John, I've tried to start writing this note a few times now. It’s hard to put words to the sheer scale of the catastrophe we’re seeing in Gaza.

Famine is imminent in Gaza. This is a profound failure of humanity.

But your generosity can be a beacon of hope, especially during Ramadan.

Every year I take this month to reflect and deepen my spirituality. Working at the International Rescue Committee (IRC), people in crisis all over the world are never far from my mind. But this Ramadan, I can't stop thinking about people in Gaza—especially children.

People in Gaza have seen their homes turned to rubble, and thousands of families have been fractured by death and displacement. Children are dying from starvation.

The IRC is working with our partners tirelessly to deliver health care and other emergency support to children and families in Gaza and around the world. And right now, during Ramadan—and at this hour of immense need—all donations are being doubled.

John, the need is very dire. Please rush a gift now to children and families in crisis. Here is your personal link to have your gift MATCHED TODAY: [link removed] >>

I also wanted to share this powerful photo with you. ⬇️

This is Arvind Das, IRC Gaza Field Director, in Rafah, Gaza. He is walking through a corridor of displaced families at the European Hospital in Gaza, where an IRC/MAP emergency medical team operated for two weeks. It's more than an image. It's a testament to the resilience we foster together. In this critical moment, your generosity is a beacon of hope.


My heart breaks for hungry families in Gaza suffering through a human-made hunger crisis. But here's what gives me hope—our action and your generosity, John.

Right now, the IRC is working directly with our partners in Gaza to provide medical supplies and critical services in emergency shelters including health services, psychosocial support, cash assistance, and support for children and caregivers to cope with the effects of trauma and displacement.

Please help children and families in crisis zones like Gaza survive and recover with a gift today [MATCHED]. Your support during our limited-time Ramadan match opportunity can help families in Gaza and beyond receive the urgent aid needed to survive and thrive. >>

Ramadan Kareem,
—Madiha @ IRC
