Families in Gaza are starving

Humanitarian needs in Gaza and Lebanon remain critical.

In Gaza, food is now almost impossible to find as mass starvation spreads across the region. Every hour we are seeing more reports of deaths by starvation.

People are dying of hunger and disease, as well as injuries caused by the conflict. Food and clean water are desperately scarce with more than 60,000 children estimated to require treatment for acute malnutrition.

Despite extraordinary challenges, Concern have proven that they are able to provide lifesaving aid. Their partner organisation CESVI, with Concern’s support, has distributed water to 105,000 people across Gaza over the last year.

In July, they installed a reverse osmosis filter in the Al Rantisi Hospital, the last operational children’s hospital serving Gaza City. This will support 13 kidney dialysis machines that are critical to ongoing treatment services.

In Lebanon, more than a million people fled their homes after violence escalated in September. With a ceasefire already in place there, with your support they can start to try and rebuild their communities, lives and livelihoods.

Help us give the gift of hope

Your donation will help Concern do as much as they can for as long as they can to support the most vulnerable people and communities experiencing unimaginable suffering because of conflict.

£5 could pay for a warm blanket for displaced families who have no choice but to live in tents and shelters.

£50 could provide 14-day emergency food supplies to two families.

£120 could provide a newborn with a full course of life-saving vaccinations.

£187 could provide one displaced family with short-term safe shelter

Concern teams are on the ground right now giving hope to families facing the most difficult of situations. Please donate whatever you can and show them that they are not alone.

As a group we decided to take on this Herculean challenge with absolutely no prior training and for some of us, probably not a hope at all of finishing. But we aren't doing it for the medal.

If like us, if you are appalled by what we are witnessing, children and families facing starvation, then please, give what you can.

Thank you! From #TeamConcern 💚💚💚
