Families enduring the unimaginable

Why Gaza? 

Gaza is facing a humanitarian catastrophe on an unprecedented scale. 

Years of intense bombardment, ground operations, and siege have devastated civilian infrastructure. Over 1.9 million people, around 90% of Gaza’s population, are displaced. Many have been forced to move again and again, seeking shelter in damaged buildings, overcrowded camps, or makeshift tents, without the basics needed to survive.

Right now in Gaza, food, clean water, and medical care are in critically short supply, resulting in avoidable illnesses and disease. Aid access remains severely restricted.  

The situation is worsened by the collapse of essential services. Meanwhile, fighting continues impacting families sheltering or seeking aid at distribution points. 

Nowhere is safe and humanitarian needs remain at crisis levels.

What are we doing?

Despite the dire conditions in Gaza, ReliefAid’s team, all of them displaced themselves, continue to deliver aid. 

Delivering water

In Gaza, our team delivers safe drinking water to 2,000 people each day. This water is sourced from boreholes and treated at one of the few remaining operational desalination plants inside Gaza, ensuring water delivery without dependence on border access. 

This means that even if the borders are closed into Gaza, your support still makes an impact. 

Gaza’s water infrastructure is on the brink of collapse with a small minority of safe drinking-water producing facilities remaining functional. This means families are forced to drink unsafe, dirty water – resulting in the spread of disease. 

To keep families safe and healthy, we have distributed water to over 1 million people, costing just $0.90 per person – a small investment with the power to safeguard lives. 

Delivering food

During the conflict our team in Gaza has distributed ready-made meals and food packages to families sheltering in displacement camps. This offered hope at a time when malnutrition was rife, and food was needed most.

With limited aid reaching Gaza, families are still going hungry.

Act now: Join us to support our ongoing water distributions and demand action to end the suffering. Your support makes a difference. 

Every dollar helps us deliver the essentials: safe drinking water is vital for families. But we are racing against time, Gaza cannot wait.

Our team in Gaza 

ReliefAid has been operating with dedicated teams in both northern and southern Gaza since the beginning of the war. The cost of this war has been devastating. In northern Gaza, eight members of our team have been tragically killed in missile attacks, and two were seriously injured. 

In the south, our team continues their life-saving work – distributing clean water every day to families sheltering in displacement camps. Ahmad, our team leader in southern Gaza, describes the daily reality: 

The situation is extremely difficult. Food is scarce, and what’s available is often unaffordable or lacking nutrition. My family and the kids are holding on, but it’s not easy, especially with the constant worry and uncertainty.

Despite the danger and hardship, Ahmad shows up every day to support his community: 

When I share the water, I also share the joy and love. I work and I have a message to deliver. That we have a life, and this life should be good with potable water, and smiles, and doing good things to help others.
