The humanitarian need in Gaza remains immense. Families are facing hunger, displacement and limited access to healthcare, clean water and safe shelter. Life‑saving support is urgently needed, and it must reach people consistently and at scale.
Aid must be able to flow freely so people can survive today and begin to recover tomorrow. Communities need not just immediate relief, but the chance to heal and rebuild their lives with dignity.
Your donation can help deliver essential support such as food, clean water, medical care and emergency shelter to families who have lost everything. It also helps ensure that trained local responders can continue reaching people in the most difficult and dangerous conditions.
Through the Gaza Crisis Appeal, the British Red Cross supports the Palestine Red Crescent Society and the International Committee of the Red Cross, who are on the ground providing vital assistance every day. Their work includes emergency healthcare, mental health support, clean water, shelter and protection for people at risk.
Despite enormous challenges, local teams continue to help people with the resources they have. Your generosity helps them do more, reach further and respond faster wherever the need is greatest.
By donating today, you are supporting impartial, neutral and life‑saving humanitarian action. You are helping families survive now, and helping communities prepare for recovery in the future.
People in Gaza need help. Your support can make it possible.
The Gaza Crisis appeal will support people in areas affected and those potentially affected in the future by this crisis. Gift Aid claimed on donations received in response to this appeal will be used to fund the whole of our work. In the event there are surplus funds raised for this appeal these will be used for the general charitable purposes of the British Red Cross.
