Dear Friend,
As violence continues to take a horrific toll across the globe, we are praying for peace and for the safety of all humanitarian workers, health workers, and civilians. In that spirit, we wanted to share the latest updates on how Project HOPE, with your support, is working to provide care and hope for survivors of violence worldwide:

This month marks 6 months of the terrible violence in Sudan that has caused the death of over 9,000 people and the displacement of 5 million more. Health facilities are in dire need of help as their staff sacrifice their own safety to save others and confront the recent outbreaks of cholera and dengue.
With your support and the collaboration of our dedicated partners, we were recently able to deliver 24,000 pounds or $13 million of essential medical supplies, ranging from syringes, gauze, and wound care items to medications and therapeutic food. This shipment will support over 100,000 people across Sudan. More on this lifesaving delivery >

ISRAEL AND GAZA
|
Project HOPE has deployed staff to the region to provide care and aid to survivors of violence in both Israel and Gaza. We have teams on the ground in Israel to support hospitals damaged in attacks earlier this month, as well as supplies pre-positioned in Egypt to enter Gaza, when permitted. We are coordinating with partners across the region to assess how and when we can best support the health and humanitarian needs of impacted communities.
"Violent conflicts of this nature always have a disproportionate impact on people in vulnerable situations, particularly women, children, people with disabilities, and older adults,” said Arlan Fuller, our Director of Emergency Preparedness & Response. Details about our response >

After nearly 120,000 refugees were forced to flee Azerbaijan’s Nagorno-Karabakh region in September, we deployed a team to Armenia to help assess their health needs and how we can help. Project HOPE is now helping the refugee community prepare for the upcoming harsh winter season, starting with the distribution of heaters in the region of Sunyk. What we found >
