*****Support struggling families in Palestine with your Zakat*****
A group of 6 friends (Afzal, Farhan, Usman, Anis, Ashraf & Yusuf) have arranged to hike up Scaffell Pike (England's highest mountain) in the Lake District to fund raise for Palestine. This hike will take place on Saturday 19th June 2021 Please donate what you can.
£50 will provide one family with a month’s worth of essentials such as food and medicine. 1,700 families in dire need, including widows, orphans and the disabled, rely on this Zakat to meet their needs each month.

The recent violent escalation in Gaza has caused devastation on a scale not seen since 2014. At least 243 people, including more than 100 women and children, were killed in Gaza and many more people have been wounded. [BBC]
Decades of instability and conflict have already left families on the Gaza strip and the West Bank unable to enjoy the most basic of human rights such as access to food, water and medical treatment. 60% of Gazans suffer from food insecurity and half of its children are dependent on humanitarian assistance. There is also a critical shortage of medical supplies in Gaza.

We are currently providing food and emergency medical care to families in Gaza to help them cope with the devastating crisis which began in the last days of Ramadan.
Don’t leave the people of Gaza alone in their of need. Our partner is on the ground right now providing vital relief, but we need your help to reach more vulnerable families. Give now to alleviate the suffering of Allah’s best servants.
