Anera is responding to high levels of food insecurity and hunger across Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Jordan by providing support to families in need this Ramadan. Our teams are distributing hot meals, fresh produce and food parcels, food vouchers and more to provide nourishing, balanced meals and joy and dignity to families.
In Gaza, more than half a million people are experiencing extreme hunger and starvation. Minimal access to protein, fresh vegetables and fruit is increasing rates of malnutrition, especially among children. In the West Bank, food insecurity has nearly doubled over the last two years. And in Lebanon, hunger remains a daily struggle for families across the country. The reality is that many families will face hunger during Ramadan, but you have the opportunity to change that.
In Gaza, Anera is preparing hot chicken and rice meals for iftars; providing vouchers to purchase food from the local market; and distributing fresh produce parcels to provide nutrition-rich foods to meet a household's cooking needs for 4-6 days. In the West Bank, we are distributing food vouchers to families. In Lebanon, our teams are distributing 57-pound food parcels with fruits, vegetables and proteins. And in Jordan, Anera is hosting a large communal iftar for 529 patients from Gaza.
These interventions will ensure dignified access to nutritious food, enabling families to observe Ramadan safely amid ongoing humanitarian constraints. The project aims to strengthen food security and reduce harmful coping strategies during the holy month of Ramadan.
