The ongoing crisis in the Middle East is creating unimaginable hardship for families in Gaza, Lebanon, and surrounding countries. Entire communities are being uprooted by violence and displacement, leaving them without easy access to food, clean water, or safe shelter. As this humanitarian crisis worsens, these vulnerable families need our help—and they need it now. 

Every action counts. Here are three powerful ways you can support families in Gaza and Lebanon during this time of devastation: 

1. Donate to provide urgent emergency aid

Your donation can directly help families in desperate need. Even the smallest contribution can supply essentials like food, clean water, and shelter. These basic needs are not just for survival—they offer a lifeline of hope. With your support, families can find safety, hope and the strength to rebuild. 

2. Call for increased aid by contacting your MP

Your voice matters. By urging the government to increase Australia’s aid budget from 0.68% to at least 1%, you send a powerful message: We will not turn away from those in need. Contacting your MP takes just a minute, and we’ve made it fast and easy for you via the link below. 

3. Raise your voice for peace

As we mark another year of conflict, it’s more important than ever to speak up. Whether you’re talking with friends, family, or posting on social media, your voice can help shed light on the crisis and call for an end to the suffering. Together, we can amplify the message of peace and hope. 

The time to act is now

Families in Gaza and Lebanon cannot wait. They are enduring unimaginable horrors, and your support—whether through a donation, advocacy, or raising awareness—can bring them the hope and help they desperately need. 

Every moment counts. Stand with us to ensure families in the Middle East have the resources they need to survive and rebuild.
