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.

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)

There is a catastrophic shortage of even the most basic necessities. Caritas has 12 medical teams on the ground providing both healthcare and psychological assistance. Caritas Czech Republic is ensuring additional healthcare for civilians in Gaza.

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.
