It’s impossible to overstate the utter destruction that’s still going on in Gaza. Each day more people are injured, more children made orphans, more families forced to flee once again.

But after a year of devastation, much more is needed than simply food and water. While we continue to help families to meet their basic needs with nutritious meals and consistent clean water, we also ask that our supporters help us to provide hope for the future.

After more than a year of conflict, over 43,000 Palestinians have died – including more than 16,000 children. Almost 100,000 people have been wounded, and at least 10,000 are thought to be buried under rubble. Over the past year, many have died from secondary causes, such as sicknesses that went untreated because of the conflicts. One in five people in Gaza is facing starvation.
