Islamic Relief USA’s long-term development programs in #Gaza were all re-directed to support and scale up our emergency efforts such as providing food, medical aid, hygiene kits, water, clothes, and more to displaced people. Our work has had to continually adapt to meet changing needs and varying availability of items. Humanitarian staff and partners in Gaza are enduring the same challenges as the communities they support, including displacement, with one colleague saying she feels Palestinians have been ‘forgotten by the world’. 💔 Despite these enormous challenges, they remain committed to providing aid to vulnerable communities. 🕊 https://lnkd.in/eysaq7YX

GAZA: ONE YEAR LATER 🚨💔 365 days of crisis... In 2012, a United Nations report questioned if #Gaza would be a livable place by 2020, pointing to population growth and the Israeli blockade. Now, in 2024, there remains little doubt that conditions inside Gaza have become truly unlivable. It's been a year full of tragedy and grief. While it can oftentimes feel hopeless, your donations, your advocacy, and your prayers have made an impact. The people of #Palestine need your help now more than ever 📢 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eysaq7YX

Almost nothing remains of Gaza’s medical infrastructure.❗️ The crisis has seen an increase in the spread of disease among displaced communities, with the most common health issues reported being skin diseases and intestinal problems. Poor nutrition, unsafe drinking water, poor sanitation, and the crowded conditions of camps are all contributing factors. 📌 In August, polio re-emerged in #Gaza for the first time in 25 years due to the desperate conditions. Lives are at stake, and the need for urgent support has never been greater. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eysaq7YX

🔴 One year later, over 41,000 people have been killed and thousands more have been injured or deemed missing, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. A recent study in The Lancet, a peer-reviewed general medical journal, has found the true death toll could reach more than 186,000 people. To add, a ‘total blockade’ has been put in place, cutting off 2 million civilians from access to food, electricity, and fuel. While issues related to the delivery of humanitarian aid persist, IRUSA partners are continuing to work on the ground providing crucial aid. Continue your support for #Gaza ❗️ https://lnkd.in/eysaq7YX #Palestine #PrayforPalestine #AllEyesonGaza
