ShelterBox Engaging in Gaza - Urgent Appeal 8 February 2024

Twice the population of Auckland are displaced within Gaza. Many seeking "safety" in an area the size of Takapuna - Devonport. ShelterBox is working with other humanitarian organisations including MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians) to deploy emergency shelter and essential items to as many people in Gaza as we can support.

Together with MAP, we are procuring items in Egypt and Türkiye. The situation is complex, but we intend that our aid will reach people in the coming weeks via the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza.

Please consider donating to our Gaza emergency appeal Givealittle page, or creating your own fundraising campaign.
