Dear friend,

We’re at a moment of extraordinary need as the effects of climate change,
conflicts, and economic instability compound crises for people across the
world.

Large-scale humanitarian catastrophes unfolding in places like Gaza,
Sudan, Haiti, and Ukraine have left children unsafe, destroyed
livelihoods, and pushed millions of people to the brink of famine.

I’ve seen up close the impact our teams are making as we deliver critical
humanitarian relief and support to families facing hunger, recovering from
natural disasters, and working hard to create a resilient community for
themselves and their children.

To meet this moment,
Mercy Corps is launching a summer campaign to raise $80,ooo for our
Humanitarian Response Fund that directs critical resources to our teams
responding to humanitarian emergencies and crises in 40+ countries around
the world. [ [link removed] ]Will you make a gift today of $12 or more
to fuel our work as we respond to those severely affected?

[ [link removed] ]The Rafah offensive and ongoing military action across the Gaza
strip have forced over a million Palestinians to flee into overcrowded
areas that continue to face bombardment. Compounding the overcrowding
is the oppressive summer heat, no access to clean water, and
  increasing exposure to garbage and sewage. Lena, a Mercy Corps’ team  
member, and her family are sheltering in a refugee camp in Nusairat.
She shared these photos, saying, "There are no services and nowhere
for the waste to go, so the piles keep growing. Mosquitoes are
everywhere and have become a real public health concern. It has become
completely unfit for human life."
 


After the invasion of Gaza began over nine months ago, Mercy Corps team
members mobilized quickly to bring critical relief to families. Our access
to the enclave has been limited, but we have been able to provide support
to more than 160,500 people, including food, hygiene kits, and
psychosocial support to families enduring the effects of conflict and
displacement.

I’m proud of the work our team — many of whom are fighting for their own
survival — has been able to do despite the limitations, but it is nowhere
near enough aid for the more than 2 million Palestinians experiencing
crisis levels of hunger. As the Vice President of Global Policy and
Advocacy, I can assure you that Mercy Corps is committed to using our
voice to advocate for a ceasefire and ensure sustained humanitarian
access. We will not stop until the people of Gaza have what they need to
survive this crisis.

As humanitarian needs continue to rise in Gaza and around the world, we
all need to do our part to help families living through extraordinary
challenges.

our Humanitarian Response Fund to help us be fully prepared to meet the
needs of people facing crises across the globe?
