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 looks at the escalating need in the region with great concern. Together with 60 other NGOs, we are calling for the new federal government to end the violent spiral and an immediate stop of weapon exports. Terre Des Hommes condemns the crimes against humanity - both that of the Israeli government as well as those of Hamas and other armed groups. We are still at the side of the civilian population. Your protection must be a top priority. This protection and an end to suffering can only be achieved through a fair 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.
