Description


November 2023 – Hostilities between Hamas and Israel erupted on 7 October 2023, resulting in a scale of violence unseen in the past decade. The current humanitarian crisis is unfolding in connection with longstanding Israeli occupation policies, the closure of the Gaza Strip imposed by Israel and Egypt, and recurring rounds of hostilities between Israeli forces and members of Hamas and other non-state armed groups in the Gaza Strip. The primary mission of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is to help protect the lives and dignity of people affected by conflict and other violent situations. The ICRC assists and works to prevent further suffering by promoting and strengthening international humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles. The ICRC works with local Red Cross and Red Crescent national society staff and volunteers to implement its protection and assistance programmes worldwide. With the support of GAC, the ICRC’s humanitarian operations provide protection, emergency relief, and other essential services to people affected by armed conflict and other violent situations. It also seeks to promote respect for international humanitarian law. This project supports the ICRC’s response to the acute needs of vulnerable Palestinian people affected by the crisis in Gaza and the West Bank. Project activities include: (1) protecting and assisting people affected by conflict and violence by providing medical care, income support, and food assistance; (2) ensuring the respect of international humanitarian law in treating civilians not participating in hostilities and detainees; (3) promoting humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality, and independence among all stakeholders; and (4) participating with all stakeholders in negotiating safe access to populations in need.
