Gaza in crisis: Caritas Czech Republic sustains hope where it is needed most

Since October 2023, the Gaza Strip has been facing a profound humanitarian crisis. The civilian population is repeatedly displaced and faces a severe shortage of essential resources, including drinking water, food, medicine, and electricity. The area is entirely cut off from the outside world, with no safe refuge and no means of escape. In this environment, Caritas Czech Republic is working to assist. With its team on the ground in Gaza, the organisation delivers basic healthcare, psychosocial support, and humanitarian aid.

Gaza: Starvation or Gunfire - This is Not a Humanitarian Response

Caritas Czech Republic joined a call of more than 200 NGOs for immediate action to end the deadly Israeli distribution scheme (including the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) in Gaza, revert to the existing UN-led coordination mechanisms, and lift the Israeli government’s blockade on aid and commercial supplies. The 400 aid distribution points operating during the temporary ceasefire across Gaza have now been replaced by just four military-controlled distribution sites, forcing two million people into overcrowded, militarized zones where they face daily gunfire and mass casualties while trying to access food and are denied other life-saving supplies.
