Since October 7, more children have been reported killed in Israel’s attacks on Gaza than in four years of conflict worldwide.

The situation in Gaza is heartbreaking, with families facing unimaginable losses.

Children are bearing the brunt of the violence, leaving behind a void that can never be filled.

Since October 7, the bombardments have claimed the lives of more than 38,794 people and injured almost 90,000.

Tragically, 70% of the injured have been women and children.

The limited medical equipment is nearly depleted, leaving healthcare workers with minimal resources to properly treat injured children. Their suffering is compounded by constant fear and instability, taking a severe toll on their mental health and well-being.

For the people of Gaza, survival itself has become a daily struggle. They have lost their homes, their loved ones, and their sense of security.

They continue enduring IMMENSE pain and suffering.

Those who survived the attacks are now dying from starvation. Israel has blocked all food and water from entering Gaza. Our brothers and sisters are facing CATASTROPHIC hunger.

Imagine being so helpless that you have to resort to making soup from GRASS just to stave off hunger.

But children bear the brunt of the impact.

Innocent and full of dreams, they have had their childhoods stolen by the unimaginable horrors they witness EACH day.

Hunger is challenging enough for adults, now think about what these little ones endure.

Ministry of Education and Higher Education: 9,241 students have been martyred and 15,182 injured since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza and the West Bank on October 7.

Apart from the psychological trauma the students in Gaza are not receiving any food or nutrition which is causing illnesses to develop amongst those who were healthy.

They are becoming SEVERELY malnourished and dehydrated after not having a full meal in days!

They are struggling against the constant pangs of hunger and the agonizing grumble of empty stomachs while studying, knowing very well there is no meal to come.

As the hunger grows many of them are becoming EXTREMELY emaciated lying in hospital beds, reduced to skin and bones.

Picture the anguish felt by parents as they witness their children wasting away from hunger right in front of them.

Malnourishment can also stunt their physical growth in the long term.

Children require a greater amount of energy to develop their brains compared to adults. When they lack essential nutrients, it can hinder their learning abilities in the future.

If we don’t help them now, the children in Gaza will bear the lasting effects of starvation as they grow older!!

Hope Foundation is a charity originally from Gaza and has been on the ground long before the war!

Our kitchens and warehouses are working around the clock running on the generosity of your donations!

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said

“The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity.” (Al-Tirmidhi)

With your support we can provide meals and help feed the children in Gaza.

Every contribution can provide essential sustenance to these little ones.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said

“The believers in their mutual mercy, love, and compassion are like a single body, when one limb is in pain the rest of the body joins in insomnia, fever, and restlessness” (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 6011)

We cannot see our children hungry. How can we ignore the hunger of the children of Palestine knowing what they are going through?

Allah says in the Quran:

“And whoever saves a life it is as though he had saved the lives of all mankind” (5:32)

Your $5 donation can feed a child in Gaza and give an innocent little soul a chance at life.

It can bring back the light in their eyes, the smiles to their faces.

With your support, they can find solace in knowing that they are not alone. They are not forgotten.

Time is ticking and it is NOT on their side.

If we don’t act now, these children could end up succumbing to hunger and falling prey to diseases caused by malnutrition.

They are counting on YOU for their first meal in days. Your support ensures that their nights are not spent with empty bellies but with the warmth of a nourishing meal.

FAQ

1. How do you get aid into Gaza?

Aid is implemented and brought into the Gaza Strip in two ways: We have relationships with companies that have external accounts that provide us with raw materials inside the Gaza Strip, and we pay the costs to the company’s accounts abroad. We also sometimes, when necessary, borrow sums of money from some business partners inside the Gaza Strip, provided that the amount is paid after the war stops without interest.

2. Can I donate in my local currency?

You can donate with any currency in the world. Prices are displayed by default in USD, and the donation amount will switch to your currency (if supported) once you select your desired giving level.
