Gaza Strip

The Gaza Strip has been struggling with a severe humanitarian crisis for years, which has reached catastrophic proportions as a result of the two-year-long conflict. Despite the ongoing “ceasefire,” an average of four residents of the Palestinian enclave die each day, and hospitals still lack basic medical supplies. Although the humanitarian situation remains difficult, there are also visible glimmers of hope. Opportunities to provide aid are emerging—ones we did not have just a few months ago. One of them is the wound care clinic opened on March 1 at Nasser Hospital, which we are able to co-finance thanks to donations from our supporters.

Our aid in Gaza Strip

In the face of the catastrophic humanitarian situation, we continue to act tirelessly to save lives. Currently—during the ceasefire—we are focusing on the wound care clinic opened in March at Nasser Hospital. Previously, we financed, among other efforts, the shifts of Jordanian doctors at the hospital in Deir al-Balah, and we also delivered three rounds of humanitarian aid, including medical supplies, warm clothing, and milk for newborns. We continuously monitor the situation on the ground in order to support medical assistance for Palestinians in the most effective way possible.

What is the situation?

Even before the war, the Gaza Strip was already in crisis due to a 17-year blockade imposed by Israel and recurring military operations. At that time, 80% of the population depended on international aid. In early February 2024, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) declared the Gaza Strip unfit for habitation. The ongoing conflict began with Hamas attacks that claimed the lives of approximately 1,195 people (including 815 civilians), and 251 individuals were abducted. Among them were citizens of Israel and other countries. Subsequently, the actions of the Israeli army and the blockade of the Gaza Strip resulted in the deaths of more than 72,000 Palestinians (as of March 2026, according to the Gaza Strip Ministry of Health).

On October 10, 2025, a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip came into effect. Its objectives included enabling unrestricted access to humanitarian aid and preventing daily civilian casualties. Unfortunately, both goals have only been partially achieved at best. According to data as of March 17, at least 673 Palestinians have been killed during the “ceasefire.” Access to medical care also remains extremely limited. Nearly two-thirds of medical facilities are not functioning, including half of all hospitals. In the damaged facilities, there is a shortage of medicines, equipment, and staff, and people lie on the floors waiting for help that often does not arrive. In our efforts, we focus on improving the dire situation of patients.

“Every disruption in hospital supplies poses a threat to patients’ lives and health. We hear reports of gunfire on hospital grounds, of a destroyed hospital wall. Innocent people are dying there”
