The situation in Gaza is critical, and every day counts for families struggling to survive

Deaths in Gaza increase every day. Because of bombardments, hunger and diseases. Drinking water and food are in short supply. There’s nowhere safe to go.
People are sleeping in crowded spaces, in tents or in the street. This is a humanitarian catastrophe.

« Beyond immediate measures to save lives, it’s the structural causes of this violence that need to be addressed: the expansion of illegal settlements, the blockade on Gaza, the occupation that has lasted for over half a century. »
