This Ramadan, Gaza Is Still Hungry, and Still Waiting for Help
Ramadan is a month of mercy. Yet in Gaza, mercy still has not reached every home.
The bombs may have paused. The headlines may have moved on. Hunger did not stop with the ceasefire.
Today, 1.6 million people in Gaza are still struggling to find enough food to survive. Parents are skipping meals so their children can eat. Children are going to sleep hungry, not because food does not exist, but because access remains fragile, uncertain, and unequal.
Aid is entering Gaza, but not fast enough, not consistently, and not at the scale families urgently need. Even the UN warns that the situation remains fragile. One disruption, one delay, one closed crossing, and families fall back into crisis.
Join us this Ramadan. Donate today and help Gaza families survive, recover, and thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Since the onset of the current crisis, HCI has delivered critical, life-saving support including child sponsorship, emergency food aid, clean water, hygiene and dignity kits, medical supplies, winter relief items, and education support to vulnerable families in Gaza and to displaced families in Egypt and Turkey. HCI has also established and continues to operate primary health care clinics in Gaza, providing essential medical services, including maternal care, psychosocial support, and chronic disease management.

Ceasefires stop the bombs. The recovery phase in conflicts around the world is often more resource-intensive than emergency response. Sustained giving ensures families can rebuild, children can return to school, and communities can regain hope.Continued support also allows HCI to respond to emerging needs as conditions evolve, ensuring donor impact is both immediate and lasting.
