The humanitarian situation in Gaza and Lebanon has become more catastrophic than ever. The killing of civilians in both countries – including a devastating number of children – is unprecedented.
It is now estimated that more than 45,000 Palestinians have been killed since the conflict began, with more than 10,000 people still missing under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
Lebanon has also seen more than 896,315 people internally displaced since 8 October 2023.
The effects on communities, particularly women and children, that are already struggling with poverty and displacement have been devastating.
Hospitals are struggling to cope with the influx of sick and injured people, refugee camps are at capacity, and necessities like food, water and medical care are scarce.
ActionAid is working with local partners to assess what is needed and respond with essential supplies.
But we need your support.
Money alone won’t solve this issue, but it will help provide people with the supplies they urgently need.

What is ActionAid doing to help?
ActionAid is working with local partners in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.
In Gaza, we have reached over 236,960 people with humanitarian supplies. An additional 558,206 people have also been supported with healthcare services by our partner Al-Awda Hospital.
We have also been supporting internally displaced people in Gaza. We've distributed winterisation kits which include tents and blankets, and also dignity kits which include vital items like toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, and towels.
In Lebanon, ActionAid is responding in Bekaa, Beirut, and northern regions, focusing on emergency shelters and immediate needs like mattresses, hygiene kits, blankets, food parcels, and water.
