YEAR OF PROJECT

LOCATION: GAZA

Islamic Relief (IR) has been providing humanitarian relief in Palestine since 1997. From the unprecedented escalation in October 2023 to March 2024, IR teams have been able to deliver £15 million worth of aid within Gaza. Charity Week pledged and supported this appeal with over £1.1million. To help demonstrate the wide scope and impact of your contribution, we have proportioned IR’s overall impact of £15 million to meet Charity Week’s £1.1 million. For the most up-to-date reports, please visit the Islamic Relief website.
Please note all statistics below are based on approximate estimates as of 5th April 2024, and are proportioned from IRs £15 million support to meet CWs £1.1m contribution

HOT MEALS AND FOOD PACKS

Gaza is on the brink of a man-made famine as a result of Israel’s ongoing siege of the Gaza Strip. Charity Week has been instrumental in providing 700,000 hot meals
In addition to this:
20,000 received food parcels
1,800 received food vouchers
78,000 received fresh vegetables
67,000 received ready-to-eat food
2,000 received nutritional supplements
Together with partners on the ground, including the UN World Food Programme, IR’s heroic team in Gaza have been working tirelessly to deliver hot meals, food packs and ready-to-eat foods to those in need in Gaza.

MEDICAL CARE

169,000 medical items distributed to support hospitals and health facilities.

The Gazan medical system has been crippled under the bombardment. Over 74,000 people in Gaza are currently wounded - many with life threatening injuries or diseases.

SUPPORTING ORPHANS AND CHILDREN IN NEED

Over 630 orphans have been supported as well as psycho-social support sessions for 5,200 children in Gaza.

17,000 children are reported to have been orphaned. Islamic Relief’s Orphan Sponsorship Programme allows families to withdraw funds to spend on what they most need.

WATER, SANITATION, AND HYGIENE

68,000 supplied with clean water
18 household hygiene kits
2,000 families provided essential items
19,300 families supplied with hygiene and dignity kits
