Alert note: Gaza Humanitarian crisis: Help needed now

The Danish House in Palestine has submitted an alert note due to humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

War has already caused a grave humanitarian crisis and by (October 16), 2808 Palestinians have been killed and 10850 injured in Gaza (OCHA 16/10). Due to the total siege on Gaza, which includes restrictions on food, electricity, and water, civilians in Gaza are experiencing severe humanitarian crises. This deprives them of essential aspects of security, such as personal, community, food, and health security. This is a spike in the already existing grave human insecurities that the population in Gaza faced before the 7th of October. Already in January 2023, OCHA assessed that 1,3 million people were in need (OCHA 2023).

On 13/10, Israel ordered over a million civilians to leave the northern Gaza in less than 24 hours, resulting in mass displacement from the North to the South, where nearly 600,000 IDPs were hosted in the central and southern Gaza. 333,000 IDP are currently in UNRWA schools in south and central Gaza, in dire conditions (OCHA 16/10).

There is a need for actors on all levels in order on both short term and long term in order to address insecurities and resilience. Because of this, there is a need for trained psychosocial support staff to be able to act on ground when a potential ceasefire is reached in order for children’s and youth’s immediate and long-term resilience. Until the time of the ceasefire, there is an urgent need for emergency kits for children, as well as, insofar that it is possible under the bombings, trained psychosocial support staff.
