Together with local partner organizations, Welthungerhilfe runs nutrition centers for women and children where they receive specialized food and drinking water is provided by tanker truck. These vital programs will continue and be expanded to areas to which people are now returning. Welthungerhilfe is also laying the groundwork to support a possible reconstruction effort, provided the ceasefire holds and humanitarian aid workers can operate safely in Gaza.
In their work, Welthungerhilfe and its partners adhere strictly to the humanitarian principles of neutrality, humanity, impartiality and independence.
Welthungerhilfe is one of the largest private aid organizations in Germany; it is politically independent and non-denominational. With courage and determination, it is striving for a world without hunger. Since it was founded on December 14, 1962, 12,777 overseas projects in about 72 countries and territories have been supported with 5.42 billion euros. Welthungerhilfe follows the principle of empowering people to help themselves to sustainably improve their living conditions, through approaches ranging from fast disaster relief to reconstruction and long-term development cooperation projects with national and international partner organizations.
