Action Against Hunger urges G7 members to push for a ceasefire in Gaza and increased humanitarian funding and access in Ukraine

At the closing of the G7 Ministerial meeting on Foreign Affairs, Action Against Hunger welcomes the G7 State members’ commitment to address food insecurity and malnutrition. We recall that reaching the SDG 2 Zero Hunger objective requires urgent measures to address the structural causes of hunger – armed conflicts, climate change, poverty and inequalities. We call for G7 members to commit to both short-term humanitarian action in emergencies, including in ‘forgotten crises’, and to a long-term transformation of food systems to become more sustainable, resilient and fair by investing in an agroecological approach.

Attacks in Rafah jeopardise our humanitarian work

The military operation in southern Gaza, where more than 1.3 million people and a dozen of our colleagues are sheltering, puts at risk our distributions of water, food, hygiene kits, shelter or waste collection and cleaning services to prevent the outbreak of diseases. In the last 4 months, Action Against Hunger has been able to provide fresh and dry food baskets, cash assistance and water, hygiene and sanitation projects to some 320,000 people trapped in Rafah, a place where more than half a million people are suffering from a catastrophic food crisis.

Thousands of children in West Bank face triple threat: collapse of the education system, food crisis and destruction of the reference environment

Action Against Hunger is deeply concerned about how the extreme increase in violence in both the West Bank and Gaza is restricting children's right to education. Both the education systems in Gaza and the West Bank suffered limitations and extensive damage long before the attacks after 7 October 2023; however, the last few months have left an unprecedented number of child deaths, attacks on schools and restrictions on movement that do not allow children to have the education to which they are entitled.
