Delivering Aid in Gaza in Wartime
How Anera is navigating unprecedented impediments to delivering aid in Gaza during war

Event Overview
Gaza is, in the ‘best’ of times, a difficult place to work as a humanitarian aid organization. The blockade that has been in place since 2007 has made bringing items into the territory a great challenge and it has strangled the economy, forcing some 80% of the population to rely on outside aid. The war, however, has made things immeasurably worse in Gaza. Very little is getting in, at a time when people are starving, homeless and desperate.

Anera is one of the few organizations that has successfully and consistently delivered aid in Gaza since the beginning of the war.
