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)

Hunger, displacement, exhaustion – Gaza on the brink of survival

The situation in Gaza has deteriorated dramatically in recent weeks, and the humanitarian crisis continues. People face ongoing displacement, attacks, food shortages and uncertainty about what the next day will bring. Despite the expansion of the Israeli military offensive in Gaza City and the worsening security conditions, Caritas Czech Republic remains active, continuing to support the most vulnerable.

Light for Lost Childhood: Caritas joined a silent act of solidarity

On Thursday, 4 September 2025, the centre of Prague transformed into a space of quiet remembrance and human solidarity. A commemorative procession and subsequent benefit concert entitled Light for Lost Childhood in Palestine and Israel attracted hundreds of people who came to express compassion for child victims. The event emerged from the collaboration of numerous initiatives and humanitarian and non-profit organisations. The spiritual dimension was shaped by catholic priest Tomáš Halík and pastor Mikuláš Vymětal of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren, who were closely involved in the event’s realisation.

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.
