URGENT: ISRAEL-GAZA EMERGENCY APPEAL

Thank you for your generous support to the ICRC's life-saving work in Israel and the Occupied Territories.

The ICRC continues to do everything within our power to support people affected by the conflict, including trying all possible means to get aid, including critical health care, into Gaza, and persistently advocating on behalf of hostages being held in Gaza.

The consequences of this conflict are already immense and will be long-lasting – and so must humanitarian responses to them. Your support will play a vital part in enabling our work to assist and protect people affected by the conflict, supporting immediate life-saving assistance whilst fighting persists and / or in providing essential support to communities thereafter. We will continue to need to adapt and respond to the most urgent humanitarian needs in the region. Please therefore know that your kind donation is supporting a package of humanitarian work through to the end of 2025.
