People in the Gaza Strip continue to face a catastrophic humanitarian situation. Despite a ceasefire, basic necessities remain scarce, and hundreds of thousands of people live in makeshift conditions without regular access to food, medicines, or electricity. The long‑running conflict has had a devastating impact on civilians, and its consequences will be felt for decades to come. People need unrestricted access to humanitarian assistance, including healthcare and psychological assistance.

Caritas Czech Republic continues to support those most in need in the Gaza Strip. The Caritas for Gaza fundraising campaign makes our continued work possible. 

Why donate now

  • Despite the war, around 2 million people still live in Gaza
  • During the conflict, 1.9 million people have been displaced
  • Two-thirds of the population are living in camps in makeshift conditions 
  • 92% of residential buildings have been damaged or destroyed
  • Healthcare facilities are operating only to a limited extent
  • Humanitarian aid deliveries remain insufficient and unstable. 

 


Many people think the suffering in Gaza is only about destroyed buildings and shortages of food, but there is another crisis that cannot always be seen—the psychological impact of living through continuous war.

Children have grown up surrounded by explosions, displacement, and loss. Many no longer feel safe, even when there is no immediate danger.

How Caritas Czech Republic helps

We are one of the few Czech organisations directly helping local people in the Gaza Strip and continue to provide assistance on the ground. We have long‑term cooperation with the Palestinian organisation Sawa. In 2025, we also worked with Caritas Jerusalem and the organisation Juzoor to provide basic healthcare. We are currently focusing on: 
 
  • Individual social and psychological support (case social work)
  • Crisis telephone intervention
  • Provision of basic living needs (such as accommodation and access to healthcare)

Separated by war: A mother's testimony from Gaza

Separated by war: A mother's testimony from Gaza

For many parents, the thought of being separated from their children is unbearable. Yet war has a way of turning such nightmares into reality. Nesma knows this all too well. In October 2023, she accompanied her son to the West Bank so that he could undergo heart surgery. When the conflict in Gaza erupted, their journey home became unexpectedly complicated. Nesma was separated from her twelve other children for months. The testimony of her family is a stark reminder of the devastating impact armed conflicts have on the lives of innocent civilians. What role did Caritas Czech Republic play in their story?
People in Gaza increasingly face suicidal thoughts

People in Gaza increasingly face suicidal thoughts

The humanitarian crisis and attacks in the Gaza Strip did not end with the ceasefire. A tragic indication is, for example, the fact that 300 children lost their lives over the past ten months. People still do not have sufficient access to basic needs, including drinking water. Two million of them are displaced and live in permanent fear and insecurity. There is no safe space in Gaza. All these factors have a significant impact on the mental health of local residents. According to the organisation Sawa, which Caritas Czech Republic supports, increasing numbers of people in Gaza face suicidal thoughts.

Airstrikes keep them awake, yet they help others. On World Humanitarian Day, we celebrate their work

Humanitarian workers help people overcome the most excruciating life moments, while risking their own lives. In 2003, 22 humanitarian workers were killed in a bombing attack in Baghdad. Every year on 19 August, we commemorate their memory, as well as the work of hundreds of thousands of other humanitarian workers around the world. This year, we prepared short testimonies for you, written by our employees from the Czech Republic, Ukraine and Zambia. Their work supports those who often perceive humanitarian help as their only source of hope.

Invisible crisis and incredible resilience. Caritas's social worker describes the life in Gaza

The loss of relatives, repeated displacement, lack of food, and never-ending fear. That is what life in Gaza has looked like for months and years. How does the current situation affect the mental health of local people? That is what the social worker of Caritas Czech Republic discusses in this interview. Although she also deals with daily obstacles of living in the Gaza Strip, she helps others manage the psychological burden and find hope again.

The humanitarian crisis in the Middle East continues, half a million people remain displaced

Several months after the beginning of the conflict in the Middle East, the situation in the region remains insecure. Ceasefires are not respected, which continues to complicate lives of civilians. In conflict-affected areas, humanitarian conditions are critical, exacerbated by damaged infrastructure, disrupted services, and population displacement. In Lebanon alone, more than one million people were on the run during spring. Over half a million of them have not returned home yet.
