Dear friend,

Mercy Corps has been actively distributing food, hygiene and household
shelter kits, working with local partners to get as much aid into Gaza as
possible.

Recently in Amman, Jordan, Mercy Corps team members prepared 1,300 food
kits for families in Gaza. The kits were then airlifted by a Jordanian Air
Force cargo plane into Egypt, where they were loaded onto trucks bound for
Gaza.

While these food kits are now providing relief to the families who receive
them, it is just a small dent in the hunger and humanitarian catastrophe
that continues to worsen by the day. More than 2 million people—half of
whom are children—are stranded with nowhere safe to go, in a state of
exhaustion, without food and clean water, and in the midst of near total
destruction in the Gaza Strip.

We
will not stop until Palestinians have the food and water they need to
survive this crisis. [ [link removed] ]Your gift today can help us reach families in
Gaza, Lebanon, and around the world with urgent, lifesaving support.

warehouse in Jordan.


Each food kit serves a family of four for a few days and includes items
like dried fruits, olive oil, and fortified biscuits along with canned
vegetables, beans, fish, and meat. All of the items in the kit are
ready-to-eat, since cooking fuel is mostly unavailable or unaffordable.

Mercy Corps and other humanitarian aid organizations are facing multiple
challenges to getting the significant amount of aid needed into Gaza:
border closures, limited approvals and onerous inspections, damaged roads
and infrastructure, recurrent communications blackouts, and lack of
capacity for safe and organized distribution.

We will persist in leveraging our voice, our partnerships, and our
ingenuity to get aid to people suffering in Gaza. [ [link removed] ]Send your support now

Thank you,

The Mercy Corps Team
