Our emergency relief in Gaza - Donations for people in need

Due to the escalating Middle East conflict, the humanitarian situation for the civilian population in the Gaza Strip is life-threatening. The living conditions are catastrophic. The supply of food and other essential goods, as well as medical care, is almost impossible. Food supplies are almost exhausted, and medicines are in short supply. 1.9 million people are displaced within Gaza (as of March 2025).

Together with the Order of Malta and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, we have already distributed vital relief supplies and are now focusing on supporting medical aid in the northern Gaza Strip.

The situation in the Gaza Strip: Hunger and inadequate supplies of essential goods

The food situation is particularly dire: supplies are so limited that, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report, nearly half a million people are experiencing catastrophic hunger (Level 5 – the highest level on the IPC scale). Almost the entire population of approximately 2.1 million people is affected by acute food insecurity (as of May 2025).

Medical care in the Gaza Strip is on the brink of total collapse. Most health facilities have been destroyed, and the few hospitals still operating are completely overwhelmed, struggling to treat the large number of injured. In addition, the majority of the population lacks access to adequate sanitation and basic hygiene. Under these catastrophic conditions, disease is spreading rapidly. People in the Gaza Strip are in urgent need of humanitarian aid to survive.

Gaza and Lebanon: ”The situation can hardly be put into words.“

The escalation of violence in the Holy Land since October 2023 has caused great suffering among the people. Under the most difficult conditions, Malteser International was able to work with local partner organizations in 2024 to bring aid to the people in Lebanon and Gaza. “The situation of the population in Gaza can hardly be put into words. There are almost no buildings left intact. What the people there have had to endure since October 2023 is shocking and absolutely tragic,” says H. E. Fra’ Alessandro de Franciscis, then Grand Hospitaller of the Sovereign Order of Malta, after his visit to the “Holy Family” parish in Gaza City.
