“The humanitarian crisis in Palestine’s Gaza Strip is escalating at a dramatic rate, with some 1.5 million residents cut-off from the outside world; deprived of even the most basic of human requirements due to border closures.Access to food, water, fuel, electricity and medical equipment is severely limited. Hospitals are dependent on generators, meaning that only life and death cases can be seen, and even those awaiting urgent operations are not allowed to leave.

Problems with sewage equipment have led to raw sewage being dumped into the sea and the lack of adequate sanitation is causing a massive health risk.

Hunger, fear, and lengthy power-cuts have become a daily occurrence for the people of Gaza and relief agencies are finding it increasingly difficult to reach those in need.

Islamic Relief Emergency Response

On January 16 2008 Islamic Relief (IR) Palestine began to respond to the worsening situation and started to provide Palestinian families with hygiene kits, kitchen sets, blankets, emergency gas lights, food parcels and water.

 

IR needs £5 million in order to continue to provide food and nutrition and health and shelter facilities in the areas most affected by the crisis. Urgent drugs and other medical items will be supplied to hospitals and primary health care clinics in coordination with the World Health Organisation (WHO).”

Your donation can help the people of Gaza survive this escalating humanitarian crisis.

It is very good job to do. But now that borders are closed even for UN supporters, how they help Gazans?

Thank you honey. InshaAllah it will be helpful, in Bosnia this appeal is launched in media and we are doing so much to activate people, to help. By now, it seems it will be successful inshaAllah.
Islamic Relief has its office there in Palestine, with Palestinian people as employees. So we are already in and already providing basic necessities for Gazans. Those are limited doses and with raising the funds we will be able to help more. Bi idhnillah.
