As the conflict in Gaza continues, CAFOD and our Church partners are there, responding.
Your donations since the start of the conflict have been a vital lifeline. Right now, CAFOD's partner, Caritas Jerusalem, is delivering essential medical treatment to displaced people and providing medicines to treat chronic illnesses. We have helped 1,400 households with cash to buy supplies in the last month and we are currently feeding 2,000 people with new stocks of flour and rice.
Read more about how CAFOD is responding, thanks to the support of people of like you.
Despite the restrictions on aid coming into Gaza, CAFOD's local partners are working tirelessly to help people. With your ongoing support, they will do all in their power to keep doing so.

How will my parish's donations help?
Millions across the Middle East have fled their homes in search of safety. They urgently need shelter, food and basic supplies.
Our partners are helping these families right now as they arrive in safer areas. Your donations will help them to provide:
emergency healthcare
food packages
safe shelter
hygiene kits
mental health support
cash to buy fuel, blankets and other essentials.
With you, I implore from heaven the peace that we find so hard to build on earth. I implore it for Lebanon and for the entire Middle East. Lebanon is, and must remain, a project for peace.
