Gaza Crisis Appeal

• Over 80% of people in the Gaza Strip live below the poverty line leading children to give up their schools and studies and look for laborious jobs from a very young age to support their struggling families.
• The quality and quantity of water in Gaza has also declined. Only some of the population have access to water for only a few hours a day.

Children are among those most at risk. Recent reports indicate there have been an increase in chronic disease and malnutrition among children under the age of 5 in the Gaza Strip as well as an increase in children suffering from diarrhoea, insomnia and anxiety.

Medical services in Gaza are deteriorating, private industry has more or less collapsed, and there is increasing poverty and dependence on international aid, which has risen sharply over the past eight months.

Gaza’s hospitals lack sufficient beds, drugs, resuscitation devices, needles, and blood to meet the demand and more than 80 percent of the population in Gaza is receiving emergency supplementary rations from U.N. agencies as their main source of food. In addition, sanitation has become a significant health issue. Lack of access to spare parts and fuel needed to operate and maintain the city’s sewage pumps and reservoirs means that Gazans have no means of safely disposing of their waste.

"The poorest families are now living a meagre existence totally reliant on assistance, with no electricity or heating and eating food prepared with water from bad sources” (WFP)

"Palestinian women are suffering massively from malnutrition, especially when they are pregnant, nursing, or have high rates of poverty as widowed heads of household" (UN)
