SUPPORT PALESTINE – PALESTINE EMERGENCY APPEAL
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu, I hope you are all doing well in'sha'allah. I have pledged to raise £1440 this year alongside other sisters to help sponsor 3 orphans in Gaza, a deprived area in Palestine.
The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated places on Earth. It has a population of approximately 2.1 million people and since 2007 it has been under a land, sea and air blockade imposed by Israel.
Years of conflict and the blockade have left 80% of the population dependent on humanitarian assistance to survive. Access to clean water is not possible for 95% of the population, and there is an ongoing power shortage which impacts upon essential services like health, water and sanitation. Almost half of Gaza’s people do not have enough food, around 60% of children are anaemic and many children suffer from stunted growth due to malnutrition.
Why Palestine needs our help today
The situation in Palestine is unbearable for many. Gaza has been described as an “open-air prison” and the conditions were dire even before the recent escalations in conflict, with occupation, blockade and recurring conflict causing deep poverty and suffering. Islamic Relief has been working in Palestine since 1997, and your Palestine charity donations can help deliver vital humanitarian and development assistance. Donate to Palestine and help save lives.
