John,
Right now, more than 2 million Palestinians—half of them children—are living without access to sufficient food, water and medical care. Heavy rains, severe flooding and freezing temperatures are only compounding the crisis.
"Temperatures are dropping, and heavy rain has caused severe flooding in Gaza. Displaced families living in tents are left without proper shelter, blankets, or warm clothing to protect them from the cold." —Bart Witteveen, the IRC's Country Director for the occupied Palestinian territory
You can help deliver winter supplies and other urgently-needed aid to Gaza and crisis zones around the world, as the weather conditions continue to worsen. And if you make a donation right now, a generous donor will match your gift to make 2X the difference for families in need.
As children and families struggle to make it through winter, the IRC is:
💛 Providing emergency and lifesaving medical care with partners
💛 Delivering nutrition assistance and medicine
💛 Prioritizing the protection of children and women through the winter months and in the year ahead, ensuring they have access to mental health and psychosocial support
💛 Integrating early childhood development programs in Gaza's many shelters to help children cope with the immense trauma they're experiencing
It only takes a moment to donate, but your gift can make a lifelong difference for children and families in crisis zones.
Please rush your MATCHED donation for families facing crisis, in Gaza and around the world. >>
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. |
