John, I wanted to personally reach out to supporters like you about the latest on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The images and testimonies leave no room for doubt. What we are witnessing is a man-made catastrophe—a humanitarian hellscape unfolding in real time.

We, at the International Rescue Committee (IRC) warned that the blockade on supplies would cause a life-threatening crisis on a huge scale. That has now happened. There is no justification for this.

John, children in Gaza are not just hungry. They are starving to death. Your compassion is truly needed now more than ever. Please, rush an emergency gift now when it will go 2X as far to deliver clean water, nutrition and cash assistance to families in Gaza who have reached a breaking point.

Our teams in Gaza report families living on lentil water and herbs. In some areas, children share a single cucumber for a full day—or stop seeking aid because they're too weak to walk. Their bodies are shutting down, immune systems collapsing and organs failing.

And still, despite the challenges, the IRC and our Palestinian partners continue to deliver lifesaving aid. But we urgently need your help to scale up our response.

John, our teams in Gaza are exhausted—delivering water, nutrition and emergency care while facing the same hunger and relentless threats to their lives and that of their families. They are not just witnesses to this crisis; they are living it.

The IRC currently has several tons of lifesaving supplies ready to enter Gaza. Enough to treat thousands of people, support a health system that is collapsing But the supplies sit idle while hospitals across Gaza fall into ruin and children die of starvation.

The solution is tragically simple: We need open land crossings and unfettered humanitarian access immediately. Gaza must be flooded with aid, not sprinkled with symbolism.

John, your compassion is a lifeline for families in Gaza. Will you give today—when your gift will go 2X as far—to support our emergency response and help us deliver the aid Gaza's children so desperately need?

In the coming days, thousands of Gaza's children will either be rescued—or allowed to die. That is the choice before us. We are committed to helping and saving as many lives as we can. But we cannot do it without you.
