Early today an initial 20 trucks of urgently needed food, medicine, and water moved through the border crossing from Egypt to Gaza, after days of negotiations to allow their passage.

Even though limited aid has started to move, it is a drop in an ocean of need, and will not come close to providing the scale of help urgently needed by two million people who are cut off from food, water, fuel, and other essentials.

This week, Mercy Corps released a joint statement with more than 300 organizations calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of life. Together, we called on all Heads of State, the UN Security Council, and actors on the ground to facilitate the delivery of urgently needed aid and prioritize preserving human life above all else.

As this unfathomable humanitarian crisis deepens, our team members in Egypt and Gaza are preparing to deliver immediate aid — clean water, food, hygiene supplies, and shelter materials — as soon as it is possible and safe to do so.

Rush your donation to help people when crisis strikes in places like Gaza and 40+ countries around the world.

We will continue to keep you updated as our response unfolds.

Thank you,

The Mercy Corps team
