Unrwa: Palestinian women-led organisations still 'heart of humanitarian response' in Gaza

A survey by UN Women has revealed that 35 percent of offices belonging to women-led organisations in Gaza have been damaged by Israeli attacks since 7 October.

Despite this, over half of women-led organisations continue to operate in the enclave, providing life-saving assistance and relief through a large volunteer network.

“Despite all their suffering and deprivation, Palestinian women, and the organisations they lead, are… at the heart of the current humanitarian response,” said the UN organisation.

📢 Our new Gender Alert on #Gaza reveals the staggering challenges women-led organizations are facing.

Yet their commitment to saving lives is UNWAVERING.

We call for urgent, coordinated investment in their operations on the ground.
