Description:

January 2024 – Hostilities between Hamas and Israel erupted on 7 October 2023, resulting in a scale of violence unseen in the past decade. The current humanitarian crisis is unfolding in connection with longstanding Israeli occupation policies, the closure of the Gaza Strip imposed by Israel and Egypt, and recurring rounds of hostilities between Israeli forces and members of Hamas and other non-state armed groups in the Gaza Strip. In response to the rising humanitarian needs, the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement provides emergency humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip. With GAC’s support, the Canadian Red Cross Society (CRCS) dispatches solicited emergency relief supplies to support relief operations in Gaza. These supplies include blankets and hygiene kits to meet the basic needs of the most vulnerable people impacted by the crisis.
