Palestine: A Humanitarian Crisis We Cannot Ignore

Palestinians have lived in the land of Palestine for centuries, but colonialism, war, and occupation have displaced millions. Since the 1948 Nakba, over 700,000 Palestinians have fled, many seeking refuge in Gaza, which is now home to over 2 million people.

The situation in Gaza is dire. Years of blockade and conflict have left generations trapped in poverty, with limited access to food, water, medical supplies, and basic human rights. In 2024 and 2025 alone, nearly 90% of Gaza’s population has been displaced, with millions affected by ongoing violence and blockades.

The rise of Hamas in the 1980s has led to extreme violence and conflict. Standing with Palestinians today means standing for peace and basic human rights. We stand with the innocent people of Palestine and all communities suffering from violence, hunger, and displacement.

What’s Happening Now?

Nearly 90% of Gaza’s population displaced.

More than 52,000 Palestinians killed, most of them women and children.

Innocent people are facing violence, displacement, and extreme suffering.

Humanitarian aid is severely restricted, creating shortages of food, medicine, and electricity.

What We Can Do:

Stay Informed. Follow reliable sources to stay updated on the situation.

Support Relief Efforts. Supporting organizations on the ground delivering emergency aid, such as UNRWA, Save the Children, and Doctors Without Borders. 

Raise Awareness. Use your voice to speak up for the protection of civilians and for unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza.

We stand for human dignity, freedom, and the protection of life. We urge you to join us in advocating for peace and justice for the Palestinian people.
