Crisis in Gaza

Mercy Corps today delivered a truckload of rice and other food staples for 2,000 hungry Gazans. We plan to distribute blankets, mattresses, pillows and powdered milk to 100 families displaced to UN refugee camps in Jabaliya and Rafah during tomorrow's afternoon cease-fire.

We're posting frequent updates from Gaza youth in our Global Youth Connectivity program, who are communicating with Mercy Corps staff in Jerusalem via SMS.

Your donation to our Gaza Crisis Fund will help us secure humanitarian relief items for besieged families.

You can also sign our petition for immediate humanitarian access to Gaza.
