In the midst of the current volatile situation in Gaza, the logistical challenges of delivering aid to the region are undeniable. However, Humaniti operates on a collaborative and partnership-driven model, enabling us to work alongside organizations with a longstanding presence in Gaza, predating the recent conflicts. Humaniti maintains a network of reputable partners, registered charities, NGOs, and trusted organizations, to facilitate the efficient delivery of aid to Gaza. Our operations in Gaza began before the full blockade was imposed, as we initiated partnerships with four organizations which were already operating within Gaza, procuring items from local suppliers. Humaniti then began working with another trusted partner organization which had an inventory of food and non-food items in their warehouse in Gaza as well as a water well that is being used to provide water. At this time, none of our aid is getting in, but we are working with a handful of organizations that have been allowed by the Israeli government to bring in aid through the Rafah border. Thus, Humaniti has established a process which allows us to provide aid in Gaza despite the blockade.

Essential supplies in Gaza are currently running out, posing a critical challenge that Humaniti is working to address. Our dedicated partner, leveraging the efforts of local aid workers, is actively engaged in procuring fundamental resources that are available to extend vital support. At this time, supplies are very limited, and in some cases, we have run out of aid. A substantial portion of our supplies, including crucial items such as pallets of medicine, remains in anticipation outside the Rafah border. Humaniti has initiated preparations for tents equipped with essential provisions specifically tailored for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who have been able to enter Egypt. Despite the existing challenges, we remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering timely and indispensable aid to those in need in any capacity we can.

Since the recent conflict in Gaza began, we’ve been actively providing a variety of essential items, adapting to the evolving needs and restrictions. Initially, we started off by providing hot meals, drinking water/water tanks, medicine, medical supplies and equipment, fuel, flour, more hot meals, blankets, mattresses, clean water sources, emergency shelter, and medical supplies for local hospitals. When the borders closed, our supply availability became limited, especially in terms of fuel, medicine, and medical equipment. However, we continued providing important assistance like hot meals, cash vouchers, a limited supply of water tanks, blankets, hygiene kits, winter clothes for kids, and community meals to feed a large group.

Your generous contributions are used to invest in projects in Gaza in collaboration with our partners on the ground. Our partners have been procuring items from local suppliers and, in some cases, using their own stores from their ongoing work within Gaza to provide aid. Humaniti also has a truck with a substantial amount of aid on standby, waiting to enter Gaza.
