Story

Three years of devastation, of displacement, of hunger, of queuing for water. For a child born when it began, it is all they have ever known.

"It was pitch black under the rubble. I couldn't open my eyes and could barely breathe." — Deema, from Gaza City, treated at MSF's reconstructive surgery hospital in Amman.

Our teams have stayed in Gaza through all three years. Most of our Palestinian colleagues are displaced themselves; many have buried their own families. They are still treating the wounded, delivering babies, and feeding children who have almost nothing.

Last year our teams distributed more than 700 million litres of water in Gaza and produced nearly 100 million litres of clean water. It is still not enough, because the pumps, pipes and desalination units keep being destroyed and the parts to repair them are not allowed in. People in Gaza have around 4.5 litres of drinking water a day. The humanitarian minimum is 21.

This fund also supports our emergency work in Lebanon and Sudan, where our teams are treating the wounded, running clinics and responding to malnutrition. Your donation goes where it will save the most lives.

Three years is long enough for the world to look away. Don't leave Gaza alone.
