The Gaza Strip is facing a catastrophic humanitarian situation
. In a closed area with nowhere to flee and nowhere to hide, basic needs including drinking water, food, medicine and electricity are running out. The escalation of the conflict is hitting civilians hardest. They urgently need immediate and safe access to basic humanitarian assistance, including health care. Caritas Jerusalem has long been involved in providing this assistance. Proceeds from the collection will support Caritas Jerusalem in providing essential medical care and humanitarian aid in Gaza.

Why donate now

  • Despite the war, around 2 million people still live in Gaza
  • 1.9 million people have been displaced due to the attacks
  • Every fifth child in Gaza suffers from severe malnutrition
  • 92% of residential buildings are damaged or destroyed
  • Most of the healthcare infrastructure is also destroyed
  • Gaza is a sealed-off area with no way out for civilians

 


In Gaza, suffering is everywhere but so is resilience. Through Caritas Czech Republic, we help people reclaim their dignity, one step at a time. Locals now recognize Czechia not just by name, but by the healing it brings. Your support means hope in the darkest of days.

Ola, Case Management Coordinator of Caritas Czech Republic

Peaceful procession “Light for Lost Childhood” – Caritas Czech Republic commemorates child victims in Palestine and Israel

On Thursday, 4 September 2025, a silent procession entitled Light for Lost Childhood in Palestine and Israel will pass through Prague, honouring the memory of children who have fallen victim to violence and war. A benefit concert at Lucerna Music Bar will follow the procession. The initiative has emerged from a broad coalition of movements, spiritual leaders, individuals, artists, and humanitarian and non-governmental organisations. Caritas Czech Republic is among them, and part of the proceeds from the concert will be allocated to the Caritas for Gaza fundraising campaign.

"I no longer remember what food tastes like," said the girl in Gaza. Her words echo the reality humanitarian workers face every day

Since May, Ola has been coordinating social work in southern Gaza. Despite her own exhaustion and painful losses, she helps every day those who have lost their homes, suffer from hunger, or need psychological support. Under the programme funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic and fundraiser Caritas for Gaza, Caritas provides basic healthcare, medicine distribution, crisis intervention, and training of local social workers and psychologists. We are among the few organisations with staff on the ground in the Gaza Strip, working to ensure that people there do not lose hope or access to support—a commitment we honour and reflect on the World Humanitarian Day.

Gaza in crisis: Caritas Czech Republic sustains hope where it is needed most

Since October 2023, the Gaza Strip has been facing a profound humanitarian crisis. The civilian population is repeatedly displaced and faces a severe shortage of essential resources, including drinking water, food, medicine, and electricity. The area is entirely cut off from the outside world, with no safe refuge and no means of escape. In this environment, Caritas Czech Republic is working to assist. With its team on the ground in Gaza, the organisation delivers basic healthcare, psychosocial support, and humanitarian aid.

Three dead in shelling of church in Gaza: Statement from Caritas Internationalis

Caritas Czech Republic shares the official statement from Caritas Internationalis regarding the tragic shelling of the Holy Family Church in Gaza, in which three civilians lost their lives. The church had served as a refuge for hundreds of people of various faiths. The statement calls for the protection of civilians, respect for humanitarian law, and an immediate ceasefire.

Gaza: Starvation or Gunfire - This is Not a Humanitarian Response

Caritas Czech Republic joined a call of more than 200 NGOs for immediate action to end the deadly Israeli distribution scheme (including the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) in Gaza, revert to the existing UN-led coordination mechanisms, and lift the Israeli government’s blockade on aid and commercial supplies. The 400 aid distribution points operating during the temporary ceasefire across Gaza have now been replaced by just four military-controlled distribution sites, forcing two million people into overcrowded, militarized zones where they face daily gunfire and mass casualties while trying to access food and are denied other life-saving supplies.
