As the situation in Gaza is gravely escalating, Action For Humanity is calling for the protection of human life and impeded access of humanitarian assistance to those impacted.

As the recent escalation in Gaza hits the two-month mark, we reach a new and unprecedented level of urgency and duty of care. The civilian population in Gaza have been subjected to intense bombardment, resulting in the destruction complete devastation of homes, hospitals, schools and essential infrastructure. More than 60% of Gaza’s housing units have been destroyed in the last seven weeks, according to local officials. Roads, hospitals, schools, bakeries and wheat mills have been heavily damaged or, in some cases, completely destroyed. While it has become difficult to keep count, more than 17,000 people have been killed in Gaza, most of them women and children, and more than 46,000 wounded, according to the Health Ministry.  

Action For Humanity are operating inside Gaza. We are doing all we can to operate under exceptionally difficult conditions, and every piece of support that reaches families in Gaza matters. But the current level of assistance that has been able to enter into Gaza via external crossings has been a drop in the ocean compared to what is urgently required. Only a lasting ceasefire can prevent further suffering and enable agencies like ours to address the immense scope and scale of this crisis.

We are providing emergency relief where we can, but we need to not only restore but significantly scale up the delivery of vital health, education, mental health, protection, and livelihoods services. This includes vital programming to support the unique and urgent needs of women, children, people with disabilities, older people, and others disproportionately affected by the crisis.
