Palestine Emergency

Brutal attacks in the Gaza Strip have killed 14,000 and injured more than 35,000. Over one million residents of Gaza have been forced to flee their homes.  This is a worrying escalation in violence which will only result in the loss of lives and destruction of livelihood. 

The world’s largest open-air prison

Many Palestinians and humanitarian organisations continue to describe Gaza as the world’s largest open-air prison, a rigidly controlled strip of land with little opportunity for escape or growth.

One third of Palestinians live below the poverty line, and after more than 15 years of blockade and violence the 2 million residents of Gaza have been plunged into abject poverty. 80% of the population rely on aid to simply survive. With food, medication, water and electricity supplies at an all-time low.

We are on the ground in Palestine

As the crisis in Gaza continues, we’re on the ground ensuring as much emergency aid can get to civilians as possible. Despite constant bombardment, we have been able to provide food, water, and medicine to those in besieged Gaza. Read More. 

Muslim Aid has been helping to serve the most vulnerable for years. We have supported Palestine with vital and lifesaving emergency aid, provided access to healthcare, offered livelihood opportunities, as well as building sustainable projects like the Gaza water desalination units. Our Palestine appeal continues to be a lifeline for the huge number of vulnerable people.

We’ve also responded to the attacks on Masjid Al Aqsa by providing funds to restore and repair damage caused to the sanctuary, distributing Zakat and supporting educational and recreational activities within the complex.
