Airlifting Emergency Food for Families in Gaza
On July 26, Samaritan’s Purse airlifted over 48 tonnes of ready-to-use, supplemental food supplies aboard its DC-8 and 757 cargo aircraft to help suffering families in Gaza. The flights arrived in Israel yesterday. The life-saving, nutrient-dense food packets will soon be transported into Gaza for distribution by trusted partners. This latest deployment is part of the larger Samaritan’s Purse response to ongoing conflicts across the Middle East.
“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.”
Give Relief Now
Samaritan’s Purse sent over 48 tonnes of emergency relief to the Middle East this past weekend.
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 organisation 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 armoured units, are replacing those destroyed in attacks by Hamas and expanding the agency’s emergency response capacity.

Samaritan’s Purse is preparing to send additional relief flights into the region later this week, loaded with more ready-to-use supplemental food supplies.
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.
