Friend, as mass starvation spreads across Gaza, our colleagues and the children and families we serve are facing unbearable hunger and fatigue.
The scale of devastation in Gaza is staggering, and the images I’ve seen will haunt me forever. Parents, children, and humanitarian aid workers are going days or even weeks without a single meal. Doctors are fainting while operating. Aid workers can barely walk. And without them, who will care for people in Gaza?
Meanwhile, literal tons of lifesaving aid are being blocked just outside the border, unable to reach the people who need it most.

Our teams are witnessing a surge in acute malnutrition. Children are too weak to stand. Older adults are collapsing from dehydration. Deadly diseases are spreading rapidly in overcrowded shelters.
With supplies now depleted, aid workers are joining civilians in food lines — only to be targeted and killed. The UN reports that more than 1,000 people have been killed while seeking food aid. The health consequences are devastating.

There's absolutely no safe place in Gaza, there's no safety whatsoever. People keep moving from one area to the other, people have been displaced 5, 6, 10 times — and they're still dying. If they're not dying from bullets or missiles, they are dying from disease, they are dying from malnutrition. It’s tragic and heartbreaking. And it weighs heavily on my heart.
This is why Project HOPE is sounding the alarm, working with our partners and supporters like you, doing everything we can to call for an end to the aid blockade and provide relief, health, and HOPE to children in Gaza.
Because, like you, we believe everyone deserves HOPE, Friend.
With gratitude,
