We know first-hand the toll war takes on the world’s most vulnerable people. Today, in Gaza, conflict is creating an enormous humanitarian crisis, as lives are lost and innocent families are displaced.
1.9 million people in Gaza have already been displaced and are in urgent crisis, needing food, shelter and supplies. Over 24,000 people have been killed and over 60,000 are injured.
Whenever such large amounts of people are displaced, the humanitarian need for shelter, food, clean water and supplies is urgent as families leave everything behind to save their lives.
ERDO will be responding to these desperate needs through Canadian Foodgrains Bank members, who have deep humanitarian partnerships in Israel and Gaza. In Gaza, humanitarian needs are growing. To provide emergency food to families impacted by the conflict in Gaza, please give today.
