Israel/Palestinian Crisis

 

Here is a list of trusted organizations, along with a summary of their work, that are providing humanitarian aid in the Israel/Palestinian Crisis.


UN World Food Program – WFP has launched an emergency response to provide vital food assistance to more than 800,000 women, children and families impacted by the conflict. We are distributing fresh bread, canned food and ready-to-eat meals to those in shelters. Please support our response: $75 can provide a family with a WFP emergency box containing enough food for an entire month.
Save The Children: Save the Children condemns the killing of civilians – especially children – in the strongest possible terms. Following the current escalation, we immediately dispersed $1M from our Children’s Emergency Fund to urgently respond to children’s needs. Save the Children has been providing essential services and support to Palestinian children impacted by the ongoing conflict since 1953, and have had a permanent presence in the occupied Palestinian territory since 1973. They are present in the West Bank and Gaza.
International Rescue Committee: The International Rescue Committee (IRC) helps people affected by humanitarian crises—including the climate crisis—to survive, recover and rebuild their lives.
Project HOPE: Project HOPE has deployed emergency response personnel to the region to address urgent needs in Israel and Egypt. The staff are also coordinating with local authorities, UN agencies, and civil society to coordinate the delivery of aid for both Israel and Gaza.
International Committee of the Red Cross: As a neutral, independent, humanitarian organization, the ICRC visits detainees in Israeli and Palestinian places of detention. They also help improve access to essential services like water and electricity in Gaza and support livelihood projects throughout the occupied territories.
Alliance for Middle East Peace: ALLMEP is the largest and fastest growing network of Palestinian and Israeli peacebuilders. As the collective voice of our member organizations, we channel their ambition toward increased cooperation and political impact, making them more than the sum of their parts.
Doctors Without Borders: As an independent and impartial humanitarian organization, MSF delivers emergency medical care where the needs for our expertise are greatest—regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or politics. We are also an international movement made up of people from more than 169 nationalities working in more than 70 countries. Many of our staff here at MSF-USA have friends, family, and loved ones in Israel, Gaza, or both, for whom we are deeply worried. All of us have colleagues working right now in Gaza delivering lifesaving medical care to people caught in the crossfire.
