We all know too well the ongoing struggles faced by families in Gaza, Palestine. The conflict has led to poverty, displacement and lack of access to necessities like food and shelter. Whenever you think the situation is becoming normal, it escalates to another extreme level, taking the struggles of the innocent to the level where they struggle for even one meal a day.
It is important to remember that the conflict in the region has been ongoing for decades, and families have been living under challenging conditions for a very long time. Many have lost their homes, their land and their livelihoods. Children are growing up without access to education and the most basic healthcare.
As an Islamic Charity, we are committed to supporting the people of Palestine, every month we provide food packs, and financial aid through zakat to families under our care. This aid makes a huge difference to the lives of these families. The biggest reason for helping families through the Palestine Crisis Appeal is to provide lifesaving food for them. But this is just a small effort a lot more needs to be done to bring prosperity to Gaza and Palestine.
We urge you to help us make a difference in the lives of those struggling in Gaza, Palestine. Your donations will help us provide much-needed aid to those in need, and together, we can work towards a better future for all.
The ongoing conflict in Gaza, Palestine has led to widespread poverty and a lack of access to necessities like food, water, and shelter. The situation is dire, and here are just a few of the poverty statistics that highlight the need for humanitarian aid:
By donating to the Gaza Emergency Appeal, you can help provide life-saving food, water, shelter, and financial aid to those in need. Your support can make a real difference in the lives of families struggling to survive in this difficult situation.
If there is one conflict on earth everyone knows is the conflict between Palestine and Israel. Over the years this conflict has caused wars and the deaths of tens of thousands of people. Every time there is an increase in tensions between Palestine and Israel, it’s Palestinians who end up picking up the damage and their situation becomes worse than what it was before.
Tents and makeshift homes, for many Gazans this is the life. Gaza has almost zero economy because of the restrictions imposed by Israel, which prevent Gaza from freely trading with the outside world. Over 2.2 million people are prisoners in their own land. If the people of Gaza do not receive foreign aid from the outside world, deaths will continue to mount up.
Islamic Welfare Trust is proud to be known as Palestine Charity. We have volunteers on the ground in the heart of Gaza delivering life-saving aid. Throughout the year we distribute food with the help of the Gaza Food Appeal, Water with donations received from the Gaza Water Appeal and general donations received from the Gaza Emergency Appeal and Gaza Crisis Appeal. We know we are not the biggest Islamic charity in the UK and cannot support thousands of families but with your generous donations, we can make things easier for a few hundred families insha’Allah.
Each day, Palestinians are living with the fear of death and the humiliation of strip searches at the hands of Israeli forces. There are thousands of orphans and widows across Palestine. Over 1.8 million people are trapped inside Gaza. Business opportunities are scarce due to Israel’s stronghold in the area and blockade of the Gaza Strip. Most of the Palestinian trade is dependent on tourists from other countries.
Since 2010, the Islamic Welfare Trust has been helping the people of Palestine. Over the years, we’ve helped Palestinians with food, water and financial support through Zakat. The situation in Palestine is deteriorating with each passing year, Islamic Welfare Trust needs your continued support to provide relief regularly.
Over 2 million people are living in the confined space of a 360-square-kilometer strip of land. The high population density, the economic blockade (which restricts the movement of people and goods into and out of the territory), high levels of poverty and insufficient services make it exceptionally difficult for people to earn a living or access quality healthcare, water, and education.
Over 80% of the Gaza population is dependent on aid from the outside world. Lack of food, clean water, education, and health facilities have taken the area deeper into poverty. Gaza has the world’s highest unemployment rate at over 43%. Over 40% of its population lives on £1.30 a day. 2 million people have no or very limited access to clean water and adequate sanitation. Over the years tens of thousands of houses and buildings have been damaged or destroyed. The list can go on and on. In short, Gaza is a desperate place to live and without support from Islamic Charities like IWT, people will die of starvation and infectious diseases. Donate to Gaza Emergency Appeal now and help the people of Gaza.
Like any country, the future of Palestine relies on the future generation of children. At the moment the majority of the children are malnutrition due to lack of food. Poor hygiene and lack of clean drinking water are big barriers to children’s development. With your help, we can insha’Allah provide regular food packs for the poor & needy families and with our Gaza Water Appeal, we can provide clean water at their doorstep.
Donate a Food Pack, Sponsor a Water Tanker or Gift a Water Tank for storing clean water via Palestine Crisis Appeal. Let’s save Palestinian children from hunger, malnutrition and disease.
For people across the Palestinian Territories, life is incredibly challenging:
These are incredibly tough conditions for anyone to survive. Imagine how hard it must be for families living in these conditions. All this can be changed but unfortunately, some hearts have no mercy inside them. Let us all pray that Allah makes matters easy for Palestinians and makes this world a safer place for Muslims no matter where they are from. We ask Allah to bring peace and prosperity to Muslim lands, especially the holy land of Bait al-Maqdas.
Alhamdulillah, our name clearly gives the message. We are an Islamic Charity aiming to help the Ummah in need. This is how our donation policy works:
Unfortunately, recent human history has emphatically confirmed this reality. Since the turn of the century, we have seen disaster after disaster unfold, some natural but predominantly manmade. As a Muslim Humanitarian Charity, it’s crucial for us to have emergency funds readily available to respond swiftly to these disasters.
Whether it’s the Gaza Emergency Appeal, Yemen Emergency Appeal, Syrian Refugee Crisis, Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal, Afghanistan Emergency Appeal, Pakistan Floods Appeal, Rohingya Crisis Appeal, or Africa Drought Appeal, our ability to continue helping those affected by these conflicts, wars, and crises relies on your ongoing support. We urge you to donate your Sadaqah and Zakat to these appeals, aiding in the protection of lives throughout the year and in times of crisis.
However, if you are looking to build a Masjid as Sadaqah Jariyah for your loved ones, or if you wish to build a water pump, donate a food pack, sponsor a sewing machine, sponsor an orphan, sponsor a hafiz, sponsor a widow, or need to give Kaffarah for Breaking an Oath, consider our appeals. Donate to the Ramadan Food Appeal, the Ramadan Zakat Appeal, or simply donate your Zakat to assist the poor and needy around the world. Insha’Allah, donate with confidence for the sake of Allah.
