Israel-Palestine Crisis Fund

As international institutions, governments, and civil society call for a peaceful resolution to the Israel-Hamas War, we continue to face a humanitarian crisis. 

Thousands of civilians have been killed, injured, and taken hostage. Violence has displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinian and Israeli people. Blockades are preventing goods from going into Gaza, leaving families without shelter, food, water, and medicine. Infrastructural damage limits internet access, roadways, and health center operations. The ceasefire in early 2025 had provided hope for many, but with continued bombings, aid is urgently needed. 

Many of our Charity Alliance members with a long-term presence in the region are still working tirelessly to aid families in need under these circumstances. Food, shelter, medical care, and supplies are urgently needed. 

Donations will go to charities providing aid to civilians in need in Gaza and Israel, including: 

  • Immediate relief: food, clean water, medical supplies, and shelter 
  • Long-term needs: mental health support to survivors, infrastructure repair, resuming education, and cash assistance 

As the conflict changes moment by moment, here’s what some of our partners in the region are working on right now.
