Across Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank, health care is either totally shattered or increasingly inaccessible.

Samah fled for the Syrian border from Lebanon just days after giving birth and undergoing a C-section. “I wrapped my stomach with a clean cloth, carried my son and went down to the border,” she said.

When she got to the border, a UNFPA medical team gave her care — examining her surgical wound and assuring that both she and her newborn were in good health. “I felt hope again,” Samah said. “They gave me antibiotics, nutrients, and more than that, they gave me a sense of safety.”

This is the type of care you’re delivering in humanitarian crises when you make an emergency gift.

Will you help reach more mothers like Samah with lifesaving care for them and their newborns by making your first gift today?

In Gaza, hospitals, staff, and ambulances are attacked, besieged, and starved of supplies, equipment, and fuel. No hospitals remain fully functional, and only 17 out of 36 are even partially functioning.

155,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women across Gaza are facing major obstacles in accessing prenatal and postnatal care. Many are dealing with life-threatening complications during pregnancy and childbirth, amid a shortage of essential medications.

Thanks to gifts from donors like you, eight trucks carrying lifesaving reproductive health medicines and 9,000 Dignity Kits made it into Gaza this week. But the supplies were a drop in the ocean compared to spiraling needs.

With no end to the suffering in sight, we cannot look away from this crisis. Will you make an emergency gift to deliver urgently needed care and aid to the people who need it most in Gaza and beyond?

We condemn the violence in Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel, and echo the UN Secretary-General’s call for a sustained humanitarian ceasefire and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages by Hamas. The suffering must end and peace must prevail.

Thank you for being there for women and girls.
