Save Palestine

Palestine Emergency: A third of the people in Palestine live below the poverty line.

The situation in Palestine is unbearable for many. Gaza has been described as an “open-air prison”. Conditions in Gaza were dire even before the recent escalations in conflict, with occupation, blockade and recurring conflict causing deep poverty and suffering.

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. Ongoing power shortages impact essential services like health, water and sanitation leaving people desperate.

Why donate to the Palestine emergency through Islamic Relief?

Islamic Relief began working in the Occupied Palestinian Territories in 1997, providing life-saving emergency aid and crucial nutritional, educational and psychosocial support to families in the region.

Our teams are providing emergency medical assistance, bedding, food vouchers and other essential aid to displaced families and those most in need. A donation of £100 can provide emergency medical operations.

Islamic Relief is calling for international aid to support rebuilding damaged infrastructure, strengthening health and electricity networks and providing psychosocial support.

How your donations are making a difference to the people of Palestine

Since we have begun working in Palestine, we have been able to:

• Supported around six million people.

• Delivered programmes worth almost £109 million.

• Repaired and restored over 1,500 homes in Gaza.

• Provided clean drinking water to over 1 million people in schools and health facilities.

• Supported over 300,000 children and sponsored over 15,000 orphans.

• Delivered Ramadan and Qurbani food to around 200,000 people a year.

• Helped over 2,000 families to earn a reliable living.

This is only possible with your ongoing support. Your generous donations are having a life-saving impact.

The young people of Palestine need your help

The blockade has sealed off Gaza from the rest of the world, crippling the economy and trapping residents – including a generation of young people who have no hope of prospects for development.

Fear and lack of hope for the future have become the norm among young people in Gaza. We call on all actors to ensure that the protection of Palestinian youth be made a primary consideration, and the reassertion of the principles of protection are derived from the International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and the International human rights law (IHRL). We call on all actors to ensure the need for safety and security for young people to cross borders to access livelihoods.
