On 17 January 2024 (ACLED) reported that 2023 was one of the most violent years across the Palestinian territories in decades.
Following a deadly, coordinated surprise assault by Hamas on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) launched an unprecedented air campaign on the Gaza Strip, with Israeli ground troops entering the northern area of the coastal enclave three weeks later. Since then, Israeli forces have expanded their operation into central and southern Gaza; fighting remains ongoing and is expected to still last for several months.
The Gaza Health Ministry has said that close to 40,000 people have been killed in the territory since 7 October 2023.
Reported on 29 January 2024 by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA):
(1) The ongoing conflict has caused the collapse of local livelihood systems and displaced around 1.9 million people in the Gaza Strip.
(2) Acute food insecurity is alarmingly high, with the entire population of 2.2 million people facing Crisis levels (IPC Phase 3 ie: "Serious") or worse.
(3) The risk of famine is very high, as the threshold for acute food insecurity has already been exceeded. Continued hostilities could lead to even higher levels of acute malnutrition and non-trauma mortality by mid-2024.
(4) Immediate cessation of hostilities and unimpeded humanitarian access are crucial to prevent the risk of famine in the Gaza Strip.
E2G FOOD is producing high-protein, nourishing food bars and collaborating with charities, INARA and Global Empowerment Mission for their distribution within the region.
Our E2G FOOD bars have been tasted and loved by community members in Gaza and together with INARA and GEM, our aim is to provide more communities with more FOOD.
"In line with our mission to efficiently deliver aid to those in need, GEM is pleased to work with E2G FOOD to ensure this delivery can be transported efficiently from your UAE production facility to Egypt, where GEM has established the logistics capacity to properly transport humanitarian goods to Gaza.

“My five children have been starving for more than a month, and we do not have any flour,” stated 46-year-old M.F., who requested anonymity due to safety concerns. “We eat a small amount of rice each day, so when I learned that flour aid was available, I walked for 13 kilometres before the Israeli army opened their machine gunfire. We were hit by shells fired, resulting in several casualties. I managed to survive, without receiving any flour.”

Your donation will improve the lives of individuals and communities suffering severe hunger and whose homes, families and livelihoods have been devastated by the deadly and ongoing conflict in Gaza.
