October 17, 2025 Update:
With a million people facing extreme hunger, Airlink is rapidly mobilizing its airline and logistics partners to get food and medical supplies to families and children in Gaza. Following an intense coordination and approval process, Airlink is facilitating the provision of “Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food” that will nourish an estimated 600,000+ people, with ongoing shipments planned over the next several months.
We are asking for your support of this critical, time-sensitive response. You can help us reach communities in need at this crucial moment.
Our humanitarian nonprofit partners are relying on us to deliver these critical supplies quickly and cost-effectively during the window of opportunity presented by the ceasefire.
There is an immediate and immense need for:
- High-nutrition food to combat the effects of famine
- Medical supplies, clinics, and medicines in the absence of operational hospitals
- Access to clean water to help prevent the spread of deadly waterborne disease
Give now to feed children and families who are without homes and access to meals.
July 31, 2025 Statement:
Over the course of nearly two years, throughout navigating changing variables and immense hurdles hindering aid delivery, Airlink’s humanitarian response in Gaza continues. We have provided logistics support to 28 international humanitarian organizations to date and this has been one of Airlink’s largest and most challenging responses in our 15-year history.
Airlink stands in solidarity with the humanitarian community seeking increased access to relief supplies like food, medicine, and shelter for Palestinians. As a community, we have so much work to do. Since 2021, Airlink has provided services in and around the region in partnership with key organizations. Despite the recent access challenges Airlink and its partners face, the mission of moving and prepositioning resources for vetted NGOs remains just as important as ever.
May 16, 2025 Statement:
This week, World Central Kitchen, a partner we work with in disaster response, announced they were halting services in Gaza, “not for lack of will, but because there is nothing left to cook.”
Airlink works with NGOs to position humanitarian supplies and aid to assist communities in crisis. Like in all of our responses we are committed to supporting, Airlink and our partners have resources positioned in warehouses nearby to Gaza ready for immediate deployment.
Sometimes, all of the preparation in logistics and readying resources and responders gets interrupted due to circumstances beyond our control. Airlink is working closely with partners to search for opportunities to deliver the aid and help Gaza. We hope for the border to open and allow much-needed food and medical supplies inside the region.
Airlink is Responding: Humanitarian Needs Across the Region
Airlink welcomes the ceasefire agreement reached in Gaza, temporarily ending the conflict and making way for humanitarian organizations to resume larger relief operations. Airlink joins the international community in hoping it leads to a greater resolution and an end to the conflict entirely.
To date, Airlink has delivered 450 tons of aid, helping hundreds of thousands of people. It’s core responses have supported Anera, Project C.U.R.E., World Emergency Relief, Partners for World Health, International Medical Corps, MedGlobal, United Palestinian Appeal, Global Empowerment Mission, and Shelters International Disaster Response in delivering primarily healthcare resources to establish field hospitals, nutritional food, beds and shelters, infant care items, and more. In 2024, Airlink established an airbridge with Heart to Heart International to distribute hundreds of pallets of materials needed to continue surgeries and healthcare. In the coming weeks, Airlink and partners are looking to usher in more humanitarian aid that has been held in Jordan and Egypt.
Humanitarian logistics can be costly for an organization, especially within a high-conflict zone. Airlink leverages generous offers of in-kind and discounted airlift from airline partners to access the region, using existing routes in order to transport cargo and responders on behalf of NGOs. Since October 2023, Airlink has assisted with 5-7 shipments a month, saving NGO partners upwards of $3.6 million. Airlink is committed to delivering another $1.5 million in shipment costs in 2025.
Airlink is mobilizing support and coordinating deliveries quickly, as urgency is of the utmost importance for the safety and wellbeing of those affected by the violence. In addition to the dire food insecurity, infectious disease and limited access to clean water threaten communities and need immediate mitigation. Airlink works with partners on-the-ground, to ensure a recipient is there to properly store and transport aid on the last mile to get the resources into hands of doctors and organizations in place to implement the life-saving materials.
Donors are encouraged to pledge here: Gaza Humanitarian Crisis.
Overcoming Barriers To Transporting Aid
Barriers to responding include limited airline capacity to critical airports halting specific routes due to safety. Airlink is collaborating with both international and regional air carrier partners, continuously evolving our concept of operations and assessing their capacity to operate at various airports. Every day Airlink helps our NGO partners overcome the world’s most challenging logistical barriers to delivering aid.
Airlink recognizes that the conflict is constantly evolving, as are the humanitarian needs in the region. These factors will continue to inform Airlink’s response.
