One month ago, famine was confirmed in Gaza City.

By the end of September, these conditions are projected to spread to other places in Gaza like Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis, according to analysis by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).

We at the International Rescue Committee continue to reach Palestinians with lifesaving nutrition, health care, cash and emergency support. But the needs are growing every day, and we urgently need your help to reach more families in dire need.

Rush an emergency donation for children and families in Gaza and in crisis zones worldwide. For a limited time, your gift will be 2X MATCHED to help us respond when we're needed most.

John, this is not just hunger—it's a slow, deliberate death by starvation.

By the time famine conditions have been met, it is already too late for too many. It's not the start of a crisis—but proof that preventable tragedies have already taken place.

At least 100 children in Gaza have died from malnutrition-related causes. And after nearly two years of war, more than two million Palestinians—half of them children—are living without access to sufficient water, food and medical care.

"The sound of children crying from hunger never stops."
—Rania Al Shrehi, an IRC staff member in Gaza

In collaboration with our local partners in Gaza, we've supported the health, education, safety and economic wellbeing of more than 430,000 people since the beginning of the latest escalation of conflict.

We now have more than five tons of medical supplies ready and waiting to enter Gaza as soon as borders are opened—enough to treat thousands of people and offer critical support to a health system already collapsing.

Your support ensures we can scale up lifesaving aid the moment access to crisis zones is possible.

Please don't wait: Make an emergency donation today while it will go 2X as far for children and families in crisis.
