"The images, testimonies and statistics from Gaza leave no room for doubt. Instead, they paint a clear picture of a humanitarian hellscape. Far from a natural disaster, what we are witnessing is a man-made catastrophe unfolding in real time… In the coming days, thousands of Gaza's children will either be rescued—or allowed to die. That is the choice before us."
—David Miliband, President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee

John, Gaza is not just experiencing hunger—it is enduring a slow, systematic death by starvation.

The entire population of Gaza is experiencing high levels of food insecurity, with malnutrition rising rapidly. With no place safe across the whole of Gaza, Palestinians are being pushed to the edge of survival.

The window to prevent mass death is rapidly closing. We must do everything in our power right now to help children and families survive.

The IRC is on the ground in Gaza providing clean drinking water, malnutrition treatment, sanitation and hygiene services and cash assistance to families. We are using our remaining stocks of life-saving therapeutic food to treat malnutrition in children under 5—but we need your support to get more life-saving aid to the border and deliver as much of it into Gaza as possible. Please rush a gift now to help save lives in Gaza and other crisis zones»

By the time famine is formally declared, people are already dying—and many more will continue to die unless Gaza is flooded with aid.

The evidence of widespread hunger, untreated malnutrition and rising mortality has been visible for weeks. As starvation spreads, families—including IRC staff themselves—are surviving on lentil water, wild herbs, or nothing at all.

In some areas, children share a single cucumber for the entire day—or stop seeking aid because they're too weak to walk. These are the signs of starvation's brutal progression: the body shuts down, immunity collapses and organs fail.

🚨With humanitarian aid barely being allowed to enter Gaza by Israel and ongoing hostilities putting our staff at risk, our nutrition programming has been heavily disrupted. Supplies of therapeutic food are running low, and reaching those already under treatment is becoming harder by the day.

This is not a crisis that can be met with half-measures. Only immediate, full, safe and sustained humanitarian access—through land routes, at scale—can avert a catastrophic loss of life.

We must act now to flood Gaza with aid. Every moment lost costs lives.

Please rush your emergency gift now using your personalized link—children and families in Gaza and crisis zones worldwide are counting on us: [link removed]
