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

6 ways Caritas Czech Republic supports refugees to become self-sufficient

There are currently more than 122 million displaced people in the world. Whether they have fled abroad or stayed in their countries, they are trying to start again from zero in new places. Refugees, despite many prejudices, do not wait with their hand out for help, but instead want to work, study and stand on their own two feet. But they need support at the beginning to succeed. Caritas Czech Republic is helping them to do just that.

220 days of war in Gaza. Caritas continues to help despite dire conditions

The escalation of the conflict in Gaza has been going on for 220 days now, with tragic consequences for the population. People are living in desperate conditions without access to basic needs and health services. More than 35 000 Palestinians have lost their lives and almost 2 million people have been forced to leave their homes. Moreover, the expansion of Israeli military operations into Rafah in southern Gaza is leading to further massive displacement. Caritas continues to provide humanitarian aid in Gaza despite the dire conditions.
