John, families are desperate to feed their children but there is simply not enough food in Gaza right now. Everyone in Gaza is hungry. More than half a million are facing famine-like conditions.
Heartbreakingly, there are reports of children dying of starvation.
John, there's still time to make a matched gift and rush 2x the aid to Gaza and other families caught in crisis around the world. Please use this personalized link to send 2x the food, medical supplies and other essential aid right now: https://go.rescue.org/e/937243/n-2x-match-dynamic-content-408/b63ym/892237446/h/StmbitivOg-TjPCr_Kxjf9cD0_h1Z_-_Ff3pY8LB_zg
CRISIS IN GAZA
Children are bearing the brunt of the horrific destruction in Gaza. More than 12,000 children are dead and thousands more are missing.
Ramadan has begun and it should be a time when families can come together to observe the holy month and break bread together, but this has become near impossible given the shortage of food.
In addition, the medical system in Gaza has suffered almost total collapse. Medical care and medicines are almost as scarce as food. The IRC has focused on medical care from the beginning of our response in Gaza. Together with our partner Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) we’ve deployed teams of trauma doctors, surgeons, pediatricians, and water and sanitation experts to provide care. The IRC has also procured/released 47 metric tons of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies.
Getting aid to Gaza is challenging, but your support does make a difference. The IRC is supporting partners to deliver food and provide critical services in emergency shelters including health services, cash assistance, mental health/psychological support and other support for children and caregivers.
For example, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has partnered with Welfare Association (Taawon) partners to deliver fresh food and other essential aid in emergency shelters in Gaza.
The IRC also plans to scale its programming in Gaza as soon as a ceasefire is in place. The IRC will work directly and through partners to provide nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene, healthcare, and protection particularly focused on separated children.
But we can't do any of it without generous donations which is why we're appealing to you right now.
Please, John, in a crisis every moment counts. Please use your personalized link and rush an emergency gift for children and families in crisis now: https://go.rescue.org/e/937243/n-2x-match-dynamic-content-408/b63ym/892237446/h/StmbitivOg-TjPCr_Kxjf9cD0_h1Z_-_Ff3pY8LB_zg
Thank you.
