgently needed by the Ministry of Health to enable the continuity of providing essential health services for the vulnerable population in Gaza.
TO DONATE VIA PAYPALOUR Response During the Gaza Crisis
Despite facing significant distribution challenges, we've successfully provided food vouchers and emergency kits to over 600 families in Gaza since the crisis began. We have also been supplying hospitals with vital medical resources.
In tandem with our emergency relief endeavours, our long-term projects in the region, including our photovoltaic solar system installed in 2022, continue to operate.
Our 2022-installed photovoltaic solar system is currently powering one of the few water systems ensuring uninterrupted access to safe water in Gaza. This system serves approximately 12,000 people. Access to clean water has been a longstanding critical issue in Palestine, and these solar-powered water solutions, requiring no electricity and relying solely on sunlight, are making a positive impact in the region.
Our team is actively preparing to distribute shelter vouchers. These vouchers aim to rehabilitate homes that have been devastated in recent escalations, focusing on restoring and securing affected residences. The initiative offers tailored repairs, complete reconstruction, safety enhancements, and essential utility restoration to those in need.
Please support our efforts for the people of Gaza.
Naima's Family Hope for a Brighter Tomorrow
Rising costs in Gaza are trapping families in poverty, exacerbating medical issues and making life harder for those who already find themselves struggling.
They’re joining over 500 other families in Massa village, northwest Syria. After living for the last five years in a makeshift shelter, this will be the first time that they live in a permanent, brick and mortar house.
