Anera Higher Education Support — Gaza Emergency

Gaza is being erased. Due to a punishing blockade imposed since 2007, about 80% of Gaza’s 2.3 million people relied on humanitarian aid for at least some of their basic needs before October 2023. Today, the needs are far more urgent. Almost the entire population depends on relief to survive. Anera continues to deliver food, clean water, medicine and hygiene supplies to as many families as possible. Donate now to support the people of Gaza.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed or injured as a direct result of the violence , with women and children making up a large share of the casualties. Displacement remains widespread: the vast majority of Gaza’s population has been forced from their homes , crammed into overcrowded shelters or makeshift camps.
