This video highlights the ongoing work of our GEM MENA branch inside Gaza, where we’ve been operating continuously for the past two years. Throughout this time, our teams have done everything possible to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches Palestinian civilians directly and safely. Despite the immense challenges on the ground, our supply chain has remained remarkably secure — with only 3.5 trucks affected by looting over two years of operations. @globalempowermentmissionmena @hcicanada

As tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians are forced to flee from the north to the south, our @globalempowermentmissionmena teams, in partnership with @hcicanada, are on the ground providing immediate relief. Along the main southern evacuation corridor, our teams are distributing bottled water to families and drivers making this difficult journey.We are also delivering more than 2,500 m³ of clean water to IDP tent camps through mobile water trucks, ensuring families have safe drinking water in some of the hardest-hit areas. One of the primary distribution points is Al Nawairi Hill, located on Gaza Beach Main Street, where thousands of displaced people are now sheltering.In addition, we continue to support displaced civilians in camps with our 23-kg family food boxes, each containing enough essentials to sustain a household for weeks. Beyond food, we have mobilized large quantities of tents, blankets, and hygiene kits, ensuring families have shelter, warmth, and dignity in the midst of displacement.
