Gaza
Our work in Gaza
Terre des Hommes through its international federation members have been operational in the Palestinian territories for over 50 years. Currently, we are part of a collaboration between 6 organisations funded by the Dutch Relief Alliance to address the most pressing needs in Gaza, since the outbreak of the war in November 2023.
We are working with Terre des Hommes Italy and an implementing partner - a national NGO called Palestinian Medical Relief Society - to address vulnerabilities through the provision of specialised primary healthcare, along with tailored devices and non-food items (NFI) kits of the most vulnerable groups: pregnant & lactating women, people with chronic diseases and people with disabilities.
Approach
We would continue with the same approach as we have now. Implementing through Tdh Italy and PMRS. We are currently supporting 3 outreach teams from PMRS who operate inside formal and non-formal shelters, tented camps, and homes, aiming to address the most critical health needs exacerbated by ongoing conflict and displacement in Gaza.
With more funding, we would like to not only increase the healthcare services, but also give special attention to the particular needs of children. That would include:
Our partners
Together with experienced partners we are working towards a world without child exploitation, where young people can feel safe today and better about tomorrow.
