Since October 2023, the well-known Catholic Relief Services (CRS) has been providing humanitarian assistance to the Holy Land and Sudan. |
The Holy Land
CRS has supported 1.1 million people across Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza with food, shelter, hygiene supplies, cash assistance, and counseling. Their current efforts focus on lifesaving assistance to meet people's physical and emotional needs, hoping to transition to sustainable solutions for recovery once the situation has stabilized in the region.
During the past year, CRS has adjusted its operations in Gaza in response to ongoing challenges, including evacuation orders, border closures, and a significant impact on staff and their families. This response to the crisis is regional in scope, with coordination, partnerships, and activities across Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza, Egypt, and Jordan. Despite extreme operational challenges, their emphasis on efficient systems, locally led approaches, high-quality programming, and accountability ensures that people in need get the aid up to the needed scale.
Since late 2024, their efforts expanded to the crises in Lebanon and Syria, where they work in partnership with other agencies to support families displaced and affected by conflict, as well as those returning home.
