Daily Meals for our Brothers & Sisters & Children in Gaza
The malnutrition crisis in Gaza has reached alarming levels, exacerbated by relentless bombings and blockades for over 12 months which have caused a desperate humanitarian situation. As attacks and forced displacement continue, access to food and essential resources has become increasingly limited, leaving vulnerable populations—especially children, the elderly and pregnant women—at grave risk. The combination of food scarcity, inadequate healthcare, and deteriorating living conditions has led to a surge in malnutrition rates across the region. This crisis is not just a statistic; it represents the daily struggle of over 2 million people fighting for survival amidst overwhelming odds.
As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, the need for immediate assistance in feeding displaced families in Gaza has never been more urgent. Aghosh UK, in collaboration with Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan, is dedicated to providing hot meals to anyone suffering from severe food insecurity, ensuring that those in desperate need receive the nutrition necessary for survival. With your support towards our Gaza Hot Meals Appeal, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of countless individuals facing malnutrition and hunger.
Displaced families in Gaza encounter several challenges:
Health Risks: The lack of hygienic cooking facilities increases health risks, particularly for children and pregnant women; an estimated 50,000 children aged 6-59 months urgently require treatment for malnutrition.
Ongoing attacks and blockades are having a devastating impact on food security in Gaza. With relentless military campaigns and evacuation orders disrupting supply chains and destroying critical infrastructure, many families find themselves unable to access even necessities. According to reports, over 70% of water and sanitation facilities have been damaged or destroyed due to military actions, further complicating the humanitarian response. The World Food Programme (WFP) has highlighted that one in three children in northern Gaza is acutely malnourished or suffering from wasting, a stark indicator of the deteriorating nutritional status among the population.
Recent statistics paint a grim picture of malnutrition in Gaza:
As bombings and blockades continue, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) warns that nearly all households in Gaza are facing extreme levels of food insecurity. The situation is particularly dire for pregnant and breastfeeding women, who are experiencing heightened risks of malnutrition due to limited access to diverse foods. Many families are forced to rely on a monotonous diet consisting primarily of grains or diluted formula, which lacks essential nutrients for healthy growth and development.
Aghosh UK has implemented several key initiatives to deliver nourishment and essential support to the people of Gaza amidst the ongoing humanitarian crisis. We will continue to support the people of Gaza for as long as it takes.
Aghosh UK is committed to providing hot meals to families and those in need – we have delivered over 13,000 hot meals in Gaza so far, and our efforts continue daily. The hot meals we provide ensure that vulnerable people receive nutritious food that sustains them physically and offers hope during these challenging times. Each meal funded via the Aghosh UK Gaza Hot Meals Appeal represents a lifeline for families struggling to find adequate nutrition amidst widespread food insecurity.
To combat the severe water crisis, we have successfully distributed 5,000 jerry cans and 353,000 water bottles. This initiative ensures that families can quench their thirst without fear of illness, addressing a fundamental need for clean drinking water in a region where access is severely limited.
Because Aghosh UK understands the importance of hygiene in preventing disease outbreaks, we have provided 23,373 hygiene kits to families in Gaza. These kits empower families to maintain cleanliness in overcrowded living conditions, significantly reducing health risks associated with poor sanitation.
In addition to hot meals, we have delivered emergency food relief in Gaza with over 30,508 emergency food packs, as well as 14,090 bags of flour and 182,586 cans of food, to help feed people and give them some support and hope. These supplies help families prepare meals wherever they are, ensuring they have something to eat.
In addition to food security and clean water initiatives, Aghosh UK is also dedicated to providing safe zones for shelter and comfort. As temperatures drop and winter approaches, Aghosh UK has supplied 4,541 tents and 16,375 blankets, as well as winter clothes for children. These items provide warmth and shelter to families who have lost everything, ensuring they can endure the harsh conditions while receiving the support they desperately need.
The Aghosh UK Gaza Hot Meals Appeal is a vital initiative aimed at feeding displaced families in Gaza and combating the severe malnutrition crisis. With approximately 96% of Gaza’s population facing high levels of acute food insecurity, the need for immediate action is critical. Aghosh UK is committed to delivering hot, nutritious meals daily to those who are struggling to survive amidst the ongoing attacks, bombings and blockades on humanitarian aid. Our mission extends beyond providing humanitarian food aid in Gaza—we aim to restore hope and sustenance to families living in desperate conditions.
To ensure that our hot meals reach those who need them most, Aghosh UK has established a robust logistical framework. We collaborate closely with local organisations, which have a deep understanding of the community’s needs and challenges. Together, we coordinate meal preparation and distribution efforts, leveraging local resources and networks to deliver humanitarian food aid in Gaza and maximise our impact.
Each day, our teams work tirelessly to prepare and deliver 1,000 meals, costing just £3 per meal. This totals £3,000 daily for our mission. Our distribution points are strategically located in areas where families are living in tents or overcrowded shelters with limited access to food and clean water.
