For almost 1 year, Palestinian families in Gaza have struggled to survive under relentless Israeli bombardment and siege.
Islamic Relief is calling on our supporters to help us provide much-needed humanitarian aid.
Since the unprecedented escalation began in early October 2023, the people of Gaza have been bombed, starved, and displaced.
Tightening its blockade of the enclave, Israel has caused severe shortages of food, water, medicine and fuel, leaving every sector in Gaza – from healthcare to sewage collection – unable to meet the ever-growing demands placed upon them.
Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war and Gaza is now on the verge of famine, with 1 in 10 young children acutely malnourished and people starving to death.
More than 90% of the population has become displaced, with many families forced to flee several times in search of safety, but there is nowhere safe to go.
More than 60% of Gaza’s residential buildings have been damaged or destroyed, hospitals and schools are being attacked and most areas are littered with unexploded ordnance.
The Gaza Health Ministry states that more than 41,000 people – mostly women and children – have been killed since last October, and over 94,000 more have been injured. The Israeli government says that around 1,200 people have been killed in Israel in that same time.
Islamic Relief is calling for an immediate ceasefire and an end to Israel’s siege. International law must be upheld and those found to have violated it must be held to account.
Unwavering commitment to support people in need
Our team and local partners in Gaza continue to deliver aid despite facing the same challenges as the communities we support.
Over the last year, we have distributed hot meals and desperately needed clean water to people in shelters. To help combat the spread of disease, we’ve set up portable toilets and provided hygiene kits to displaced people.
We have organised games and performances for children to help support their mental health and provide a momentary distraction from the horrors they’re enduring.
Prior to October 2023, Islamic Relief supported 8,750 orphans in Gaza through our Orphan Sponsorship Programme. Now, more than 16,400 children are receiving a monthly stipend.
With your support, Islamic Relief will remain a lifeline for Palestinian families.
