Asalamualikum, we are the Institute of Knowledge, and we wish we spoke from a different time. As you know, since October of 2023, chaos has erupted in Palestine and its inhabitants, particularly those in Gaza continue suffering numerous counts of human rights violations. Since then, the attacks have not backed down, and their suffering is broadcasted for the world to see. As you read this, at least 34,356 Palestinians, including more than 14,500 children and 8,400 women have been killed (Yaqeen Institute). Yet despite this, they are united in belief that Allah has something better for them planned. And we as Muslims cannot sit idle, watching our brothers and sisters walk everyday expecting to be blown into bits, watching emaciated children search for food as there is barely enough to survive, and watching people lose their parents, siblings, children, and spouses. Allah states in Surah Maidah Verse 32: “...Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.” It is our duty then, as part of the Ummah of our Prophet ﷺ, who would rather tie stones on his body than eat if it meant his companions had to starve, to aid the Muslims suffering in Gaza. But we can't do it without your generation donation to our cause. Even with a small amount of $1, you bring a smile across a Palestinian child's face. And if you can't donate, then even spreading the word of our cause to your family and friends is bound to make a difference. They need YOUR help! Donate and spread awareness so you can have shade on the Day of Resurrection [Sunan At-Tirmidhi 604]. Join us as we walk towards a future where every Palestinian adult and child alike can live to see another day. Walk with us, to a future where Palestine is free.

What Our Brothers and Sisters in Gaza Are Facing

The Crisis At Hand

In our hearts and faith, Gaza's story resonates with a profound and undeniable sense of urgency and love for our Muslim brothers and sisters. 

According to the latest data from the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the World Health Organization and the Palestinian government as of April 21, Israeli attacks have damaged:

  • More than half of Gaza’s homes have been destroyed or damaged
  • 80% of commercial facilities have been disabled
  • 90% of school buildings have been destroyed
  • 11 out of 35 hospitals are partially functioning
  • 83% of groundwater wells not operational
  • 267 places of worship are no more

Unfortunately the statistics don't end there. Islamic Relief USA has reported that over 35,000 people have been killed and more than 70,000 have been injured under the constant bombardment they are faced with. In Gaza specifically, 2 million civilians are cut off from access to food, electricity, and fuel (Islamic Relief USA).

What is even more terrifying is that these numbers are bound to increase with each passing day as the oppressors do not back down with their relentless attacks.

Islamic Relief USA Has Partnered with the Institute of Knowledge and SoCal MIST to Provide Aid to Gaza

Islamic Relief USA has been working tirelessly to provide the desperately needed aid to innocent Palestinians suffering constant human rights abuses and destruction in their homeland. Here's what they've committed to, ensuring Palestine gets the help it needs: 

  • Food aid
  • Access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene
  • Access to healthcare including psychosocial support and awareness for women and children 
  • Childhood development efforts including access to education and support for orphans and children with disabilities
  • Sustainable livelihood support including youth entrepreneurship and women empowerment efforts 
  • Emergency aid for families in Gaza including improved physical and mental wellbeing through shelter rehabilitation and psychosocial support
  • Winter assistance

Islamic Relief has been working in Palestine for over two decades. Not only do they work tirelessly on-site to provide immediate emergency relief, but their work in partnerships helps implement long-term programs that will help rebuild Palestine and bring hope to its people. They have partnered with the Institute of Knowledge to help raise funds that will eventually go to efforts to set up:

  • Food drives to help starving and displaced families
  • Hygiene kits to people in shelters
  • Provisions of vital medical supplies to the few hospitals still standing after the bombardment. 
  • Clothing drives for the harsh climates

With YOUR donations, they can do so much more.
