Here’s how you can help people in Gaza recover from the conflict.
The people of Gaza are clinging to a fragile ceasefire. Palestinians remain in desperate need of humanitarian aid as winter weather continues to worsen conditions across the Strip.
Aid is now entering Gaza, but the volume is far below what is needed to meet urgent humanitarian needs. Oxfam is scaling up its work in Gaza to assist partner organizations, people displaced by the conflict, and those on the move and choosing to return to their homes.
Do you want to know how to help Gaza? Here are some ways you can stand in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
How can I help Gaza? Donate to Oxfam's emergency appeal
The most pressing needs include food and healthcare and shelter, as well as water, sanitation and hygiene services (WASH) including menstrual products and waste management services.
With the support of people like you, Oxfam plans to reach 500,000 people as soon as we’re able. Over the next three months, we will focus on a range of emergency interventions including:
- Food
- Clean water
- Access to hygiene items, including menstrual products
- Rehabilitation of water and sanitation systems and wells
- Solid waste management
- Training and supplies for home gardens to help people grow vegetables
- Support for survivors of gender-based violence
Despite increased food shipments into Gaza, many cannot afford the food available in markets, and are suffering from hunger. Since the most recent ceasefire went into effect, Oxfam is sourcing materials within Gaza in order to scale up its work.
Despite huge obstacles, we’ve been responding with our partners, including the Palestinian Medical Relief Society, Juzoor for Health and Social Development, the Economic and Social Development Center of Palestine, the Palestinian Agriculture and Relief Commission, and the Palestinian Development Association.
In collaboration with 20 partner organizations in Gaza, Oxfam has reached more than 1.2 million people with lifesaving assistance since October 2023, including 800,000 people who have benefited from our water, sanitation, and hygiene work.
How can I help Gaza? Demand lifesaving aid for Gaza now
The recent announcement of the ceasefire deal in Gaza marks a major step forward in ending this war and alleviating suffering after two years of loss and destruction. Now comes the critical opportunity to save lives and create a peaceful future for all Palestinians and Israelis.
That’s why it’s so urgent to immediately increase the flow of lifesaving aid across every sector in Gaza, to save as many people as possible.
