Story

Did you know that despite there being enough food for everyone in the world, 783 million people still go to bed hungry every night? No one should have to struggle to provide food for their families. Together, we can change this.

By participating in the Dubai Marathon in support of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), you’re doing more than crossing a finish line: you are helping provide a lifeline for the people of Gaza, who need your generosity. Your steps symbolize resilience, solidarity, and hope for millions facing unimaginable hardships.

WFP is the world’s largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger, delivering life saving food assistance in emergencies and supporting communities as they rebuild their lives.

Run or Walk for Gaza

By taking part this year in this initiative, your efforts will directly support WFP’s Emergency Response in Gaza, one of the most critical humanitarian crises in the world today.

For families in Gaza, daily life is shaped by conflict, displacement, loss, and severe food insecurity. The destruction of infrastructure, limited access to food supplies, and restricted movement mean that parents often don’t know where their children’s next meal will come from.

WFP teams are on the ground every day, working to reach people with the food and nutrition support they urgently need.

What Your Support Makes Possible in Gaza

WFP Emergency Response Activities Include:

• Emergency food parcels for families who have lost access to markets and income.

• Nutritional support for children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers.

• Electronic cash vouchers where markets are still partially functioning.

• Preparation and distributions of hot meals, for families that have no access to cooking facilities

• Support bakeries to produce and distribute bread.

• Support for people who are most in need , including the elderly, people with disabilities, and women headed households

In Gaza, where needs remain extremely high, WFP assistance is often a vital source of food for families.
