Support Humanitarian Aid to Gaza
As the humanitarian situation in Gaza worsens, the need for humanitarian aid in Gaza grows.
That’s why we at ICPJ urges you to support efforts to get humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Here are three ways you can help:
1. Donate to humanitarian organizations that are trying to get aid into Gaza. ICPJ has been raising funds for Doctors Without Borders, and there are many other reputable groups that you can support with confidence. (If you give to Doctors Without Borders, be sure to designate your gift to their Palestinian Territories program.)
2. Call for humanitarian access to Gaza. Humanitarian aid can only help if relief groups can bring the food, medicine, and emergency supplies to the people who need it. Please call on U.S. officials to ask them to insist that humanitarian aid be allowed into Gaza.
