Help Me Support People in Palestine!

I'm reaching out on a special occasion - my 50th birthday, and I've got a unique idea this year. Instead of throwing a big party or asking for gifts, I want to make a difference espically with what is going on in teh world.

As many of you know, I work in marketing for a humanitarian organization, and it has given me a deeper understanding of the struggles faced by people in different parts of the world. Right now, I'm focusing on a cause that's very close to my heart - providing aid to those in need in Palestine.

The situation in Palestine is challenging, and there are countless families who require our support. From basic necessities like food and clean water to medical care and education, every little bit helps. That's why, on this milestone birthday, I'm asking for your support to make a positive impact.

Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will go a long way in making a difference in the lives of those who need it the most. Together, we can bring hope and relief to people who are facing difficult times.

I truly believe in the power of collective action, and with your help, we can achieve something meaningful. Let's celebrate me being around for half a century by giving back and making the world a better place.

If you can, please consider making a donation to support this cause. Every dollar counts, and your generosity will be a wonderful gift for my 50th birthday.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Your support means the world to me, and it will mean even more to those we help in Palestine.

Let's make this 50th birthday one to remember for all the right reasons.

Thank You, David

Deadly Escalation in Palestine

Violence has escalated after months of ongoing tension across the region. Over 32,000 people have been killed and thousands more have been injured or deemed missing. In Gaza specifically, a ‘total blockade’ is in place, completely cutting off the 2 million civilians from access to food, electricity, and fuel. 

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) says at least 1 of 4 households are facing catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity, the highest level of warning; the total number of housing units destroyed or damaged accounts for over 60% of all housing units in Gaza; and more than 90% of the population has been displaced with hundreds of thousands of people sleeping in the open with inadequate clothing to fight the cold. 

The attack on the health system has been particularly devastating. The World Health Organization (WHO) says 15 out of 36 of Gaza’s hospitals are partially functional, facing challenges with the shortage of medical staff and lack of essential medical supplies. They also shared that more people will die of disease if we’re not able to put the health system back together and provide people with the basics of life. 

While issues related to the delivery of humanitarian aid persist, IRUSA partners are continuing to work on the following interventions:

  • Distribution of food parcels sourced by local farmers in Gaza to displaced families 
  • Provision of hygiene kits to people in shelters
  • Provision of vital medical supplies to three hospitals including Hayfa Hospital, Al-Awda Hospital, and Al-Ahli Arab Hospital
  • Access to mobile clinics for 23,400 people in shelters
  • Immediate trauma response for 4,000-5,000 people 
  • Winter aid including blankets, mattresses, and winter clothing

Our partners are also continuing to work on the procurement and stockpiling of water, food and non-food items, and medical supplies, to be delivered once a pathway for humanitarian aid is established.

Islamic Relief’s Dedication to Palestine

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.

Not only do we provide immediate emergency relief, but we work with our partners to implement long-term development programs that will help rebuild Palestine and bring hope to its people.
