Gaza is facing a catastrophic health and hunger crisis threatening the lives of over 2 million people. People are dying of preventable deaths as truckloads of food, medicine and medical supplies from humanitarian organizations sit across the border awaiting entry.
Americares continues to play a critical role in Gaza and other emergencies around the world by funding desperately needed health services for children and adults, including medical clinics and mental health support.
Since October 2023, we have provided 35 tons of essential medicine and medical supplies to Gaza, including enough medicine to fill more than 350,000 prescriptions, and supported medical care for over 43,000 patients in Gaza. And we’re ready to mobilize additional shipments of medical aid if border access improves.
