IEA Gaza Appeal

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is continuing and has escalated into the neighbouring region of Lebanon. In the past year, more than 41,000 people have died, mostly women and children, and nearly 100,000 have been injured. Over one million people – more than half the population of Gaza - are struggling to access enough food to survive and nearly half a million people are on the brink of starvation.

Tearfund Ireland, as part of the Irish Emergency Alliance is appealing for donations to provide humanitarian support to those in desperate need. Despite challenges of aid blockages, members of the Irish Emergency Alliance have played a vital role in ensuring a steady flow of emergency aid reaches those most in need. Working directly with trusted, established partners we are providing food, clean water, medical care and other essentials into Gaza. We are also providing essential supplies for the worsening humanitarian crisis in southern Lebanon.

Tearfund Ireland, through our international network of Christian humanitarian organisations, have established a partnership with an organisation that delivers medical supplies into emergency situations. In recent months, this partner has delivered essential medicines and supplies for thousands of patients in Gaza. These shipments have included essential medical supplies, such as insulin, essential medicine to stop the spread of infections, including antibiotics and water purification tablets and medicine for chronic health conditions, including cancer and non-communicable diseases.

In addition, our long-term partners in Lebanon continue working with churches and community leaders to aid those who have fled their homes in Southern Lebanon.
