Provide Life-Saving Aid to Gaza

‘The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, ‘Adhere to Shaam, for it is Allah’s best land, to which He selects His best servants…’ [Abu Dawud]

Nearly a year of suffering, over 41,000 lives lost, more than 95,000 injured, and millions displaced. Gaza is experiencing a humanitarian crisis with no end in sight, and urgent emergency relief is needed.

Lack of food and access to water has resulted in acute malnutrition, particularly affecting pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children, who are the most vulnerable. Amidst this ongoing crisis, the destruction of hundreds of groundwater wells has plunged Gaza into an acute water crisis, with the average Gazan living on only three liters of water per day—far below the humanitarian standard of 15 liters.

As Gazans face famine-like conditions, diarrhea, a highly contagious skin disease, and respiratory illnesses are spreading rapidly, significantly impacting children and vulnerable populations. Not to mention, the threat of polio remains high.

The absence of proper sanitation and hygiene, a crumbling healthcare system, and cramped living quarters further exacerbate the dire situation. In addition to their daily struggles, survivors deal with losing loved ones, jeopardizing their mental health. We are working through our partners, the World Food Programme (WFP) and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to distribute food, water, and other necessities as part of our Gaza emergency aid efforts.

Our Gaza emergency relief funds are crucial for delivering life-saving aid to those in need, ensuring the people of Gaza receive the support necessary to survive this ongoing crisis.

Your generosity has allowed us to contribute $200,000 providing over 216,000 meals and life-saving aid including water, hygiene kits, and shelter. Donate to our Gaza Emergency Appeal and help support the ongoing Gaza emergency relief initiatives. Your donations can save lives.
