Here’s how you can help people in Gaza recover from the conflict.
More than 2 million people in Gaza have been suffering through the devastating 15-month Israeli military offensive, near total siege, and blockade of food, water, and lifesaving essentials.
A temporary ceasefire announced in January 2025 is allowing many people displaced from across Gaza to return to whatever remains of their homes and neighborhoods and be reunited with family they have not seen in more than a year.
Oxfam is closely following the movement of the people and will continue to address their basic needs. Oxfam's early recovery work will focus on clean water and hygiene, food, support to rebuild, livelihoods and protection.

How can I help Gaza? Donate to Oxfam's emergency appeal
Israel's bombing campaign and the systematic blocking of aid we have witnessed over the past year plus have resulted in thousands of Palestinians being killed, entire communities obliterated, and the very fabric of Gaza shattered.
Israel used food and water as weapons of war as well as intentionally blocking aid from entering Gaza and reaching the 2.1 million Palestinians in desperate need of basic resources, shelter and safety.
Despite huge obstacles, we’ve been responding with our partners, including the Palestinian Medical Relief Society, Juzoor for Health and Social Development, the Economic and Social Development Center of Palestine, the Palestinian Agriculture and Relief Commission, and the Palestinian Development Association.
In collaboration with 14 partner organizations in Gaza, Oxfam has supported more than 1.2 million people with lifesaving assistance, including food assistance and hygiene support since the start of the war.
- Emergency food assistance, including vegetable baskets, food parcels, cash, and vouchers.
- Clean water and sanitation, by trucking in water and repairing badly damaged water and wastewater pipelines, as well as installing desalination units and tap stands and latrines.
- Oxfam helped partners in Gaza distribute hygiene kits, jerry cans and buckets for storing clean water, and other hygiene items to people affected by the conflict in Gaza.
