"I no longer remember what food tastes like," said the girl in Gaza. Her words echo the reality humanitarian workers face every day

Since May, Ola has been coordinating social work in southern Gaza. Despite her own exhaustion and painful losses, she helps every day those who have lost their homes, suffer from hunger, or need psychological support. Under the programme funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic and fundraiser Caritas for Gaza, Caritas provides basic healthcare, medicine distribution, crisis intervention, and training of local social workers and psychologists. We are among the few organisations with staff on the ground in the Gaza Strip, working to ensure that people there do not lose hope or access to support—a commitment we honour and reflect on the World Humanitarian Day.

Thousands displaced in southern Syria – Security and Humanitarian Situation Remains Critical

Caritas Czech Republic has been operating in the Turkish-Syrian border region since 2013. In February 2023, a powerful earthquake struck Syria and Turkey. In cooperation with our local partners, we provided on-site assistance – ranging from essential material aid to hygiene kits and warm clothing. In December 2024, the government of Bashar al-Assad came to an end, leaving the country in a state of fragility. Caritas continues to closely monitor the humanitarian situation across Syria, including in areas where we are not currently operating directly. One such region is the southern province of Al-Suwayda, where both the security and humanitarian conditions have deteriorated significantly in recent weeks.

Caritas Czech Republic supports hygiene education and sanitation improvements in Moldavian rural schools

In Moldova, outdated infrastructure and limited access to safe drinking water present a major challenge for many rural communities, especially in schools. Many educational institutions rely on wells or old plumbing systems that do not meet national safety standards, exposing children to health risks on a daily basis. To address this issue, Caritas Czech Republic, with financial support from the European Union, is conducting an initiative aimed at modernising sanitation facilities in schools and raising awareness about hygiene among students, teachers, and parents.

How Caritas Czech Republic is bringing clean water to rural Moldovan schools

Access to clean drinking water is a fundamental human right, yet millions of people worldwide still lack it. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 2 billion people globally use contaminated water, leading to serious health risks. In low-income countries, including Moldova, many rural communities face significant challenges in accessing safe water. Schools, where children spend a significant portion of their day, are often the most affected. Caritas Czech Republic, with the financial help from European Union is addressing these issues by installing water filters in 15 schools in Moldova by 2026.
