Delivering fresh produce, child nutrition, and shelter to families in Gaza

All Hands & Hearts, together with local partners, is working around the clock to quickly deliver life-saving aid shipments, including fresh produce and milk, shelter materials for families in tents, child nutrition packets, and hygiene kits. We are reaching tens of thousands of people every week.

Winter is coming fast to Gaza, and with it, freezing temperatures that make life even harder for displaced families already facing immense challenges. We’ve stepped in with urgent help.

We provided tarps, fresh vegetables and milk to the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza City, where Father Gabriel Romanelli’s parish shelters 500 people and supports over 7,000 families. You can see the damage on the church from an attack in July.

Last week alone, more than 57,000 people received kits consisting of tarps, rope and duct tape. These simple yet important materials make the difference for families as the temperatures drop, to repair damaged tents and reinforce their shelters. These supplies reached communities in both North and South Gaza, offering an added layer of protection from the cold. Watch the video below to see these deliveries in action.

Over the weekend, more than 8,500 families also received deliveries of milk, fresh fruits and vegetables, including peppers, avocados, bananas, lemons, sweet potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. Since the start of our response, thousands of tons of nourishing produce have been placed directly into the hands of vulnerable households.

More than 380,000 packs of ready-to-use child therapeutic food have now arrived in Gaza through AH&H, and are being distributed to clinics and directly to children through our local partners to help fight malnutrition.

Next week, we will be bringing in an additional 45,000 hygiene kits, building upon the thousands we’ve already distributed since early October. We are taking every step we can to help protect families’ health and dignity in overcrowded displacement settings.
