One year of relentless bombings, starvation, displacement, and trauma. Families in Gaza have endured an entire year of brutal violence, without time or safety to process the trauma of the killings, loss of homes and loved ones.
While we continue our essential emergency projects – providing nutritious food, clean water, and medical care to families, we’re also expanding our work to supporting communities for a more hopeful future though education, waste management, and broader healthcare.
£300 - Provide one child with education for one semester through our mobile schools.
£96 – Provide clean drinking water to 20 people for an entire month.
£90 – Ensure nourishing meals for a family with a month-long food parcel. Donate and we’ll DOUBLE YOUR DONATION, doubling the meals and your rewards.
£36 – Provide five people in Jabalia refugee camp with treatment and medication at our health centre.
£35 per month / £420 per year – Sponsor an orphan. 19,000 Palestinian children have been orphaned and are in urgent need of care and protection.
£35 – Give 5 hot meat-based meals to people facing starvation in Gaza and we’ll DOUBLE YOUR DONATION with 5 more.

After a year of conflict, over 42,000 Palestinians have been killed – including more than 16,000 children. More than 97,000 people have been wounded, and at least 10,000 are thought to be buried under rubble. Over the past year, many have been killed by secondary causes, such as sicknesses that went untreated because of the attacks. One in five people in Gaza is facing starvation.
Giving hope amid destruction
It’s impossible to overstate the utter destruction that’s still going on in Gaza. Each day more people are dismembered, more children made orphans, more families forced to flee once again.
But after a year of devastation, much more is needed than simply food and water. While we continue to help families to meet their basic needs with nutritious meals and consistent clean water, we also ask that our supporters help us to provide hope for the future.
We’re launching three new projects to improve living conditions, support education, and spread hope.
Education
Our eight mobile schools project will help children to regain their lost education, have a sense of normality and to make friends. Primary school-aged boys and girls will have access to English Arabic, Maths and Science classes, as well as a psychotherapist to provide counselling, and psychosocial activities to allow them to play and simply be children.
Healthcare and disease
Our health centre in northern Gaza to support around 3,750 people each month, with 10 outpatient clinics. Only 11 out of Gaza’s 36 hospitals are functioning in any capacity and the few hospitals left standing are struggling to treat patients without enough medicine, anaesthesia, doctors, or equipment.
We’ll also be launching a telehealth project which will provide phone consultations to allow sick people to have easy access to specialist doctors, while reducing the load on overstretched health staff in Gaza. Our mental health project will help people to cope with the ongoing trauma they’re experiencing, and our new health centre will support 4,000 people per month.
We’ll also be launching a flagship hospital construction project, supporting Gaza’s destroyed healthcare system while giving doctors a place to treat injured and sick people.
Since the sewage system has been decimated, we’re also working to begin a solid waste management project, helping to reduce the risk of disease and sickness, and helping communities to stay clean.
While we continue to advocate for a ceasefire, and pray for the war to end immediately, we’re also launching a reconstruction Amanah fund, where you can pledge your support to Gaza’s reconstruction. When the war ends, with your help, we’ll be able to immediately jump into gear to rebuild the damage and help families to begin to recover.
Help us to provide the foundations for a better future in Gaza. Support our projects of hope today.
Your impact since October 9
Since October 9, you’ve helped us to support over 6,105,277 people in Gaza - that’s higher than the population of Gaza because we’ve helped so many people many times over.
With over 32 years of experience in Gaza, we have the expertise and determination to navigate through barriers, source supplies locally, and deliver critical aid to those in need. Even as the war on Gaza continues, our heroic staff in Gaza is able to run incredible projects.
During Ramadan, we helped over 700,000 people, and we delivered your Qurbani to almost 17,000 people, despite the siege and closed borders. Over the past year, we’ve begun the process of sponsoring 4,000 new orphans in Gaza, and we’ve delivered hot meals to over 2 million people.
