People in Gaza and our teams desperately need your help today

People in Gaza are still living in fear. The ceasefire agreement that came into effect on 10th October 2025 has not been observed on the ground, with daily violations and continuing airstrikes. Tragically, the most vulnerable are bearing the brunt.

Our teams remain one of the few organisations providing specialised rehabilitation and support for people with disabilities under these extreme conditions. We're working to ensure that the most vulnerable - people with disabilities, unaccompanied children, older people, and those with life-changing injuries - receive the care they need.

This includes fitting amputees with artificial limbs, providing rehabilitation, healing psychological trauma, and organising inclusive activities for children. With your help, we can continue this desperately needed work.

Here’s how your donation could make a difference:

£30

could go towards a prosthetic limb for a child amputee.

£50

could provide an injured person with 5 sessions of rehabilitation and psychological support.

£100

could go towards a pair of crutches and an emergency wheelchair.

Whatever you can afford to give could provide immediate help to civilians caught in the middle of this brutal conflict.

Supporting the most vulnerable people

Our teams in Gaza have been working tirelessly to respond to the urgent humanitarian crisis, thanks to our supporters.

Together, we have delivered:

Essential supplies
Our teams have been working in shelters throughout Gaza providing essential assistance. And since the beginning of the conflict, we have disctributed a large quantity of humanitarian equipment, including distribution of crutches and wheelchairs, hygiene supplies, dignity kits, first aid kits, food and essential household items.
Rehabilitation for injured people
We have provided over 157,100 nursing care sessions as well as more than 169,700 rehabilitation sessions for people who have sustained life-changing injuries, such as amputations and spinal cord injuries.
Trauma and mental health support
We have provided more than 57,000 occupational therapy sessions and over 48,000 psychological first aid sessions to people living with deep trauma.
Recreational activities for children
Our volunteers have already organised over 10,000 games and recreational activities for more than 64,000 children in emergency shelters. These activities help restore a brief sense of normality for children living in a warzone and ease their anxiety.
Emergency safety messages
Throughout the daily, heavy bombing, sadly, it is women and children who are overwhelmingly being injured. Together with the United Nations, we have sent out text messages to 1.5 million residents with advice for how to stay as safe as possible during bombings.
Armed violence reduction
Our teams have organised over 19,000 community sessions in 22 shelters, to raise awareness about the risks of explosive bombs in the rubble. We have reached more than 139,900 children and 147,700 adults.

Together, we can protect and support the most vulnerable people in Gaza.

Can we count on you to join us?

Eyewitness report

Sharaf lives in Khan Younis city in the south of Gaza. He manages our team that supports vulnerable populations to access shelter, education, and rehabilitation services. He describes the situation he is witnessing inside Gaza:

“The situation is catastrophic, a crisis in a crisis. People are surrounded by a fence from the north, east and south, and sea from west. Access and border crossing is blocked by fire, from above the rain of bombs.”

“It's a state of separation from reality. Your home, father, mother and even your children, each day you have to make the choice to die all at once in one room or to be separated across the Strip.”

“Each day I receive a call or through social media that one or more of my friends were killed or injured. Just yesterday morning I had two who were killed and two injured. Each one in Gaza is living in such a situation. The dead or those who still live, each one has a story, a story of fear, new life or loss.”

Sharaf, Area Manager for HI in Gaza.
