The people of Gaza are struggling to survive a massive humanitarian crisis. Here are some ways you can help Palestinian organizations provide humanitarian assistance, and stand in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

One of the best ways to donate to Gaza is to support Oxfam’s program, working with 20 local organizations led by Palestinians in Gaza.

With support from people like you, Oxfam has assisted Palestinian organizations in Gaza that have reached 1.5 million people.

Oxfam partners in Gaza are providing:

  • 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 huge obstacles, Oxfam continues to respond to the crisis in Gaza, working closely with the Palestinian Medical Relief Society, Juzoor for Health and Social Development, the Economic and Social Development Center of Palestine, and the Palestinian Agriculture and Relief Commission.

Many Palestinians across Gaza are traveling back to their homes, or what remains of them, to begin a long process of recovery and reconstruction.

Demand lifesaving aid for Gaza now

The 2025 ceasefire deal in Gaza marks a step forward in ending this war and alleviating suffering after nearly three years of loss and destruction. However the Israeli government is still blocking much of the humanitarian aid people in Gaza need to survive and live with dignity.

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.

Add your name: Urge Congress to help ensure that families in Gaza receive the lifesaving aid they need to recover and rebuild their lives in safety and dignity

Can I donate supplies?

The best way to donate to Gaza is through monetary contributions to established humanitarian organizations such as Oxfam, because Israeli authorities have blocked critical supplies from entering Gaza.
