People in the Gaza Strip continue to face a catastrophic humanitarian situation.
Despite a ceasefire being in place, basic necessities remain scarce, and hundreds of thousands of people are living in makeshiftconditions 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 needunrestricted access to humanitarian assistance, including healthcare.

Caritas Czech Republic continues to support those most in need in the Gaza Strip. The continuation of our activities is made possible by the Caritas for Gaza fundraising campaign. 

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
  • Deliveries of humanitarian aid remain insufficient and unstable. 

 


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

How Caritas Czech Republic helps

We are one of the few Czech organisations that has its own team in Gaza, which continues to provide assistance to people 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)

Caritas Czech Republic and Sawa: the art of listening during the conflict in Gaza

A ceasefire in Gaza was agreed almost two months ago. But the local atmosphere and the current situation of the people here, after months of siege, bombardment, starvation, and isolation, can hardly be considered peaceful. Therefore, Caritas Czech Republic continues to work on site and focuses its support primarily on health and psychosocial help. For example, we collaborate with Palestinian organisation Sawa that operates the 164 hotline for crisis intervention.

Aida’s story offers a look at Caritas Czech Republic’s activities in Gaza

Although the recent ceasefire stopped the imminent danger in Gaza, the peace agreement itself cannot heal the wounds, allow people to return to their broken homes, nor chase away their recurring nightmares. Caritas Czech Republic, together with the financial support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, helped to maintain the operation of the clinic of Caritas Jerusalem. The facility provided people with basic healthcare and psychosocial support. This activity was concluded at the end of October, but our colleagues remain on site and continue providing assistance primarily in systematic psychosocial support and crisis intervention. The people of Gaza have gone through severe hardship and they need long-term, professionally-led help. The following story is one of many.

Fragile ceasefire brings hope to Gaza, humanitarian crisis persists

The announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza on 10 October 2025 has brought a long-awaited moment of relief, not only to the population in Gaza, exhausted by two years of relentless conflict, but also to the world. For Palestinians who have endured unimaginable suffering and for Israelis who have lived in anguish over hostages, this truce offers a fragile glimmer of hope. Yet, behind the headlines of peace, the humanitarian catastrophe remains.

“Surgeries are performed without anaesthesia. There are no antibiotics, and painkillers are missing,” describes Jan Líska, staff member of Caritas Czech Republic. After two years of conflict in the Gaza Strip, the civilian population is facing extraordinarily difficult conditions.

Gaza Beyond the Headlines: Documentary photography exhibition from the clinic of Caritas Czech Republic

The exhibition Gaza Beyond the Headlines offers viewers a glimpse into the lives of local people – clients of a clinic that is a joint project of Caritas Czech Republic, Caritas Jerusalem, and the local organisation Sawa. The project is co-financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic. The intimate photographs of those who were willing to share their experiences were taken in August of this year. Although their situation was already extremely dire at that time, it has deteriorated further in the weeks since. Due to the rapidly worsening security situation and increasing attacks in the area, the clinic's operations have had to be suspended, and a new location is being sought where its activities may be resumed.
