International Medical Corps is horrified by the Hamas terrorist attacks and the loss of lives in Israel. The further loss of lives in Gaza is tragically impacting families caught in the crossfire.
Humanitarian assistance for families is critically needed across the region.
We do not have an operational presence in Israel and, as is often our practice, when we don’t have an operational presence on the ground, we support trusted partners who are responding. International Medical Corps is supporting one of our long-time partners—JDC—and its emergency response efforts in Israel. JDC has also supported our humanitarian missions around the world.
Humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where we do have a presence, are worsening dramatically for the civilian population. We’re in communication with partners and health facilities throughout Gaza, and are responding—as conditions permit—by providing critically needed supplies for affected families, by distributing essential medicines, medical equipment and supplies to health facilities, and by providing such mental health support as psychological first-aid services.
