OUR
PALESTINE
PROJECTS
Feed the hungry, shelter the displaced, and bring comfort to those enduring the worst humanitarian crisis in living memory.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
Palestine continues to bear the scars of unimaginable loss. At least 70,000 people, including over 50,000 children, have been killed or injured in Gaza since October 2023. Half a million remain in catastrophic conditions, facing famine, disease, and displacement.
The ceasefire has finally enabled aid to reach Gaza, a crucial opening for families who have endured deplorable hardship. Yet the crisis is far from over. Homes lie in ruins, hospitals are overwhelmed, and clean water is scarce.
As Palestine begins to heal, your continued compassion will help rebuild lives with dignity and hope. This Ramadan, turn your faith into action. For Palestine, for peace, for humanity.

Family Twinning Initiative
By twinning your family with a family in Gaza for $320 a month, you become a lifeline during one of the most difficult periods they have ever faced. Families have lost their homes, access to clean water is severely limited, healthcare systems are under extreme strain, and food insecurity is at an all-time high. Your monthly support provides direct financial assistance, enabling families to meet their most urgent needs with dignity.
Through this initiative, families can use your support to rebuild damaged or destroyed homes, feed their children with essential food and clean water, and contribute to local economic stability through cash assistance that supports communities as a whole. By extending your table to a family in Gaza, you are offering safety, nourishment, and hope, and helping displaced families begin to rebuild their lives.
10K Food Parcels For Gaza
As hunger in Gaza reaches catastrophic levels, we are delivering 10,000 food parcels, each providing enough food to sustain a family for a full month. More than 1.8 million people are facing extreme hunger, including 200,000 children suffering from acute malnutrition, with nearly half a million people experiencing catastrophic food insecurity, the highest level recorded anywhere in the world. The need for urgent food assistance has never been greater.
Over the past year, we have distributed 16,000 food parcels to displaced families from Gaza, both inside Gaza and to those forced to seek refuge in Egypt. This includes 10,000 parcels already delivered, 2,500 currently en route, and preparations underway for a further 10,000 ahead of Ramadan. Our teams are assembling essential parcels containing rice, flour, lentils, sugar, and oil for safe delivery. With your support, we can continue to reach families still waiting for aid, providing nourishment, dignity, and hope through food assistance, alongside medical care, shelter, psychosocial support, and water and sanitation services.
Clean Water for All
In the western districts of Gaza City, thousands of displaced families are living in makeshift shelters without reliable access to clean drinking water, placing their health and survival at constant risk. Action For Humanity’s Water Distribution for IDPs in Gaza project is delivering an urgent lifeline by providing safe drinking water to more than 44,000 people over a three-month period. The project ensures each person receives a minimum of six litres per day for drinking and cooking, in line with WASH Cluster standards.
Working closely with the WASH Cluster and local partners, teams have prioritized the most vulnerable shelters, launched water trucking operations with strict quality controls, and carried out daily testing to guarantee safety. Community engagement and public health messaging support safe water storage and handling, while feedback systems strengthen accountability. The project will continue daily deliveries and monitoring, expand awareness efforts to reduce contamination risks, and use lessons learned to inform longer-term water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions in Gaza.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is AFH sourcing and delivering food in Gaza despite the challenges?
With food production devastated — 86% of cropland damaged and imports severely restricted — Gaza now relies heavily on humanitarian aid. AFH works with trusted local partners and vendors to source what’s available on the local market, ensuring meals can reach those who need them most. We review market conditions every month to adapt our plans, respond to price changes, and keep costs as low as possible.
Currently, skyrocketing food and packaging prices mean we’re focusing on rice-based meals in August — these are nutritious, cost-effective, and easier to package individually. In previous months, we provided more complex dishes such as stews, but current conditions make this challenging. Our priority is to keep hot meals flowing, even under the toughest circumstances.
Can AFH send money directly into Gaza?
Getting funds into Gaza is very challenging. Banks and ATMs are out of service, cash is limited, and private brokers charge high fees. Because of these conditions, AFH operates entirely through our registered office in the West Bank. Funds from the UK are transferred to our West Bank accounts, and all payments to Gaza suppliers or partners are made by bank transfer. Our Gaza staff receive salaries into their personal accounts and withdraw cash through authorized brokers. We do not make cash payments on the ground — this helps keep our operations secure and accountable.
How many hot meals can AFH provide each day?
In the first half of 2025, AFH distributed over 55,000 hot, ready-to-eat meal packs — each serving 3–4 people — to displaced families. During Ramadan, we reached more than 75,000 people with food parcels and communal meals. We also supported 6,954 people with fresh vegetable baskets, a rare but vital addition to diets under current conditions. Each meal is more than just nourishment, it’s a reminder that the world has not forgotten them.
How many people are AFH projects currently serving in Gaza?
From January to June 2025, AFH’s food and relief projects have reached tens of thousands of people with hot meals, fresh produce, and essential supplies. Full operational updates for this period are available in our latest report.
Are the HOPE Camps still operating, and what support do they provide?
Our HOPE Camps in Deir al-Balah continue to support displaced families, although some have been partially evacuated due to safety concerns or damage:
Camp 3: 17 families remain; the site is isolated and less secure.
Camp 4: Only one family remains; most tents were removed or damaged. Repairs are ongoing so families can return.
Camp 5: 37 families have returned; tents were removed during evacuation, but the site remains intact and guarded, although still in a red-zone area.
AFH teams are working to repair damage, restore services, and provide safe shelter wherever possible.
How is AFH providing medical aid?
With your support, Action For Humanity helped Al-Shifa hospital, the main hospital in Gaza, to recover after another military offensive in May and at the start of October 2023.
According to reports from Gaza’s Ministry of Health, over 45% of essential drug items were reported as being at zero stock, along with 19% of medical disposables. The ongoing closure of Gaza, frequent military attacks, and the influx of injuries have led to the deterioration of available health services in the area and a decline in their quality.
With your donations, we will contribute to bridging the gaps in zero-stock medical supplies through the procurement of medical disposables that the Ministry of Health urgently needs to enable the continuity of providing essential health services for the vulnerable population in Gaza.
