The location in the Gaza Strip is dramatic: practically the entire population - including about a million children - is now dependent on humanitarian aid. The major offensive announced by the Israeli military now threatens to further tighten the humanitarian catastrophe.
Terre des Hommes views the escalating suffering in the region with great concern. Together with 60 other NGOs, we are calling on the new German government to end the spiral of violence and immediately halt arms exports. Terre des Hommes condemns the crimes against humanity—both those of the Israeli government and those of Hamas and other armed groups. We continue to stand with the civilian population. Their protection must be our top priority. This protection and an end to the suffering can only be achieved through a just peace in the region.
Sign petition nowAbove all, safe corridors for aid deliveries must be created. Everything is missing. According to the United Nations, 2.1 million people suffer from acute nutritional uncertainty. The life of children and families is massively threatened by the intensified hunger crisis. Under the most difficult conditions, our local partners provide children and their families - and jeopardize their lives. They distribute food and clean water and provide medical help. Your life -saving work is endangered every day through new attacks and repression. And yet continue tirelessly.
Set a clear sign against the war with your signature. More than ever, people in the Middle East are more dependent on our support. With the signing of the petition, we create political perspectives for just peace.
