John, famine has become a deadly reality in Gaza City. Catastrophic hunger is tightening its grip across the population.
Nearly two years of conflict have left over two million Palestinians, half of whom are children, without access to sufficient water, food or medical care.
The IRC is working around the clock to deliver lifesaving aid. But with families now facing both starvation and severe water shortages, we urgently need your help to save more lives.

The scale of suffering in Gaza is unimaginable. Many families are starving, children are wasting away from severe acute malnutrition, and people are dying.
The hunger crisis isn't just threatening children's lives—it's stealing their futures. More than 650,000 children can't attend school this September. Even those strong enough to learn have nowhere to go, with nearly 90% of schools damaged or destroyed. Every child in Gaza has now experienced profoundly distressing events and trauma.
"The sound of children crying from hunger never stops."
—Rania Al Shrehi, an IRC staff member in Gaza
Together with local partners, IRC teams are treating malnutrition and offering nutrition counseling and care for children and their caregivers. We're also delivering clean drinking water alongside sanitation and hygiene services.
But supplies of therapeutic food are running dangerously low. We have more than 5 tons of medical supplies ready and waiting to enter Gaza—enough to treat thousands of people and offer critical support to a health system already collapsing.
Your support today helps save children's lives through emergency nutrition AND gives them hope through safe learning spaces where they can begin to heal.
Please rush your 2X matched donation now. Children in Gaza and around the world are counting on us.
