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

Humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Caritas Czech Republic launches an appeal to help affected civilians

The war between Israel and Hamas has caused a humanitarian disaster for the civilian population of the Gaza Strip. In a closed area from which there is no escape and nowhere to hide, basic needs, including drinking water, food, medicine and electricity, are running out. Caritas Czech Republic has released funds from its emergency fund and is launching a collection to help affected civilians in the Gaza Strip. They urgently need immediate and safe access to basic humanitarian aid, including medical care. Caritas Jerusalem, which currently has 100 staff on the ground in Gaza, has long provided this assistance.

Diary from Gaza

"I walk more than a kilometre through a desert tunnel made of wires with automatic gates. Green light, we can go through. Red light, we wait. No one in sight, all visible signs of human presence seem to have disappeared. This place outside of time and space is called Erez: the border that connects Israel to Gaza and Gaza to Israel. A connecting line between two worlds," Rachel Felgines, working at Caritas Internationalis in the Middle East, described the situation in the Gaza Strip in 2016. Today, this crossing into Gaza is also closed.  Moreover, the escalation of the conflict from 7th of October has worsened the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
