- With electricity supplies cut off, 2.3 million people, as well as the hospitals are relying on solar energy or fuel-powered generators which is also rapidly running out.

- With no food allowed in, no electricity to preserve the shelf life of food, and with bakeries also being targeted, there is a huge food shortage.

- Gaza's hospitals have almost completely run out of supplies. Doctors are now using store-bought vinegar to sterilise and treat wounds. They are having to operate without anaesthesia. They are washing and reusing sterile equipment and gloves. They have run out of beds and out of body bags, and are using ice cream trucks as morgues.

Islamic Relief's Efforts:

Islamic Relief has been delivering aid in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territory since 1997. With aid corridors into Gaza closed, the team on the ground has instead been working tirelessly to procure food and medical items from within Gaza and distribute them where they are most needed. They have also been stockpiling aid outside of Gaza so that as soon as aid is allowed in, they can respond quickly and effectively.

The situation in Gaza is terrifying, and heartbreaking to see.

The need is huge.

The people of Gaza are relying on all of our support to help save lives.

Please donate to this Emergency Appeal and help save lives in Gaza.

Thank you for supporting.
