As of early 2024, more than 96% of women and children aged 6–23 months in Palestine are not meeting their nutritional needs due to a lack of dietary diversity.

For over 55 years, Palestine has endured a protracted political crisis under Israeli military occupation. The ongoing conflict, internal divisions, and repeated escalations of violence have led to severe humanitarian and protection crises. Without a sustainable political solution, millions of Palestinians continue to face hardship, insecurity, and limited access to basic services.

Palestine is divided into the West Bank (including East Jerusalem and Areas A, B, and C) and the Gaza Strip. In Gaza, 15 years of blockade and movement restrictions have created catastrophic living conditions. Since Hamas took control in 2007, Israel’s land, sea, and air blockade has severely limited the movement of people and goods, isolating 2.2 million residents from the rest of the world.

The ongoing military incursion since October 2023 has triggered one of the worst humanitarian collapses in modern history, devastating Gaza’s infrastructure, food systems, and public health. Decades of fragile development have been completely reversed, leaving millions in urgent need of lifesaving aid and global solidarity.
