Palestine
Despite continuous bombing, attacks on hospitals and residential areas, killings of civilians and aid workers, and the blockade of fuel and emergency aid, NRC’s teams managed to reach more than 253,000 Palestinians in Gaza with aid in 2024.
Our emergency response focused on several critical areas:
-
We distributed tents and other materials so that families could set up simple emergency shelters.
-
We provided financial support to help families meet their basic needs, like food.
-
We delivered clean water to help prevent the spread of diseases.
-
We ensured that children had access to education and safe spaces to play in.
-
We offered information and legal aid to help people secure their housing and property rights.

Sudan
Famine was declared in five areas of Sudan last year. The conflict has caused food prices to skyrocket, leaving many people unable to afford even basic commodities.
In 2024, we continued our vital support to people affected by Sudan’s escalating crisis, reaching more than 1 million people. As war and famine displaced millions and left half the population in need of aid, NRC provided food, shelter, clean water, education, and legal support.

Ukraine
The war in Ukraine has caused massive suffering, death, destruction and displacement since it escalated three years ago.
In 2024, intensified attacks on civilian infrastructure and fighting along the frontlines deepened the humanitarian crisis.
Last year, we supported 285,000 people in Ukraine. We focused on helping children and youth return to education by rehabilitating damaged schools, building protective shelters, and creating safe, supportive learning environments. Our Better Learning Programme provided teachers and parents with tools to help children manage stress and trauma—enabling over 32,500 young people to focus on their education, even amid the chaos.
Beyond education, NRC delivered life-saving assistance including heaters, cash support for food and fuel, and legal aid to help displaced families secure essential documents, housing, and access to public services.

Thank you so much for your support and engagement for people forced to flee. We could not do what we do without the generosity and kindness of our supporters.
