Update:

The situation in Gaza is deteriorating rapidly. Israel’s call for over 1 million Palestinians to leave northern Gaza and relocate within 24 hours puts at risk the lives of those forced to flee. Many people, including the injured, the elderly, and the most vulnerable, will be unable to heed these warnings and leave.

It’s apparent that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza — where half the population are children — will deepen in the days and weeks to come. Mercy Corps is working to restart our humanitarian programs in Gaza as soon as it is safe to do so, and is committed to significantly ramping up much-needed lifesaving assistance in the days and weeks ahead.

Please give now to support families and communities in crisis in places like Gaza and 40+ countries across the globe ▸

According to the UN, before this latest evacuation order, more than 338,000 people were displaced and about 65% were sheltering in 92 UN-run schools operating as emergency shelters. More than 100,000 others were seeking shelter with family or friends — but there are very few, if any, safe places to go.

Mercy Corps has worked in Palestine for three decades (since 1986), providing humanitarian assistance like access to water, working with children and young people, and connecting people to economic opportunities in an area where unemployment is over 40 percent (youth over 60 percent).

Please rush an emergency gift right now to support Mercy Corps response teams working to provide lifesaving support for people in places of conflict and crisis around the world.

Thanks for your dedicated support in these extraordinarily difficult times.

Sincerely,

The Mercy Corps team
