GAZA URGENT UPDATE
On November 5th, an Israeli airstrike hit a designated ‘safe zone’ in Gaza, where hundreds of people were living in ShelterBox tents.
This camp, established by PARC and its international partners, was meant to be a sanctuary. Instead, it has become a scene of devastation.
People have been killed, trauma has been inflicted, and ShelterBox tents have been destroyed. Hundreds of people are now homeless once again, forced to move from one unsafe place to another. It is clear that nowhere is safe.
We will continue working with our partners, MAP and PARC, to provide emergency shelter and lifesaving aid to those displaced by the conflict. But we cannot do this alone.
Please donate today to support people affected by the conflict in Gaza and other disasters around the world.
OUR AID HAS ARRIVED IN GAZA
We have aid being distributed to people in Gaza. Items like tarpaulins, mattresses, water carriers and kitchen sets are being distributed by our partner Social Development Forum who are based in Gaza.
We have more aid on the move. Trucks filled with tents are joining the queue in Egypt, waiting to enter Gaza. And we have more tents being stored near Amman in Jordan.
Watch our team’s latest update from Jordan now.
What is happening in Gaza?

Up to 1.7 million people are displaced in Gaza. That’s over 80% of the population with no choice but to shelter in community buildings like schools, makeshift shelters, or out in the open.
There is severe overcrowding and disease is spreading. Many of the people who had fled their homes had travelled to Rafah. Now 100,000 people have been ordered to evacuate the city. People who have already been displaced now face having to move again, and there is no where safe to go.
We are providing emergency items like tarpaulins and rope, to help people make damaged buildings and other shelters watertight. Blankets, mattresses, pillows and floormats help people to stay warm. We’re providing washing sets, water carriers, kitchen sets, and items like nappies, toothbrushes, and sanitary items. Vital items for people with no belongings and unable to return home. We are also scaling up our response with durable tents.
Access to water, food and medicine is very difficult. It’s made worse by fuel shortages. Without electricity, people cannot use lights in the dark evenings, keep warm, or cook food.
Together with our partner MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians) and their local partner SDF (the Social Development Forum), we’ve sourced aid items in Egypt and Türkiye. Trucks of ShelterBox aid have now crossed the border into Gaza, and the aid is being distributed to people who need it. Trucks filled with tents are joining the queue in Egypt waiting to enter Gaza, and more tents are currently being stored in Jordan before transport and distribution. The people of Gaza desperately need the essential shelter items your support is providing.BCX8″>providing.
With your support, we can continue to provide emergency shelter and essential items to the people who have nowhere to live in Gaza.
ShelterBox continues to call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and protection of all civilians.
