Friend, we are heartened by the long-overdue ceasefire bringing a temporary pause to this devastating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which will allow more aid to reach civilians.
This ceasefire is a step toward alleviating the life-threatening shortage of medicine, food, water and other critical supplies for the nearly 2 million people in Gaza. The situation remains dire, with civilians facing starvation, a collapsed health system, infectious disease and overwhelming mental health needs.
With this announcement, Americares is working quickly to scale up aid delivery with our partners on the ground. Since the war broke out in October of 2023, Americares has:
-
Delivered over 24 tons of essential medicine and medical supplies to Gaza, including enough medicine to fill nearly 220,000 prescriptions. Additional shipments are on the way, including several tons of medicines and medical supplies.
-
Supported six partner organizations providing mental health services in Gaza. These efforts will reach more than 8,000 people experiencing the trauma of war and displacement.
-
Awarded $550,000 in funding for medical teams providing essential health care services in Gaza, which has no fully functioning hospitals.
Friend, Americares remains unwavering in our commitment to meeting the most urgent health needs of civilians caught in the crossfire. While the details of the ceasefire agreement remain fragile, our teams are committed to continuing our response. We have a lot of work ahead of us, and we need your urgent support in this critical moment.
Please, will you donate $125 today to help provide lifesaving aid to civilians in Gaza and those impacted by other crises around the world? |
