Massive killings and human suffering continue in #Gaza. 45% of all housing units have been destroyed or damaged, and entire neighbourhoods have been reduced to rubble. 219 educational complexes have been hit. Among them, UNRWA schools that were being used as emergency shelters for the internally displaced. 76 attacks have been reported on health care. 20 hospitals and 24 ambulances have been affected. As a result of the lack of food, many internally displaced people are only having one meal per day. Malnutrition is a real risk, especially for children and pregnant and lactating women. Water is running out. The electricity blackout and the lack of fuel make it impossible for water facilities to operate. In view of this catastrophic situation, Mercy Hands is striving to provide food and water to the most affected. With the HEART for Gaza operation on the ground, we are working with national entities to provide the aid through the Rafah border. Check out our fundraising campaign and help us alleviate the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza. https://gofund.me/c8c5d346 #CeasefireNOW #Conflict #humanitarianaid #humanitarianaccess #donate #humansuffering #humanity #aid #advocacy #humans #victims #warcrimes #charity #ngo #HEART #operation #IHL #donation #philantropy #civilians Picture source: UNRWA

It was supposed to be a time for family visits, sharing of food and messages of peace and blessings, but instead this year in Gaza, both Easter and Ramadan has been a time of sadness, loneliness and lack. Abu Yusuf says his family and many others he knows have resorted to cooking the weeds that grow during the winter when the rains fall. They are all down to one meal a day, and often when there is nothing to make bread with, they will grind rabbit feed and use that as a flour. While aid trucks have been entering Gaza, not nearly the same amount of aid has been allowed in since the war started. Roughly about 500 aid trucks are needed daily to cover the basic needs of the people in Gaza, but since the war started the number of trucks topped 300 a day - the last time being during the week-long cease-fire. Some days as little as 10 trucks have made it in. Our partners in the region, Shepherd Society, are reaching out to those in their immediate communities with food packs containing essential items. Currently these temporary measures are all that they can do, and as long as the crisis continues this type of support is a lifeline of hope. Will you consider donating to help them get through the next few weeks? Visit our donate page on our website for various ways to give and be apart of bringing hope to the hopeless. #Gaza #crisis #crisisresponse #shepherdssociety #crisisresponsenetwork #aid #humanitarian

【Distribute Hot Meals in Gaza - Your Support Is Urgently Needed】 The conflicts in the #Gaza Strip have been ongoing for six months, and the death toll continues to rise. Over 13,000 children have lost their lives, with one-third of children under the age of two suffering from severe #malnutrition. Some mothers even have to bear stillbirth or infant mortality – the situation is worrying. Currently, through the collaboration with the local organisation, #PlanInternational has successfully provided 6,000 emergency food packages to the displaced people in Gaza. Despite the challenge, Plan International will continue partnering with the local organisation to provide assistance to the population affected by the conflicts. With no sign of a ceasefire in Gaza, the entire population has been living on an empty stomach and in fear. Families are being forced to eat grass and animal feed to survive. Once again, we urge an immediate, permanent, and #ceasefire NOW . We hope that you can join us in providing assistance to help those affected overcome the difficult times. 👉Donate Now: https://lnkd.in/g-QZ8hfR 👉Learn More: https://bit.ly/3PPhO0E #GazaMiddleEastHumanitarianCrisis #HumantarianAid #EmergencyRelief #Israel #Palestine #Famine #HungerCrisis

After 14 months of intense fighting, the situation in #Sudan is dire: 25.6 million people face crisis levels of food insecurity, meaning these households are skipping meals or using vital resources to meet food needs. 8.5 million people are facing emergency levels of hunger. They have large gaps between meals and are using all possible strategies to access food. 750,000 people on the brink of famine. In these areas, malnutrition is widespread and people are dying of starvation. The conflict in Sudan is creating unlivable conditions for the population, hunger being one of the most widespread. Our Children in Crisis Response Fund helps children and families fleeing crises, including those that have fled Sudan to refugee camps in neighboring Chad.

Tragically, over 60% of the fatalities in Gaza, as of October 27, occurred in the northern region. Shockingly, more than two thirds of those who lost their lives were in their homes with their families, including at least 248 children who remain unidentified. In the last three weeks alone, the number of children killed in Gaza surpasses the total child casualties in conflicts worldwide from 2019 to the present day, according to Save the Children. 💔 Take action now to support the innocent lives affected by this crisis.

The resilient children of Gaza💔 According to UNICEF, #Gaza is the “most dangerous place” in the world to be a child. More than 70 percent of those who’ve been killed since October 7 are women and children. But It’s not just the physical injuries and death that these children are experiencing. Children that survive the bombardments are facing hunger, displacement, disease, and freezing cold temperatures in makeshift shelters without any way to stay warm or protected. Help children survive in Gaza. Donate now and help us provide warm winter kits containing warm winter items, hot meals, food parcels, hygiene kits, and water-resistant shelters to help children survive the brutal winter season in Gaza: https://buff.ly/304NCYh

🚨 Urgent Call for Help 🚨 “ It takes me more than 5 hours to bring food to my family. It’s difficult and tiring but I have no other choice otherwise we don’t eat ,” confides Mohammad, 11 years old. His story mirrors that of 2.2 million Gazans facing hunger. For nearly six months, Gaza has been devastated by airstrikes and hunger, pushing it toward famine. Parents skip meals so their children can eat, but many still go hungry. By March 15, 2024, 677,000 faced severe food insecurity. Without urgent intervention, famine is imminent by May. In Rafah, over 1.5 million displaced people queue for food, while daily bombings destroy vital infrastructure. Inaccessible regions suffer acute malnutrition, with 1 in 3 children under 2 affected. UNICEF persists in issuing warnings, yet obstacles hinder the delivery of aid. Join us in supporting UNICEF’s mission and contribute to raise awareness and funds to provide critical assistance before it’s too late. #GazaCrisis #FamineAlert #HumanitarianEmergency #UNICEF #DonateNow Source: UNICEF France. (2024, March 28). À Gaza, la famine est imminente. Read the article to learn more and to donate. https://lnkd.in/e5Pi8MBe (this picture is symbolic)

It has been nearly a year since the new conflict erupted in Sudan. But even as this tragedy wages on, we are hopeful. This Easter Season, we think of God’s sacrifice, and continue to follow the call to not give up — but to hold on with hope, to pray, serve, and love our neighbors in Sudan. Before this new conflict began last April, the region faced grim statistics – nearly 7 million school aged children were out of school, 3 million children under age 5 suffered from malnutrition, and more than 3 million women and girls faced the imminent threat of gender-based violence. In an already precarious situation, violence has devastated the region further. Join us in our mission to spread awareness of what’s being called the “Forgotten War.” These children and their suffering are anything but forgettable.
