Provide safe drinking water to the people of Gaza

The 2021 attacks in Gaza destroyed large part of Gaza's infrastructure where water and sanitation systems were destroyed leaving residents without safe access to water. This Ramadan, Islamic Relief are dedicated to continue supporting Gazans to rebuild their water systems and to provide access and improve their quality of water.

The Situation is Unbearable

Water, sanitation and hygiene are amongst the top humanitarian priorities in the Gaza Strip as the water resources are under considerable stress and demands exceed supplies. With the 2021 attacks in Gaza, many people have been left displaced and access to water has become even more dire. Moreover, the spike in inflation means that prices of water has gone up, making it very expensive for Gazans to buy clean water.

The destruction of sewage systems also means that access to water has been more difficult. Water shortages across Gaza are putting livelihoods and the health of local communities, at risk. A lack of safe water can be especially deadly for children. In Gaza, due to power shortages, contaminated and high levels of salt in the water, over 90% of the water is unfit for human consumption, posing a huge health risk.

You can help rebuild access to safe water!

Through the decade long attacks and the ongoing pandemic, our teams have remained on the ground to help the people of Gaza. We provide hygiene kits, water tanks for drinking water and we also rehabilitate water facilities for affected families.

£150 can provide one household with a water tank and access to clean drinking water.
