The Palestinian people of Jenin have recently been facing violence, with houses being bulldozed, ten reported dead, and over 100 said to be injured. With ongoing conflict, political instability, and economic hardship, the Palestinian people require urgent humanitarian aid to address their basic needs, including food, clean water, healthcare, and shelter. Every year, tensions escalate and result in hundreds of people dead and injured. Donate now make a difference.
The Gaza Strip remains a battleground for ongoing conflict, while innocent civilians endure the brunt of the violence.
Recently, escalations of violence have caused destruction and damage to numerous homes, worsening the humanitarian crisis. This dire situation underscores the urgent need for humanitarian aid to provide food, clean water, healthcare, and shelter to those innocently caught in the conflict.
Now with the arrival of cold winter months, the situation is exacerbated further.
Human Concern International is on the ground, striving to alleviate the suffering of those innocently caught in the conflict.
A needs assessment is in progress to gauge the extent of the disaster and identify the short and long-term needs of the innocent affected, designating the beneficiaries for HCI’s assistance.
Human Concern International is on the ground, doing what we can to make a difference.
A needs assessment will determine the extent of the disaster and identify the short and long-term needs of the affected people, as well as the beneficiaries, for HCI’s assistance.
The relief effort comprises three phases:
Human Concern International is comitting to sponsoring 300+ orphans for 5 years.
HCI calls on the community to raise $1.2 million to support 300 children in Gaza for the next five years. The children who end up surviving this war will need immediate attention and support. HCI will provide each child with psychological support, medical attention, food, and shelter. Most importantly, we aim to ensure that children are ready to go back to school. We cannot lose an entire generation to war.
This is a community wide initiative, so there will not be profiles provided to
individual donors.
Instead, you will receive updates on the overall program and its impact.
At the moment, we continue to help everyone in need, including children, through our first phase of relief work. This sponsorship project will be the immediate second phase of our relief work. It will address the urgent needs, as well as take care of the long-term needs of the children. The result will start as soon as a ceasefire is reached..
We will share photos and videos of our activities with the children.
Yes, we work with multiple partners on the ground. They have experience and
expertise in running programs and activities with a focused on children and their wellbeing.
HCI does not facilitate a service for adoption of children.
Human Concern International (HCI) has been operating in Gaza since 2000. We have operations across different sectors, including monthly food aid, emergency response, WASH, health, and education. We work with reputable partners that have the capacity and ability to provide timely assistance to people in need. We understand there are questions about delivering aid in these highly challenging times. The blockades and lack of humanitarian access are impeding the ability of many NGOs to provide help. HCI can manoeuvre around these challenges, for the time being, by working with partners that have access to funds and supplies inside Gaza.
At the moment, we are using WhatsApp for communication, which is encrypted and accessible. Our staff on the ground are updating us constantly.
In the unlikely event that our staff cannot charge their devices, and all hospitals and emergency shelters at schools, no longer have any fuel to run their generators, this would constitute a a catastrophic situation where all aid delivery would come to an end, including that being provided by the UN agency.

Families are sheltering with their family members, within UNRWA schools, and in the masjids.
The shelter items that HCI has procured including blankets, pillows, and mattresses will be delivered to the UNRWA schools as the safest shelter currently.
