“We are committed to providing aid for as long as the people in Gaza are in dire need,” said Dr. Mohamed Ashmawey, CEO of Human Appeal. “No human should endure the hunger people in Gaza are experiencing, and Human Appeal is grateful to WFP, partners and donors who enable the delivery of critically needed relief aid.”

Human Appeal is supporting WFP to provide essential nourishment through items such as lentils, green beans, pasta, rice, canned beans, flour, freekeh, and more to keep hunger at bay.
