Limited passage of supplies and aid into Gaza, a collapsing health care system, and scarcity of food are exacerbating the humanitarian crisis caused by the ongoing war. We partnered with @WCKitchen in December to distribute parcels of dry and canned food in northern Gaza, but until a lasting ceasefire is achieved, the situation remains dire.
We envision a world where crises give way to resilience and all people have the care and resources they need to thrive. For 70 years, we have championed innovative solutions across sectors to ensure our approaches are as dynamic and diverse as the communities we serve.

In conflict, the safety & respect of relief personnel are paramount. Their commitment to neutrality ensures aid reaches those in need, regardless of affiliation. Hear from aid workers about the risks & challenges to principled humanitarian action. https://t.co/FJPxyYJty9
The risks and challenges to principled humanitarian action vary from context to context, but they may include:
��️ Politicization of #aid
▶️ Interference and pressure from local actors to select certain recipients over others
▶️ Bureaucratic impediments and restrictions on access to populations in need
▶️ Aid diversion
▶️ Attacks on humanitarian convoys and aid workers
Hear from our experts about these risks and how we are addressing them: https://t.co/vIMHmXhidc
