Friend, it’s difficult to express in words just how catastrophic the humanitarian disaster in Gaza has become. Here are three things you need to know about the situation right now:
-
Food is extremely scarce: The blockade that’s prevented food and medicine from entering Gaza since March is leading to malnutrition and a health crisis threatening the lives of 2 million children and adults.
-
The health care system has collapsed: There are extreme shortages of electricity, equipment, specialized personnel and medicine for the sick and dying. Americares partner organizations have run out of essential medicines to treat high blood pressure and warn that supplies of cancer medications are dangerously low.
-
Americares is not standing still: We continue to support our trusted partners so they can meet urgent health needs. We currently have 4 tons of medicine and medical supplies over the border in Jordan awaiting delivery, and more shipments of antibiotics, pain relievers and desperately needed cancer medications are in the pipeline.
In the face of this horrific crisis in Gaza, we need your urgent support to continue our emergency response. That’s why we’re turning to you to ask directly: Will you rush $125 right now to send lifesaving aid for people suffering in Gaza and others facing crises around the world? |
