Communities across the Caribbean are facing a humanitarian crisis in the wake of Hurricane Melissa. Give to our Hurricane Melissa Disaster Relief Fund to make a difference for those in need.

Israel-Palestine Crisis Fund

In October 2025, Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a ceasefire deal, pausing hostilities after two years of violence in the region—the first step in a long journey towards recovery and, hopefully, peace. With news of the ceasefire, charities on the ground are prepared to dramatically scale their operations, delivering aid or prepositioning it to go when blockades are lifted. 

During the past two years, over 69,000 Gazans have been killed, cities and hospitals have been destroyed, and thousands of hostages and detainees have been taken from their families. Our Charity Alliance members with a long-term presence in the region have been responding to civilians in need in both Gaza and Israel under these impossible circumstances. In Gaza, experts say a humanitarian disaster is unfolding as aid blockades have left thousands without food and medical care. 

While the ceasefire agreement is fragile, more aid is expected to be allowed into Gaza as it is negotiated, providing some measure of relief to thousands in desperate need. Donate now to ensure charities can meet this crisis as blockades are lifted and deliver aid where it’s needed most. 

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