Gaza Crisis Appeal
The escalation of violence in Israel and Palestine is devastating, with civilians, many of whom are innocent women and children paying the price.
The latest news of a bombing of a hospital in Gaza, with at least 500 Palestinians killed so far has escalated this human toll to a level that is unconscionable. Many of those injured, or worse killed, are children.
ActionAid is on the ground right now in Gaza. Even in the appalling circumstances, our local partners have continued to provide essential services whilst others are supporting the thousands displaced in shelters.
We’re also preparing to bring in aid through the much called for humanitarian corridor. When it’s safe to do so, we will be ready to support our local team to respond immediately to this crisis, to the thousands who are without food, water or shelter and to support the protection of women and children.

ActionAid’s Response in Gaza
We call on the international community to support an immediate end to violence and to seek peace talks, as this represents the most effective means to protect civilians and realise human rights in both Israel and Gaza.
80% of the population of Gaza were already living on humanitarian assistance, this poverty can only fully be addressed through ending the violence and occupation.
Why is it important to make a donation for the Gaza crisis?
Making a donation for the Gaza Crisis Appeal through ActionAid is crucial for several reasons. The people of Gaza, including vulnerable women and children, are facing an acute humanitarian crisis, with essential supplies and emergency medical aid urgently needed. We are appealing for funds now both to respond as far as possible to immediate needs and because we know that once the fighting stops needs will be immense. Even in the appalling circumstances our local partners continue to support people in Gaza. And when it’s safe to do so, once the fighting stops, we need to be ready to respond immediately to its impact, to the thousands who will be without food, water or shelter and to support the protection of women and girls. We need funds now to prepare for this.
Your contribution can make a significant impact, saving lives and providing essential support to those who need it the most. By donating to ActionAid, you join a collective effort to alleviate the suffering and bring hope to a community in dire need.
Where your money goes
90% of your donation will go directly to our Gaza Crisis Appeal, providing vital supplies to the survivors of the conflict and those still living through it.
10% of your donation will be retained for ActionAid’s Emergency Action Fund which will only be used for ensuring we are prepared and able to respond quickly and more effectively to future emergencies and crises.
If the total amount raised for this appeal exceeds the funds needed for the response, ActionAid will transfer the remaining balance to the Emergency Action Fund.
