Gaza Strip
Caritas for Gaza
Help civilians survive this humanitarian crisis
The Gaza Strip is experiencing one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time. In this sealed-off area with no escape, essential resources such as clean water, food, medicine, electricity, and safe shelter are critically scarce. The prolonged conflict continues to devastate civilian lives, with many families having nowhere safe to go and nowhere to return to. Most buildings have been damaged or destroyed, leaving more than two million people living in extremely difficult conditions. Caritas Czech Republic continues to provide support on the ground. Thanks to our fundraising campaign, we focus primarily on providing essential psychological and social support to those affected by the crisis.

Children among those most affected
21 July, 2026
According to the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry, Palestinian children have been subjected to violations of international law described as part of a genocide. They are among the groups most affected by violence, displacement, or malnutrition.
24/7 CRISIS HELPLINE
What people in Gaza are experiencing
Every month, hundreds of people across Palestine contact the SAWA crisis helpline, which is supported by Caritas Czech Republic. Callers speak of profound trauma, fear and desperate efforts to protect their children. Compared with 2025, the proportion of callers reporting suicidal thoughts has risen significantly. Helpline operators provide information about available support services as well as basic psychological assistance.
INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT – CASE MANAGEMENT
Behind every number is a human story
The most complex cases are confidentially referred to a case management social worker. Working closely with local partners, the social worker provides rapid, coordinated support, including safe shelter, food, hygiene supplies, psychosocial assistance, and legal support.
This coordinated approach ensures that help reaches even the most vulnerable people, many of whom would otherwise be left without support.
