With three international partners and local organizations, Welthungerhilfe (WHH) is providing relief supplies in the Gaza Strip. Together with our long-standing Italian Alliance2015 partner CESVI, we have been delivering food kits to around 12,000 people in the central areas for around three months. The rations are calculated for a family size of six people and are sufficient for one week. Depending on purchasing and delivery options, the meals are purchased and assembled in Egypt or Jordan and transported to the Gaza Strip.
Thanks to the support of the German Federal Foreign Office, we can continue and expand our activities in the region together with our partners. In the coming months up to June 2025, we will be able to support at least 9,000 households, i.e., around 45,000 people. The measures will include providing urgently needed food, clean drinking water, and hygiene and nutritional relief supplies.
In addition to distributing food, Terre des Hommes Italy provides food specifically for children suffering from acute malnutrition, as well as for pregnant or breastfeeding women and sick people. Juzoor runs ten nutrition centers where up to 30,000 people are screened and treated for malnutrition. In these centers, affected families also receive nutritional supplements and medical support. In addition, CESVI ensures that 27,500 people have access to clean drinking water and is improving the sanitary facilities in 23 camps and collective shelters.
