Since Saturday October 7, the escalating violence in Gaza has claimed the lives of at least 7,000 Palestinians and injured more than 17,000. A further one million Palestinians have been displaced.

Before the recent upsurge in conflict, Gaza was already struggling with a 16-year blockade that severely limited their access to necessities, resulting in the people of Gaza becoming severely dependent on humanitarian assistance. Sixty-eight percent of the population live below the poverty line.

 $150 can provide an Emergency Food Parcel which will provide food to a family of seven for one month.
