Crisis in Gaza

Mercy Corps has distributed blankets to dozens of families in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis and awaits permission to deliver truckloads of food staples for 1,800 people.

We are currently negotiating with Israeli officials to gain access to Gaza through the Kerem Shalom border crossing in southern Israel to deliver four tons of rice, canned tuna, dates and soybean oil.

Your donation to our Gaza Crisis Fund will help us expand distributions of humanitarian relief items for families besieged by the military action in Gaza.
