Gaza crisis
Preparing to respond
We will respond to the immediate needs of older people affected by the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, as soon as it is possible.
We will ensure older people are referred to services provided and are included in other agencies' programmes.
We are also recruiting volunteers to distribute, when possible, hygiene kits containing soap, toilet paper, toothbrushes and toothpaste.

Working with older people: Practical guidelines
Do you work with older people in the developing world? Need practical information on how to tailor programmes to older people's needs?
We have new practical guidelines for programme managers and people working with older people, drawing on experience in the HelpAge network.
Please use the guidelines for your own work, training or as a basis for producing more detailed, locally relevant materials.
The guidelines cover topics including emergencies, HIV and AIDS, rights and advocacy and health and care.
