International Medical Corps: This organization provides updates on the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza, noting major shortages of food, clean water, and medical supplies.

Gaza’s 2.1 million people are suffering a major humanitarian crisis. The escalation of the conflict since October 7, 2023, has displaced more than 80% of the population, leaving them with limited access to healthcare, food, water and other essential services.

International Medical Corps has provided lifesaving humanitarian assistance and protection services in Gaza since 2008. To meet the urgently increasing needs of the population, we have stepped up our healthcare, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), child protection, and gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response services.

We have deployed fully equipped field hospitals, and are working with UNICEF and the Gaza and Palestine Nutrition Cluster to implement a campaign to screen for and treat malnutrition among children throughout Gaza.
