A significant humanitarian crisis continues to grow across the Middle East.

  Hundreds of thousands of displaced people remain in desperate need of assistance across Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon. Homes and critical infrastructure have been destroyed and limited access into key regions has severely hindered international efforts to support families caught in the crossfire. Thousands of people don’t have enough food and have lost their homes, livelihoods and loved ones. 

Tearfund is responding through our partners on the ground to meet some of the most urgent health needs. Our partners are helping to provide medical supplies, healthcare and mental health services, to those who have been displaced and traumatised.

What is happening and how are people affected?

  • The ongoing conflict has caused widespread devastation across Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.
     
  • Thousands of people have lost their lives and many others remain missing. Those who have survived are enduring the destruction of their homes and the loss of livelihoods and a sense of safety. Many have deep trauma and uncertainty about the future. 
     
  • Malnutrition rates are surging due to severe shortages of food.
     
  • International aid into key regions is being blocked or significantly slowed down.
     
  • Our partners are on the ground, working tirelessly to provide critical support—offering medical and emotional care to those still in crisis.
