Dear friend,

After more than a year of conflict and suffering, the ceasefire announcement between Hamas and Israel last month was a sign of hope for millions of Palestinians — hope that relief, peace, and the ability to return home were on the horizon.

Once the ceasefire was finalized, restrictions were lifted on the border and allowed aid to flow into Gaza. With the support of generous people like you, seven trucks of humanitarian aid of Mercy Corps aid were granted access to northern Gaza to reach families with essential items, including 2,100 food and 2,100 hygiene kits — and we won’t stop there.

Mercy Corps will continue to get as much aid as possible to families in Gaza during this critical ceasefire window while continuing to call for an end to the siege that has left 3.1 million people in need of humanitarian assistance.
Last February, Mercy Corps prepared a cargo of humanitarian aid with food kits in Jordan that were eventually delivered across the border into Gaza.
For over a year, we have been calling for a ceasefire, the safe return of all hostages, protection of all civilians, and access to humanitarian aid. Now that we have a ceasefire agreement in place, we must continue to take action.

This agreement opens a critical window of opportunity for Mercy Corps and our partners to ramp up delivery of desperately needed relief to help families return home and rebuild.

Mercy Corps teams and partners are continuing to transport lifesaving relief including food, water, hygiene kits, and shelter supplies. However, the humanitarian need on the ground remains dire.

Since October 7, 2023, more than 2.1 million people have been displaced. Families lost their homes, hunger and polio outbreaks threatened the lives of children, and the constant bombardment destroyed the lives and livelihoods of innocent civilians.

The road to recovery for the people of Gaza is a long and difficult one — but together, we can help meet their immediate needs, provide guidance in returning back to a sense of normalcy, and stay long after to ensure their full, long-term recovery.

Thank you for your commitment in helping to deliver critical aid in Gaza during this conflict and in crisis zones across the globe. In this critical moment, your support is desperately needed to transform the lives of the people who have been affected by conflict, disaster, and poverty. Will you make your first gift to Mercy Corps today?
