Ramadan is a month of mercy. Yet in Gaza, mercy still has not reached every home.
The bombs may have paused. The headlines may have moved on. Hunger did not stop with the ceasefire.
Today, 1.6 million people in Gaza are still struggling to find enough food to survive. Parents are skipping meals so their children can eat. Children are going to sleep hungry, not because food does not exist, but because access remains fragile, uncertain, and unequal.
This is not a crisis of the past. It is happening right now.
Nearly 101,000 children under the age of five are expected to suffer acute malnutrition. Over 31,000 cases are severe, where delay can mean permanent harm or death.
An estimated 37,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women are also experiencing acute malnutrition.
Entire neighbourhoods in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, and Khan Younis remain critically affected.
Aid is entering Gaza, but not fast enough, not consistently, and not at the scale families urgently need. Even the UN warns that the situation remains fragile. One disruption, one delay, one closed crossing, and families fall back into crisis.
A life protected. A prayer answered. A deed written for eternity.

Since the onset of the current crisis, HCI has delivered critical, life-saving support including child sponsorship, emergency food aid, clean water, hygiene and dignity kits, medical supplies, winter relief items to vulnerable families in Gaza and to displaced families in Egypt and Turkey. HCI has also established and continues to operate primary health care clinics in Gaza, providing essential medical services, including maternal care, psychosocial support, and chronic disease management. To date, HCI’s emergency response programmes have reached over 500,000 individuals and 100,000 families.
Ceasefires stop the bombs. The recovery phase in conflicts around the world is often more resource-intensive than emergency response. Sustained giving ensures families can rebuild, children can return to school, and communities can regain hope.
Continued support also allows HCI to respond to emerging needs as conditions evolve, ensuring donor impact is both immediate and lasting.
HCI adheres to strict monitoring and accountability standards, working only with vetted and trusted implementing partners in Gaza. Funds are directed to priority needs based on field assessments, and regular reporting ensures transparency. We are committed to upholding international humanitarian principles and cCharitable regulations in all our operations.
HCI’s approach is guided by a justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion framework. We prioritize the voices and leadership of local communities, ensure that women and marginalized groups are consulted and represented in program design, and endeavour to avoid imagery or messaging that diminishes the agency and dignity of those we strive to serve and work alongside.
