AFSC is responding to this crisis both through humanitarian aid and advocacy for peace. We mourn all who have been killed and call for the peaceful release of all civilians held captive.  

As a Quaker organization, AFSC firmly opposes violence in all its forms while working to address its root causes. We have been working in Israel, Gaza, and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory since 1948. We have earned a trusted reputation in the region for honest aid work and our principled position for peace based on respecting the dignity of all people and their human rights.  

Our team in Gaza is delivering life-saving humanitarian aid as conditions allow. In the U.S., our advocacy team has mobilized people across the country for a cease-fire and for changes to realize a just, sustainable peace. Please join us in supporting these efforts.
