Alessio —
Not only have Palestinians and aid workers in Rafah been displaced multiple times already, there is simply nowhere safe left for them to go.
As the situation in Gaza intensifies, the call for a ceasefire and access for desperately needed humanitarian aid is louder than ever.
Recent Developments:
Israel has issued evacuation orders in central and eastern Rafah, endangering over a million civilians. The closure of the Rafah border crossing has severely disrupted humanitarian operations, including ours. This included the movement of humanitarian personnel and the flow of crucial aid from Egypt, pushing the region deeper into despair.
IRC’s Immediate Response:
Our dedication to the region remains strong in the face of these overwhelming challenges. Here’s a snapshot of how we’re helping:
Medical Care:
The International Rescue Committee and our partner, Medical Aid for Palestinians, have deployed six successive Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) to Gaza to provide emergency and life-saving medical care. To date, our EMTs have provided at least 384 surgeries and 1,243 consultations, including minor procedures and supporting people with critical care. We are providing nearly 10% of all surgeries there.
The IRC has also procured and delivered 46 metric tons of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies which the IRC and our partners distributed to support health facilities across Gaza.With another partner, Juzoor for Health and Social Development, three mobile health teams have provided more than 30,000 patient consultations in Gaza. The teams have been providing health services in three shelter clusters in northern Gaza since February.
Food Security:
Working with the Welfare Association, we distributed fresh food parcels to 3,450 families, helping to secure the nutrition needed amid the chaos.
Trauma Recovery Support for Children and Families :
The IRC is supporting partners like Nafs in Gaza to provide critical services such as health care, including mental health and psychosocial support. We have begun delivering activities through six mobile community centres—three in Gaza and three in the West Bank. These will reach 5,000 children within the next few months.
Your Support is Vital:
The current circumstances demand not only continued, but increased support. Your donations empower us to expand our aid further to deliver even greater assistance.
