Your help is urgently needed for families affected by violence in the Holy Land!
Since October 2023, a humanitarian crisis has escalated across the Holy Land with a total siege on Gaza following an unprecedented attack on Israel. Since the start of these tragic events, Gaza has become one of the world's most dangerous places for civilians. More than 90% of the population has been displaced multiple times; hundreds of thousands of people are facing hunger; and the death toll has reached tens of thousands of people. Living conditions are desperate, with all needs—food, clean water, shelter and sanitation—at critical levels as people struggle to survive continued deprivation and distress.
The conflict has extended impacts in Lebanon, where escalating conflict has displaced more than 100,000 people along the southern border who are now living in extremely vulnerable conditions.
Pope Francis has called on people worldwide to “pray that there be peace in Israel and Palestine.”
Catholic Relief Services and Caritas partners need immediate support to meet urgent humanitarian needs as the situation intensifies. Our long-standing presence in Gaza and across the Holy Land allows us to quickly adapt and mobilize to respond to the quickly changing context, with a deep understanding and trusted relationships with the communities we serve. Within Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, we are providing a range of critical assistance, including food, shelter, cash assistance, hygiene supplies and care for people’s grief and emotional well-being. Support will transition to sustainable recovery efforts once the context has stabilized.
With your gift, families and civilians across the Holy Land whose lives have been thoroughly disrupted due to circumstances beyond their control, will have vital relief and care as they seek refuge and relief.
Your prayers and support will make so much difference. Please give a vital gift today!
