Gaza Hunger Crisis
That doesn't just mean that children are going hungry.
With acute malnutrition, the body actually starts eating itself -- first any fat stores, then the muscles and even the heart. Children wake in the night crying from hunger, their small bodies aching and exhausted. Even a simple infection becomes deadly.
We have to do something about this -- and we know how.
Across Gaza, community groups and farmers are racing to restore farmlands that were systematically destroyed in the genocide. They're replanting vegetables, fixing water wells, and even planting new olive groves -- but they need funding to plant enough food to feed their people.
This is where we come in -- every $10 can help grow about 25kg (55lbs) of fresh food. Imagine what we can help build if thousands and thousands of us chipped in? Together, we could help revive Gaza's food systems, securing food and drinking water for thousands and thousands of children.
And it doesn't stop there. Your donation will also fund campaigns to end illegal demolitions and forced displacement, push for accountability, and protect children’s futures.
This is a chance to do more than respond to a catastrophe. It is an opportunity to rebuild what violence has tried to erase. By coming together, thousands of us from across the world can help turn fragile recovery into lasting resilience. Please donate what you can now.
