Civilians Waiting for Aid Killed in Gaza

What happened in Gaza and updates on your impact [CRISIS UPDATE: Civilians Waiting for Aid Killed in Gaza]( We were about to send you February's newsletter (below) highlighting the hunger crisis in Gaza when we heard the latest horrific news. Today, Palestinians in Gaza City were waiting for desperately-needed food aid when gunfire rang out causing panic. In the resulting chaos, over 100 Palestinians were killed and at least 700 were injured. The only solution to end this mass suffering is an immediate and permanent ceasefire and return of all hostages. Project HOPE is doing everything we can to help civilians in Gaza. Our team has already treated over 6,000 patients and provided primary health care to over 3,000 people in Rafah. Just today, Project HOPE was able to deliver more than nine tons of medical relief.
