Immense humanitarian needs in Gaza must be addressed
After more than two years of conflict, the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains catastrophic. People need life-saving aid now. More than anything, people need a lasting ceasefire, and a chance to heal.
Now is the time to act. Your donation could help us get food, medicine and other essentials to families in desperate need.
Why give a monthly donation to Gaza
The Red Cross Movement has been working to support people in Gaza for decades and we won’t stop now. You can further support the long-term recovery in Gaza by setting up a regular charity donation which helps us plan our response to the emergency in Gaza, ensuring we can reach as many people as we can, as effectively as possible. It also helps you plan your giving and gives you the flexibility to change your donation at any time.
If you sign up to a regular charity donation, your gift will be supporting the Gaza Crisis Appeal until 31 December 2026. After 31 December 2026, your regular donation will support people wherever the need is greatest.

What your monthly donation could do
- £5 a month could help provide food parcels and clean water to families in Gaza, providing nutrition when they need it most.
- £8 a month could help provide a hearing assistive device to someone with hearing needs, ensuring that families can communicate with each other.
- £10 a month could help contribute to an essential rehabilitation session like physiotherapy or speech therapy to start the road to recovery.
If you’re able to support the British Red Cross with a monthly donation, every time you hear about our work in Gaza, you’ll know you’ve played a part in it.

Where your donation to Gaza will go
Your charity donation to the Gaza Crisis Appeal will support people affected by this emergency right now, and those potentially affected in the future by the crisis. We have rigorous checks in place to make sure that humanitarian aid is delivered to those in Gaza who need it most.
The unparalleled reach of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement provides us with a range of options to ensure that your donations are used as efficiently and effectively as possible. This is particularly important in the healthcare sector, where, since the October 2025 ceasefire, Red Cross teams have been increasingly focused.
Your gift could help:
- Provide critical medical supplies. With aid restrictions and dwindling resources, teams urgently need essential supplies.
- Rebuild and restore. Field hospitals, built to last six months, have already endured one winter and are in vital need of repair.
- Power emergency surgery. Surgical teams depend on generators to perform life-saving procedures under immense pressure.
- Keep maternity care running. Providing obstetric care, calm delivery suites, surgical teams, and newborn monitoring for safety and reassurance.
- Deliver mental health support. So patients can access psychosocial teams, trauma-informed support, and safe spaces for play and expression.

Real stories from Gaza: the impact of your donation
Amr works for the Palestine Red Crescent in Gaza.
He walks more than 10 kilometres a day, to the office and home and to try and buy essentials for his family. “It’s becoming harder every day to meet even the most basic needs,” Amr said in a text.
He has lost friends and family, including his brother and brother-in-law. People in Gaza want the world to know about the situation they face, Amr said.
“Gaza is a place where you can see a doctor who lost his family while saving others, families living in cemeteries, a boy who lost his entire family, a little girl asking for her mother who was killed,” he said.
Despite exhaustion and heartache, Amr’s focus is on his hope for peace: “For my children to sit at a school desk again, for us to rebuild our shattered lives. But I also know that, after all we have endured, we need a chance to heal.”
While reaching people with vital aid and food is the immediate priority, the longer-term needs in Gaza will be immense. When the people of Gaza begin to rebuild their lives, we will be there to support them every step of the way.
