14 TRUSTED CHARITIES HELPING CIVILIANS IN PALESTINE

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has caused immense suffering, with countless
individuals displaced, harmed, and killed over the years. Tensions heightened on
October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel, leading to Israeli retaliation and
worsening the conflict. This escalation has created a severe humanitarian crisis
in Gaza, with 2.8 million people, including 1.2 million children, in need of
assistance amidst airstrikes and bombings.

This moment demands our collective attention, solidarity, and action. As the
global community bears witness to the unfolding tragedy, it is crucial to extend
support where needed most. This can be done, for example, through donating to
established and well-coordinated organisations that work on the frontlines to
provide aid and relief. Below we have compiled a list of 14 well-established and
trusted charities that help civilians in Palestine.


#1 UN CRISIS RELIEF – OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY HUMANITARIAN FUND

The Occupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Fund, offers one of the quickest
and most effective ways to provide urgent relief on the ground. The Fund
consistently collects contributions, enabling it to swiftly aid a diverse range
of partners in addressing the high priority humanitarian activities. Managed by
the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on
behalf of the Humanitarian Coordinator, your donation plays a crucial role in
alleviating the immediate needs of those affected by crises in the region.

#2 UNITED NATIONS POPULATION FUND (UNFPA)

As the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, UNFPA focuses on
ensuring safe pregnancies and fulfilling the potential of young people.
Expressing deep concern for women and girls in Gaza, of whom 50,000 are
pregnant, UNFPA addresses the critical need for reproductive health supplies and
services during the conflict. For every dollar contributed, 92 cents directly
fund program and service delivery, while a modest 8 cents cover administrative
costs—a testament to the organisation’s efficiency and impact.

donation page.


#3 INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS (ICRC) 

Guided by the Geneva Convention of 1949, ICRC is a humanitarian organisation
aiding those affected by global conflicts. Partnering with the Red Cross and Red

Palestine. Having maintained a presence in Israel and the occupied territories
since 1967, ICRC, as a neutral and independent humanitarian entity, conducts
essential work by visiting detainees in Israeli and Palestinian places of

access to vital services such as water and electricity in Gaza, while

territories.
