Will you donate today to help older people in Gaza?
The situation is desperate. People in Gaza are in urgent need of food, clean water, medical assistance and shelter.
Older people are especially at risk
Older people are facing unique challenges and are among those most at risk, but despite this, their needs are often ignored or forgotten.
How your donation could help older people and their families
Our partners are doing all they can to source supplies locally and will scale up as soon as the situation allows.
This support could include:
- Cash transfers for older people so that they can buy the things they, and their families, need
- Emergency shelters for older people and their families who have been displaced or lost their homes
- Food tailored to the needs of older people as well as clean water
- Medical assistance for older people and homebased care for those unable to leave their homes
- Mental health support for older people so that they can start to process the trauma
Older people and their families need your help right now. Please donate today.

Age International is raising money for our Gaza Humanitarian Appeal, to support our work with older people and their families affected by the crisis in Gaza. Donation examples are representative of the assistance that older people could receive. Any income not spent after twelve months past the end of the appeal may be allocated to another emergency situation that requires our support.
