Nearly a year ago, the ground assault on Gaza began—a brutal chapter in an ongoing tragedy that has seen tens of thousands of Palestinians injured and over 40,000 killed. For too many, Gaza’s suffering has become the “new normal,” and some have even lost hope that peace will ever come. But we cannot afford to give up. Not on Gaza. Not today, not tomorrow. The people of Gaza deserve safety, dignity and a future. We all have a role to play in making that a reality. Here are three actions you can take today to support Gaza and help pave the way for peace: 1) Demand a ceasefire. The mass killing of innocent people must end and we must be able to properly respond to the mass humanitarian needs. 2) Share our work with your community. 3) Donate and support our relief efforts at anera.org/gaza-emergency. Whatever action you take, remember: the people of Gaza are not statistics—they are human beings, and they need our solidarity now more than ever. #DontForgetGaza #SupportGaza #DayOfNonviolence

Before the latest invasion on Lebanon, 42% of the population already faced food insecurity. Now, with over 1 million people internally displaced, the situation has grown even more dire. In response, Anera is working with local kitchens to provide essential meals to the most vulnerable communities in Beirut, Bekaa and the south. Since September, our team has served 36,139 meals—and we’re just getting started. Your support is critical in helping us continue this work in Lebanon.

We received 4.5 tons of emergency medical supplies from Direct Relief, and support from PQMD, including syringes, saline solution, and lifesaving medications, which we donated to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health. This generous contribution strengthens Lebanon’s capacity to respond and save lives during these challenging times. Follow our daily updates on the response log: https://lnkd.in/gUCHmrnb

What’s it like to be a humanitarian worker in the heart of Gaza? “Sami” gives you an intimate, first-hand look into the life of a father, husband, and aid worker on the frontlines of the crisis. Since the start of Israel’s ground invasion in October 2023, Sami has faced devastation daily, yet he continues to serve his community. This short but powerful film captures his personal reflections, moments with family, and the harsh realities of life in Gaza.

Our team in #Lebanon is addressing the critical need for clean #water. Many shelters lack access to safe water, but thanks to our efforts, we’ve successfully provided over 55,000 gallons of contamination-tested water to those in need. This impact is only possible with the continued support of our donors. Head to our website to donate to our ongoing emergency response: https://lnkd.in/gRCxPnBm.

As the horrors in northern Gaza continue to unfold, our team remains focused on what they can do. Miraculously, they have been able to continue food deliveries to hungry families. Today, we provided critical aid to displaced families in northern Gaza through meals. In Jabalia, the team delivered 8,600 meals, with an additional 1,850 meals in Al Saraya. We also delivered 561 bags of flour, meal and rice. We remain steadfast in our commitment to support families in Gaza whenever and wherever we can. Thank you to our community for allowing us to provide temporary relief during an ongoing nightmare. #NorthernGaza #NorthGaza #Jabalia

With support from our partners at Islamic Relief USA (IRUSA), we’ve been able to provide food assistance to tens of thousands of individuals in Gaza over the past six months. In Rafah, central Gaza and Khan Younis, 90,000 individuals received daily hot meals for 48 consecutive days. This initiative helped sustain entire communities, providing much-needed relief at a time when access to food was limited. Meanwhile, in North Gaza, 15,000 individuals were supported with hot meals delivered daily for the same period, addressing immediate hunger and giving families a sense of stability. Additionally, we provided 15,086 individuals with bags of fresh produce. Each household received seven bags over the course of 48 days, providing vital nutrition and reinforcing food security. These efforts, made possible by our collaboration with IRUSA, have been a lifeline for many families in Gaza. 🧡 Support our emergency response in Gaza at anera.org/gaza-emergency. #foodrelief #gaza #humanitarianaid #gazastrip #palestine

Our team member, Areej, reports from the ground, where she is currently taking shelter in the north. Fleeing the recent bombardment of Jabalia Camp, she found refuge in a northern shelter and shares her firsthand account of the devastation. The situation on the ground is dire, marked by relentless violence that feels unending. This is year two of the war on Gaza. #Jabalia #Gaza #NorthGaza #GazaStories #DontForgetGaza #CeasefireNow
