Gaza Emergency Appeal
The catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza, exacerbated by the escalation of the ongoing conflict, has left 2.23 million people in urgent need of food, clean water and medical care.
There are widespread reports that famine is imminent.
Immediate humanitarian support is needed now to address the increasing levels of hunger. In northern Gaza, the rate of malnutrition is particularly high. It is estimated that one in three children below the age of two is now acutely malnourished or "wasted". This means that they are dangerously thin for their height.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) warned of the risk that famine may occur by the end of May 2024.
People urgently need your help today.
1.9 million people - around 85% of the population of the Gaza Strip have been forced to leave their homes and are in desperate need of food, water, shelter and medical care. Working in Gaza is hard and dangerous but our partner, CESVI, is delivering much-needed supplies to people who need it most.
Your donation will help us to provide food, water and sanitation to those most in need.
Concern's work in Gaza
We are working with one of our established partners, CESVI, to deliver life-saving support including food, clean water and other essential items. Our response will take place across the governorates of Deir al Balah and Rafah, where the need for intervention is more critical than ever.
Funds raised in response to this appeal will go towards Concern's and our partner organisation's work in Gaza. For every £1 you donate, we will allocate 10p of your donation to cover general support and running costs. There is a small chance that we will raise more money than is needed for this appeal. If this happens, we'll spend any additional funds on other Concern programmes – wherever the need is greatest.
