As violence escalates across the Middle East, Caritas Jerusalem remains unwavering in its mission to deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance to the region’s most vulnerable, despite mounting risks and operational challenges. 

Following a brief pause over the weekend to ensure the safety and security of participants and staff, Caritas Jerusalem has resumed critical services, adapting to severe logistical constraints and ongoing aerial threats. 

In the West Bank, a medical centre has reopened, and the hot meal service for elderly and disabled residents is once again operational. 

In Gaza, medical services continue at both the main centre and outreach points. However, the ongoing closure of the Kerem Shalom and Rafah crossings has led to severe shortages of food, fuel, and medicine. Caritas teams are working urgently to stretch limited resources while advocating for renewed humanitarian access.
