Providing lifesaving food aid in Gaza: reaching families

In Gaza, the humanitarian crisis is growing more severe by the day. With 95% of the population lacking access to clean drinking water, widespread food shortages, and famine taking hold in the north, families are struggling to survive. The situation continues to evolve and remains critical.

Standing for humanity, People for People responded by working with research teams and local partners to identify the most urgent needs and act fast. Together, we distributed clean water, food parcels, baby milk, and hot meals – reaching displaced families across Gaza, from Mawasi Khan Yunis to Rafah and northern regions.

Meeting urgent needs in an ongoing crisis

In a time normally filled with joy, the holy month of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr looked different for many Gazans. But thanks to local partners, we were able to bring moments of dignity and comfort – warm meals, fresh vegetables, and even toys and cookies for children. Our efforts to reach aid in Gaza continue as the need for food, water, and support remains critical.

Results

Urgent relief delivered – there where it’s needed most

56,000 liters of clean water

We delivered 10 tanks in northern Gaza and 6,000 liters in Mawasi Khan Yunis, providing access to clean water in areas facing extreme scarcity.

 9,500+ people reached

We distributed 6,000 warm meals, 500 food parcels, 55 baby milk kits, and fresh vegetables across Gaza – offering relief to families.

3+ local partner-led projects

By working with local NGOs, we launched food and water aid initiatives in both northern and southern Gaza, and supported mental health counseling and food distribution for families with children. We continue to work closely with our partner Anera, who has already delivered over 20,000 essential items to the Gaza border — ready for distribution as soon as access is granted.

Here’s how you can help

This crisis is far from over – and local partners need support more than ever.

We focus on what we can do. Bridging the gap and leveraging our knowledge and expertise. Your business can help us deliver essential supplies and services by providing food, water, shelter materials, and logistics support. Together, we can move quickly and effectively, even in the most complex conditions.

    • Donate essential goods like canned food, baby milk, hygiene items, warm clothes and shelter solutions
    • Offer logistics or warehousing – in the Netherlands and internationally – to store and transport emergency relief
    • Support community-based services like psychosocial care or mobile distribution networks
  • Local NGO networks: if you’re already active internationally, let’s bundle our strengths and work together.

Every item, service, or partnership helps us meet urgent needs – today, and in the difficult time ahead.
