Inside Gaza, constant bombardments, displacement of our own team members, lack of access points for aid, and shattered infrastructure have prevented humanitarian organizations from meaningfully providing aid since the end of the November 2023 “humanitarian pause.” Mercy Corps is advocating strongly for a ceasefire, end to siege tactics, and humanitarian access at the scale required to meet the needs of millions of people. We’re also working hard to establish supply lines for essential, lifesaving items such as clean water, food, hygiene supplies, and shelter materials.
