Gaza Emergency Updates
This page has been compiled as a resource for ongoing updates on the crisis in Gaza. Grassroots International is in contact with our partners and allies inside Gaza and will provide regular updates on their situation, as well as opportunities to donate and take action.
We are now accepting donations to provide much-needed emergency relief to the people of Gaza. Grassroots International has longstanding relationships with progressive community organizations in the region and can help get resources - such as medical supplies, food, and water - where they are most needed as soon as possible. Our partners are also engaged in long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts.
