Samaritan’s Purse, led by Franklin Graham, has carried out multiple aid missions to Gaza over the last month, flying more than 40 tonnes of food at a time into Israel before transport for distribution. Graham says these airlifts are part of ongoing efforts to get life-saving supplies to families in desperate need and has asked for continued prayer for teams on the ground. Distribution of humanitarian aid has become increasingly dangerous, yet the charity remains committed to assisting civilians in Gaza.
Samaritan’s Purse staff are providing medical care such as the treatment of this Gazan’s hand.
“Innocent families are suffering in Gaza and Israel, and many lives have been lost since the start of this conflict,” said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse. “Samaritan’s Purse is working to help innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. These food supplies are a tangible reminder that God sees them, cares for them, and has not forgotten them in their suffering. Please join me in praying for peace in the Middle East.”

Since Oct. 7, 2023, Samaritan’s Purse has been actively providing life-saving aid to innocent civilians affected by the war in both Israel and Gaza in Jesus’ Name. The organization is working through partners to deliver food, clean water, shelter materials, and other critical supplies to families in need within Palestinian territories while also providing medical aid, trauma kits, and emergency food to Israeli families in need.
Additionally, 22 of 42 ambulances pledged by Samaritan’s Purse have now been delivered to Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency medical service. These vehicles, including armored units, are replacing those destroyed in attacks by Hamas and expanding the agency’s emergency response capacity.
Please be in prayer for our flight teams and our teams on the ground. Pray also for peace and for relief for all those who are suffering.
