Urgent humanitarian assistance is critically needed across the region. All parties must respect civilian lives and adhere to international humanitarian law.
In Israel, we do not have an operational presence, and as is often our practice in such cases, we support trusted partners on the ground who are responding. International Medical Corps is supporting one of our long-time partners—JDC—and its emergency response efforts in Israel. JDC also has supported some of our other humanitarian missions around the world.
In Gaza, where we’ve had staff on the ground since 2008, International Medical Corps is responding. We’ve deployed a 140-bed field hospital providing surgical, trauma, orthopedic, obstetric and newborn care, inpatient, outpatient, pharmacy and other lifesaving medical services to as many as 800 civilians per day affected by the war. We’re increasing access to health, protection, mental health, and water, sanitation and hygiene services, and ensuring a steady supply of medicines, supplies and training to those in need.
To support relief efforts in Gaza, please donate to this project.

*Please Note for recurring donations: Once we have determined that the community can continue to respond to the after-effects of this emergency without us, we will scale back our response efforts. At that time, we will redirect your future donations where they are needed most, to help us respond to future outbreaks of conflict, disease or disaster.
