What organisations are working on the ground in palestine?

I would like to do something to support the massive crisis that is unfolding there as we speak.

Does anyone know of any charitable organisations that are able to get aid there? I don’t want to donate to charities that are not able to use the funds.

UNWRA

As it stands, my understanding is that no aid is allowed into Gaza. Unless a safe corridor is negotiated, it doesn’t look like that will change. UNRWA schools were bombed.

No aid is allowed

Maybe boost funds of charities for the aftermath, Red Cross etc

This is what I fear, lots of charities say they are on the ground but I don’t see how the aid is getting through.

For anyone interested in donating this is a useful read:

This latest phase of conflict has erupted amid severe funding shortfalls, which in June forced WFP to cut vital assistance to thousands of vulnerable Palestinian families. WFP requires an immediate US$17.3 million for the next four weeks to address this emergency situation. In total we require US$44.8 million over the next six months, for one-month emergency response and six months’ regular assistance.
Food-insecurity levels were already alarmingly high before the conflict intensified, with one third of people in Palestine – 1.8 million – experiencing food insecurity.
Our planned emergency support comprises: fresh bread and canned food to 200,000 internally displaced people in UN shelters; cash transfers to 100,000 people outside shelters; in-kind food to 300,000 people in host communities; and food and cash assistance to 205,000 people previously supported by WFP.

That's a lot of cash to be raised

I doubt they will get anywhere near that 😞
