Over the past few months, suffering has reached a new
breaking point for families in crisis. Gaza is still facing unprecedented
humanitarian collapse as famine continues to spread. In Sudan, recent
floods have inundated villages and worsened an already dire humanitarian
crisis.

Mercy Corps team and partners are on the ground responding to the needs of
families after crises have escalated and left millions without food,
water, shelter, or peace.

Please read on to learn about
our lifesaving work in Gaza, Sudan, and beyond — [ [link removed]- ]and if you’re ready to
make your next gift to help us reach more families in need in 35+
countries, consider making a donation of anything you can
at the moment.


Gaza


This month marked two years since the violence escalated in Gaza, causing
two long years of devastation, displacement, and unrelenting hunger. The
toll on human life is heartbreaking: At least 1.9 million people across
the Gaza Strip — about 90% of the population — have been forced from their
homes, according to the United Nations. Hospitals, schools, and critical
infrastructure like water and sewage systems have been damaged and
destroyed.

Gaza is unlivable. And every day, innocent civilians are being pushed to
the edge of survival. Young children are missing out on school or their
childhood and instead are collecting water to survive. Mother and father
are lining up at the community kitchen for the opportunity to get a hot
meal. Entire families are being forced to evacuate once again, after being
displaced multiple times.

Mercy Corps is on the ground responding to the urgent needs of
Palestinians. But an urgent agent is needed to save lives. We’re running
out of time — the international community needs to take action and to
ensure that the current ceasefire lasts, the return of all hostages,
restoration of life-sustaining services, and sustained access to aid for
millions.

Despite current aid block aids, our teams are delivering clean drinking
water to those who desperately need it, reaching an average of 800
households per day. Since October 2023, Mercy Corps and partner
organizations have reached over 385,000 people with emergency items such
as food baskets, hygiene, water, and shelter kits, and supported more than
33,300 families with emergency cash assistance as prices continue to rise
exponentially.


Sudan


Right now, a natural disaster is deepening the already dire humanitarian
crisis in Sudan. Flooding has displaced thousands of families as it
grapples with a two-year-long political conflict. Over 25 million people
don’t have enough to eat; meanwhile, 600,000 people are experiencing
famine. One of our team members, Emmanuel Ufot, shared what the experience
is on the ground:


 
"The food and hunger situation is something [like] a black hole. You
know something bad is happening, but you don’t have all the pieces of
  information."  
 
Emmanuel Ufot, Emergency Strategic Support Director, Sudan
 


Mercy Corps is working alongside communities and partners to provide
emergency response and long-term assistance. In eight of Sudan’s 18
states, our teams are providing emergency cash assistance for nearly
150,000 people so that they can buy essentials like food, water, medicine,
and hygiene supplies. We’re also laying the groundwork for when the
violence ends, supporting over 76,000 smallholder farmers impacted by
conflict with high-quality seeds and cash to ensure farmers can plant and
have enough crops during harvest season.

As we continue to respond to escalating crises around the world, support
from people like more is vitally important. Children are missing out on
education, families are losing their livelihoods, and communities are on
the brink of losing hope. We must respond swiftly to meet the needs of
those who need it most.
