Food & Nutrition

What we Provide

Since March 2024, Dignity for Palestinians has been distributing food and nutrition to internally displaced Palestinians. Distributions have included:

• Locally-sourced vegetable baskets
• Infant formula milk and fortified cereals
• Staple food parcels
• Sweets for children for Eid

By providing emergency food and nutrition, the campaign aims to meet the immediate needs of the displaced population, reducing the risk of malnutrition, dehydration, and health complications.

Why This Matters

In Gaza today, thousands of people and their families are displaced from their homes with little to no income. This includes young children, the elderly, widows, orphans, and the disabled.

Food and other sources of nutrition are essential to support their health and wellbeing. Your support allows us to support those who cannot afford food due to the horrific conditions and exorbitant prices caused by the blockade.

Our distributions of infant formula and fortified cereal is designed to reduce preventable illness and ensure children get the nutrition they need during their most critical years.

Vegetable baskets not only supports displaced households with nutritious meals but also helps sustain Gaza’s struggling farmers and market vendors.

How It Works

Dignity for Palestinians leverages a wide network of supplier relationships built prior to the war to procure goods from private suppliers. Our team works with local private suppliers, the same ones used by organizations like World Central Kitchen and ANERA. These relationships allow our campaign to stay responsive and well-organized under extremely constrained conditions.

Your Support Makes It Possible

Our work is only possible through the support of allies across the world. Your donations help us to cover the rising costs of food and other forms of nutrition, as well as transportation for our distribution operations.
