The current situation in Palestine

Humanitarian conditions in Gaza are critical following a sharp upsurge in violence in the region in early October 2023, with 96 percent of the population facing acute food insecurity. Food and water are running out, shelters for displaced people are massively overcrowded and, without fuel, there is no electricity. Health services are collapsing. In the West Bank also, conditions are deteriorating, and food is running short.

The risk of famine is increasing with each passing day as the current conflict in Palestine continues. Your donations to Palestine are needed now more than ever.

Despite the challenges, the UN World Food Programme remains on the ground in Gaza and the West Bank distributing lifesaving food aid. Getting emergency food assistance to the most vulnerable families including children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities can be a matter of life and death.

With a gift to WFP, you can be part of the humanitarian effort to reach families in Palestine with essential food and aid – and you can help save lives.
