Gaza Crisis Appeal
“Each morning, the same question echoes across Gaza: will I eat today?”
Today, Palestinians in Gaza face an impossible choice: starve, or risk being shot while trying desperately to reach food to feed their families.
For over 20 months, more than two million people in Gaza have faced relentless bombardment, forced displacement, and the weaponization of food, water, and aid. Since October 2023, more than 56,000 Palestinians have lost their lives, including at least 17,000 children (July 2025 figures).
The destruction of civilian infrastructure has left nearly everyone in Gaza without clean drinking water or enough food. The healthcare system has collapsed, with medical workers and patients under constant threat of attack and denied access to essential care. These ongoing violations of human rights and international humanitarian law deepen the crisis.
Your gift will support ACT Alliance and their local church partners in Gaza. Together, they provide urgent emergency relief and work to restore basic services for people affected by the violence in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.
Our goals:
-
Deliver immediate, life-saving emergency assistance to those impacted by the violence.
-
Help restore access to essential services to rebuild communities devastated by conflict.
Please give today to bring hope and relief where it is needed most.
