Gaza crisis response

MCC is providing emergency relief with existing partners in Gaza, distributing locally purchased food packages, hygiene items and bedding as well as cash transfers to families in need. We are also working to help children cope with the trauma.  

In the West Bank, partners are providing food assistance and agricultural supplies and trainings for people who have been affected by the violence there. And in Southern Lebanon, MCC is providing emergency food for displaced people.  

MCC laments the violence and mourns all lives lost in Palestine and Israel. We continue to advocate to the Canadian government, the U.S. government and the United Nations community to speak out and encourage an immediate ceasefire and safe paths for humanitarian aid, and to hold all parties to the same standard of international law. People in the U.S. can take action here, the Canadian letter-writing tool has been updated in light of the Canadian government’s recent call for a ceasefire.

MCC will continue to work with partners in both Palestine and Israel toward a just peace for all. We welcome donations to support our response to the current crisis.
