The people of Gaza have endured more than a year of intense suffering and relentless attacks. An astonishing 1.9 million people – 9 out of 10 people – have been displaced, often multiple times, from their homes and so-called safe zones since October 2023.

Since October 2023, we have provided over £39 million worth of aid and delivered over 66 million hot meals.

Islamic Relief is also partnering with the UN World Food Programme to bring emergency food supplies into Gaza.

Currently, we’re cooking hot meals daily for over 175,000 people who have fled their homes, are now living in overcrowded shelters, and are in desperate need of food. So far, with WFP we’ve cooked over 66 million ready-to-eat meals since the start of the escalation.

However, more aid needs to urgently be allowed into Gaza, as the UN reports Gaza is likely to enter famine imminently. 1.1 million people in Gaza are suffering severe hunger. Children are dying from starvation and most families are now going whole days without eating.
