Aghosh UK’s Gaza Hot Meal Appeal - the Logistics
Aghosh UK has established a robust logistical framework to get hot meals to people in Gaza. We collaborate closely with local organisations, who have a deep understanding of the community’s needs and challenges. Together, we coordinate food sourcing, meal preparation and distribution efforts, leveraging local resources and networks to deliver hot meals in Gaza.
Each day, our teams work tirelessly to prepare and deliver 1,000 meals. 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.
A Snapshot
The grim reality for the people of Gaza before the October 2023 attacks:
Poverty
Poverty: over 61% of the population live in dire poverty after decades of occupation and blockades. 40% of people live on less that $2 a day.
Dependency
around 80% of households rely on humanitarian assistance for survival.
Desperation
Human Rights Watch have described Gaza as ‘an open air prison’, with over 2 million people detained behind the so-called Iron Wall in less than 141 square miles.
Population
Gaza is one of the most densely populated places on the planet. 1.7million people were already refugees.
Unemployment
Previous aggression by the occupying state has destroyed homes, hospitals, and the agricultural and fishing economies affecting the livelihoods of people. Gaza has the highest unemployment in the world.
