On top of starvation, people in Gaza are enduring unbearable heat. It’s reported that this is the hottest temperature in the region since 1942. No one should be forced to live under these conditions.

Air dropping food out of planes or sending a limited number of trucks through a maze of restrictions does not end starvation, it prolongs it.

Please speak out for Gaza.

Palestinians are trapped in a cycle of hope and heartbreak, waiting for assistance and ceasefires, only to wake up to worsening conditions. Call on your government to take immediate action now, before there are no more lives to save. #StopStarvingGaza #LetAidIn #CeasefireNOW

This is one of the many children we saw at our health clinics. As you can see, this particular child is below the healthy weight. Our team recently identified 301 acutely malnourished children and an additional 257 at risk. While immediate treatment has begun, the scale of need demands change.

The horror in Gaza continues to escalate as death due to starvation increases. Our team is working tirelessly to support the health of as many people possible, including nutrition services. However, we are in a race against time as more people perish in a completely preventable situation.
