Story

This Ramadan across Yemen, Palestine, Lebanon and East-Africa, many men, women and children will suffer due to hunger. They need immediate aid right now so they can perform the noble duty of fasting.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) is reported to have said

“Whoever feeds a fasting person will earn the same reward as him without diminishing in any way the reward of the fasting person.”

Due to little or no access to food, millions will struggle to fast. Without adequate suhoor and iftaar meals, how can one expect to carry out the fourth pillar of Islam?

Mercy Relief are providing iftaar meals and food packs across many countries in need, where people are starving.

In Yemen, millions are malnourished, without access to nutritious meals, even outside of Ramadan. In Palestine, more than 2 million are living on less than $1 a day and are relying on support to satisfy their hunger. And in Lebanon, millions of Syrians face another Ramadan of pain, agony and hunger.

For a simple donation of £70 today, you can feed a family of up to seven people for all of Ramadan, earning the reward of fasting without even fasting. A simple £5 can provide one hot meal in Ramadan in countries such as Yemen where millions battle hunger daily.

“Whoever relieves a Muslim of a burden from the burdens of the world, Allah will relieve him of a burden from the burdens on the Day of Judgement. And whoever helps ease a difficulty in the world, Allah will grant him ease from a difficulty in the world and in the Hereafter.” [Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.]

Ramadan is a month of blessings, a month of worship and a month of happiness where many of us focus on bettering ourselves whilst spending time with our families.

For those who are suffering due to war, natural disasters and poverty, their focus is simply on food - what will they break their fast with? How will their children eat in the evening? Will there be enough food to be able to fast throughout Ramadan?

We’re here to answer these questions with our actions. Mercy Relief is dedicated to ending hunger through the delivery of vital humanitarian aid in the form of nutritious cooked hot meals and food packs which include all the necessary foodstuffs to allow families to cook and provide for themselves throughout this holy month.

Your support will allow us to feed hundreds of thousands of people and relieve their agonies of hunger.
