IRC initiates programmes in response to the Gaza Crisis

The ongoing conflict, including fighting, airstrikes and siege are having a devastating impact on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Gaza, and the humanitarian situation is getting direr every day. Severe restrictions on humanitarian aid delivery mean essential items needed for survival, such as medical supplies, food and clean water are not getting into Gaza at the levels required.

The ongoing conflict in Gaza, including airstrikes and forced displacement orders, is severely affecting civilians and destroying infrastructure. Critical shortages of medical supplies, food, and clean water are worsening daily, while restrictions on aid deliveries are preventing essential items from reaching those in need.
