GAZA: The IRC is extremely concerned by reports of an Israeli airstrike in the Al-Aqsa hospital grounds where displaced people, including those recently told to leave the north, were sheltering. The strike caused a fire which killed at least four people and injured dozens. Hours earlier, Israeli airstrikes hit a shelter school in Nuseirat, killing 20 and injuring more.

Can you help fund lifesaving aid for children and families in Gaza and other crises?

John: The conflict-induced humanitarian suffering in Gaza is catastrophic–with every person in Gaza now in need of humanitarian assistance and more than two million Palestinians (half of them children) living without access to sufficient water, food and medical care.

EMERGENCY UPDATE: The International Rescue Committee is extremely concerned by reports of an Israeli airstrike in the Al-Aqsa hospital grounds where displaced people, including those recently told to leave the north, were sheltering. The strike caused a fire which killed at least four people and injured dozens. Hours earlier, Israeli airstrikes hit a shelter school in Nuseirat, killing 20 and injuring more. International law must be upheld, which demands protecting civilians and the infrastructure on which they depend, including hospitals.

The IRC continues to call for an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Gaza, one that seeks to fully protect Palestinian lives, secure the release of hostages, and safely scale up humanitarian assistance and service delivery.

Children and families in Gaza urgently need food, safe water and medical supplies. The IRC is working directly and with local partners to deliver immediate aid to those in desperate need.

"The IRC is working around the clock, alongside incredible Palestinian partners, to do everything we can to save lives."
– Bob Kitchen, the IRC's Vice President of Emergency Programs

Over the past year in Gaza:

The IRC has deployed 12 emergency medical teams on a rotational basis.
We've launched a community-based management of acute malnutrition program and delivered 1,700 cartons of ready-to-use therapeutic food (a nutrient-rich paste for malnourished children) to northern Gaza.
We're distributing 100,000 liters of clean drinking water per day.
The IRC is also working with 11 partner organizations to deliver: early childhood development, child protection, women's protection and empowerment, health, nutrition and basic needs.
