Our Palestinian sisters and brothers are in need of your immediate support. Violence is escalating from Jerusalem to Gaza. Hundreds have been injured, and there are reports that 20 people in Gaza have been killed, including nine children.
“IRUSA strongly condemns the ongoing violence, aggression, and intimidation tactics used against thousands of Palestinian civilians, especially during this holy month of Ramadan,” says IRUSA CEO Sharif Aly. “In the midst of a global pandemic, any kind of aggression shocks the conscience and defies international humanitarian standards by further exposing Palestinians, already struggling with limited access to healthcare, to the deadly COVID-19 virus. We call for an immediate end to all violence and for respect of the freedom of worship guaranteed to all people under international law. We stand ready to assist Palestinians affected by this particularly cruel use of force.”
Feel their pain, and please act! We are calling on you to help us increase our aid for Palestinians in need as the situation is getting progressively worse.
Islamic Relief started working in Palestine in 1994 and soon after, Islamic Relief Palestine opened its office in 1998 so long-term development projects could be implemented and overseen by people in the field.
For decades, our legacy in the country has grown to help hundreds of thousands of people every year with programs that provide livelihood support for farmers, help vulnerable children, and more. With your continued support, IRUSA can provide more relief for people in need.
