Situation Update
Humanitarian needs in Gaza continue to deteriorate due to deeply insufficient health care access, entrenched food insecurity, and limited access to water, sanitation, and hygiene services. The vast majority of families have had their lives uprooted multiple times, with 1.9 million people internally displaced by the conflict and living in crowded informal tent settlements, camps, or abandoned buildings.
As the Israeli Defense Forces continue a ground offensive in Rafah, it is clear that without a cessation of hostilities and a substantial increase in the amount of aid entering Gaza, the scale of humanitarian need will only continue to grow as more and more people suffer preventable illness and death.
Project HOPE continues to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and expanded humanitarian access to deliver urgent, lifesaving aid.
