The Situation Since Israel was violently attacked on Oct. 7 and the ongoing hostilities escalated, tens of thousands of people have been reported killed or injured in Israel and Gaza. An estimated 1.7 million people are displaced in Gaza—about 75 percent of the population. Those displaced are living in overcrowded, makeshift shelters without access to basic necessities like clean water and adequate nutrition, heightening health concerns. “The situation is absolutely dire—tens of thousands of families need food, clean water and shelter—and hospitals are running out of fuel. Our support will help health facilities continue operating and providing essential health services to children and adults most impacted by this crisis.”– Deputy Senior Vice President of Emergency Programs Provash Budden There are already more than 1.4 million reported cases of infectious diseases, including acute respiratory infections, diarrhea, skin infections and meningitis, according to the World Health Organization and a recent Johns Hopkins Center for Humanitarian Health-London School of Medicine & Tropical Hygiene study projects another 85,000 people could die by the end of August due to traumatic injuries, disease or untreated health conditions.
