In addition, Mercy-USA has been partnering with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) for 15 years supporting education and healthcare projects as well as responding to emergencies like this one.

According to multiple sources including the Palestinian Ministry of Health on January 28, 2024, at least 26,400 Palestinians had been killed in the Gaza Strip since October, 7th. At least 10,000 of those killed were children. Another 65,087, including at least 8,600 children were injured. At least 8,000 Palestinians had been reported missing.

According to data at the time of publication from the United Nation’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the World Health Organization and the Palestinian government, more than half of Gaza’s homes, 360,000 residential units, had been destroyed or severely damaged. 378 places of learning had been destroyed; only 14 of 35 hospitals were partially open and 122 ambulances had been destroyed or damaged. 11 bakeries were destroyed.

Mercy-USA has partnered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East for fifteen years providing support for education projects, healthcare and emergency relief.  So far, we have supported emergency relief including healthcare for some of the 1.7 million displaced people in Gaza.
