1 million people in Gaza are on the brink of famine, and 2.2 million are facing acute malnutrition. The situation in Gaza means your Zakat is needed more than ever.
People are starving, so support for our Gaza Relief Appeal can be a lifeline for your brothers and sisters in distress.
Those who give to charity (their Zakat) night and day, secretly and publicly, receive their recompense from their Lord; they will have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
[Quran 2:274]
Currently, 1.5 million people are seeking shelter in Rafah, an area of only 25 square miles. In cramped, squalid conditions, they cower under the noise of relentless air strikes, mourning the loss of loved ones and traumatised by six months of brutal violence.
Aid blockades restrict the amount of food reaching them. Water and sanitation are near-nonexistent, and disease is spreading rapidly.
Every day, children starve to death whilst their parents look on, exhausted and helpless.
With no end in sight to their suffering, the people of Gaza are in desperate need.
Could provide flour for 1000 loaves of bread
Could provide a family cash survival grant
Could provide a truck of life (1,000 meals)
Could provide a pallet of baby formula (for 250 babies)
Zakat is a religious duty upon us but also an obligation we owe to people living in the most painful and terrifying conditions. It can relieve their hunger and give them the strength of knowing you are there in their hour of need. Your Zakat for Gaza today can save lives.
From cash grants for widows to bread factories providing food and livelihoods, to supporting orphans and providing water and shelter for the courageous people of Gaza, we’ve been on the ground for years, providing lifesaving aid.

The scale of the situation cannot be underestimated. More people are now dying every day in Gaza than in any other major 21st-century conflict. This is a human rights and humanitarian catastrophe.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has said, “Do not show lethargy or negligence in giving alms and charity till your last breath.” [Bukhari].
