Gaza

Over 1.9 million displaced in Gaza, send critical aid today.

The streets of Gaza are lined with rubble—where homes once stood, filled with laughter and warmth. Now, children walk barefoot among the debris, their eyes searching for hope in a world that has taken so much from them.

 

⚠️ As of January 2025, the devastation in Gaza has reached unimaginable levels.

  • 46,006+ lives lost (Health Ministry in Gaza)
  • 109,378+ injured, many without access to proper medical care
  • Women and children make up over 60% of the casualties
  • 1.1 million+ people face extreme food insecurity
  • Hospitals in crisis, with power outages, dwindling supplies, and ongoing attacks

Frequently Asked Questions

Care for Orphans

Humaniti continues to support over 5,000 orphans with a monthly care package valued at $50 USD. These packages include a combination of food, hygiene products, cash assistance, fresh produce, and clothing, depending on market availability and evolving needs on the ground.

Hot Meal Distribution

Daily hot meals are still being served, primarily featuring rice and stew-based dishes. While meat was previously a staple, its availability has sharply declined since early March due to market collapse. The local population has adjusted expectations, prioritizing calorie intake over dietary variety. There is now an urgent need for basic staples such as rice, canned goods, and takiyya-style meals (ready-to-eat food provided via communal kitchens).

Water Delivery & Fuel Shortages

Water trucks remain operational and are delivering daily access to clean water. However, diesel shortages are becoming critical. Without immediate intervention, water delivery routes may be impacted due to rising fuel costs and scarcity.

Status of Humaniti’s Tent Village

Humaniti’s tent village remains fully intact and operational. It was recently renovated and is currently at full capacity due to the ongoing conflict and the resulting displacement of additional families.

Stockpile Outlook

The World Food Programme has announced a complete depletion of its stockpiles in Gaza, warning of a looming famine. Humaniti continues to rely on local suppliers and longstanding partnerships with traders; however, field reports indicate that existing stockpiles may only sustain operations for a few more weeks without urgent resupply.

Medical Aid & Health Initiatives

Humaniti has launched multiple mobile clinics and is actively supporting local hospitals. Services remain active, but medical supply chains are fragile and access to essential medicines is heavily dependent on local market conditions and border access.

Support for Injured and Disabled Orphans

Humaniti provides ongoing support to injured orphans and individuals with disabilities through both in-kind and financial aid. Efforts are being made to procure essential equipment, mobility aids, and therapeutic supplies to maintain and improve their quality of life.

Urgently Depleting Items

The following items are in critically short supply:

  • Infant formula and diapers
  • Diesel and other fuel
  • Fresh vegetables and meat
  • Essential medications

Geographic Focus Areas

Humaniti’s relief efforts are currently concentrated in:

  • Al-Mawasi, Khan Yunis (designated humanitarian zone)
  • Middle Gaza (Dair al-Balah and Al-Zawaida)
  • North Gaza and Gaza City
These areas represent the largest clusters of displaced families supported by our on-the-ground teams.

Post-Ceasefire Recovery Strategy

Humaniti is actively developing a multi-phase recovery plan that will be implemented immediately following a ceasefire. Key priorities include:

  • Scaling up food distribution, especially takiyya kitchen operations
  • Enhancing water access through reactivation of wells
  • Expanding healthcare through mobile and fixed health facilities
  • Debris removal and basic infrastructure rehabilitation
  • Launching SME development projects to generate local employment
  • Rebuilding and expanding health and education services to close war-related gaps

Upcoming Qurbani Distribution

With Eid al-Adha approaching, Humaniti is preparing for a large-scale Qurbani meat distribution initiative. This will proceed regardless of the conflict status and aims to provide sacrificial meat to displaced and vulnerable families as part of our ongoing humanitarian response.
