How to Help West Bank/Gaza – What CARE is Doing
CARE has been responding to this emergency since it began. In fact, CARE was one of the first international organizations to respond, distributing prepositioned water and medical supplies.
CARE is working in the following areas:
Health: scale the mobile clinic approach and train community health workers to improve access to healthcare for everyone in the territory.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH): distribution of bottled water and hygiene supplies, water trucking to settlements, installation of emergency latrines, support for solid waste management, and awareness raising around proper hygiene practices.
Gender: distributing dignity kits and working with other humanitarian actors to ensure that gender and protection are integrated into the wider humanitarian strategy.
Shelter: providing basic shelter materials like bedding, kitchen sets, tents and tarpaulins. to help families rebuild their homes – either directly or through cash assistance for building repairs or rent.
Food Security and Livelihoods: provide support in the form of food baskets, cash assistance and individual food rations, depending on access and market availability.
Speaking out: CARE reiterates its call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire, the free flow of humanitarian aid inside and throughout Gaza, the evacuation of the sick and wounded, and the release of all hostages.
CARE is one of three international organizations that is able to work in the north of Gaza and we need your help to provide lifesaving assistance to the people affected by this war throughout the region. With your support, we can help meet urgent humanitarian needs and pave the way for the long-term recovery of affected families throughout the region.
