Helping the victims of Gaza
Due to blockades placed on Gaza, Palestinians have no access to food, water, fuel or electricity. This blockade has also restricted the transit of essential emergency aid such as food, water and medicine. Prior to this escalation in conflict, 68 percent of Palestinians lived below the poverty line and had come to rely on humanitarian aid from organisations like Muslim Hands due to the severe restriction of essential goods into Gaza.
Alhamdulillah, we have been able to partner with UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which has been instrumental in providing lifesaving treatment and nutrition to the people of Gaza over the years.
Your donations will provide families in Gaza with:
· Food
· Water
· Medicine
Give now to alleviate suffering in Gaza.
