Resources to help civilians in Gaza as death toll continues to rise

Now in its 18th day, the devastating humanitarian crisis in Gaza is deepening, with Israel cutting off access to food, water, fuel and electricity

As the brutal war between Hamas and Israel rages on, the death toll tragically continues to rise with fatalities in Gaza reaching over 5000 according to reports from de facto authorities there, per the UN. This comes after United Nations entities have repeated urgent calls for a ceasefire and more aid convoys.

The conflict has been heavily documented in the media over the past couple of weeks, leaving many of us feeling helpless to the situation but there are multiple organisations you can support in order to help those in Gaza, no matter how far away you are.

Below, find a roundup of charities and organisations you can donate to today in aid of Gaza.
