March 2025 - The humanitarian crisis in the West Bank and Gaza remains dire, with the UN estimating that 3.3 million people (1 million children), require life-saving assistance in 2025. The health system in the Gaza Strip continues to be dismantled and devastated by attacks, with70% of hospitals non-functional due to fuel shortages and damage. Overcrowded living conditions and poor sanitation have caused a rise in communicable diseases, while severe restrictions delay and disrupt humanitarian efforts to provide essential health care and services.

With GAC’s support, the World Health Organization (WHO) responds to immediate health needs in Gaza and the West Bank, with the aim to save lives, alleviate suffering and maintain human dignity.
Project activities include: (1) increasing access to essential health services, (2) enhancing disease surveillance and diagnostic systems to improve early detection and response to outbreaks, and (3) supporting the coordinated delivery of health services with UN agencies, international and national partners, and donors.

March 2025 – Migration and displacement across Central America continues due to violence, political instability, economic challenges, and climate change. The region, stretching from Panama to Guatemala, serves as a key migratory corridor, with fluid, multi-directional routes and a rising number of returnees. Many migrants rely on dangerous routes, facing risks such as human trafficking and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Limited access to health care, including sexual and reproductive health services, further worsens the challenges faced by migrants, especially women and girls.

With GAC’s support, the Canadian Red Cross Society (CRCS), together with the relevant national Red Cross Societies, helps provide life-saving assistance to address gaps in SGBV and basic healthcare services particularly for migrants, including women, girls and other marginalized groups. This project focuses on 4 Central American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, and Panama. Project activities include: (1) providing critical services to SGBV survivors, including comprehensive case management and therapy sessions; (2) providing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, particularly for women and girls; (3) delivering first aid and primary-health-care services; and (4) conducting community information sessions on preventing SGBV.
