After 11 bakeries in the Gaza Strip, Israel struck the only bakery in Maghazi refugee camp. The bakery where we used to queue for about four hours to buy a loaf of bread is no more. They want to starve us and destroy us.
Aseel Mousa, Gaza
Embargoed and blockaded Gaza has long been the world's largest open-air prison. Around 2 million Palestinians, deprived of the right to free movement, are struggling to survive in the city surrounded by high walls. In the city, where conditions have become even more difficult with the attacks carried out by the occupying Israel, needs such as hospitals, food, medicine, shelter, education and electricity cannot be met.

We provide urgent humanitarian aid for people of Gaza with your support.
SupportFinally, the Israeli army has resumed its bombardment of the Gaza Strip. Many countries are turning a blind eye to Israel's attacks. Habitats, refugee camps, hospitals and civilians continue to be targeted. Since October 7 alone, more than 10 thousand people have lost their lives. Thousands of homes have been destroyed and more than 1.5 million people have been forced to flee their homes.
In Gaza, which is already under a blockade and has electricity for 3-4 hours a day, Israel has restricted electricity and internet connection and besieged the city. This means that hospitals are not functioning and hundreds of thousands of people are unable to access basic needs, especially food.
