Gaza in crisis: Caritas Czech Republic sustains hope where it is needed most

Since October 2023, the Gaza Strip has been facing a profound humanitarian crisis. The civilian population is repeatedly displaced and faces a severe shortage of essential resources, including drinking water, food, medicine, and electricity. The area is entirely cut off from the outside world, with no safe refuge and no means of escape. In this environment, Caritas Czech Republic is working to assist. With its team on the ground in Gaza, the organisation delivers basic healthcare, psychosocial support, and humanitarian aid.

Many educational institutions rely on wells or old plumbing systems that do not meet national safety standards, exposing children to health risks on a daily basis. To address this issue, Caritas Czech Republic, with financial support from the European Union, is conducting an initiative aimed at modernising sanitation facilities in schools and raising awareness about hygiene among students, teachers, and parents.
