Story

We will be responding to the current emergency in Gaza, where hospitals are struggling to cope with an influx of serious injuries. The already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening, as already struggling civilians in one of the most densely populated places on Earth, once more face the horror of major airstrikes. Power plants have run out of fuel which means Gaza is without electricity making it even more difficult to respond to those who need us the most.

After a needs assessment, we realised that the greatest need in Gaza is to support the hospitals with supplies. The Palestinian Minister of Health said that hospitals in Gaza are “working beyond their capacity to treat the wounded as a result of the occupation’s aggression, and as a result the hospitals in the Strip are out of service”. We will work closely alongside our partners on the ground to supply to prepare our humanitarian response and support as many hospitals as possible.

Salam Charity is working with a partner called Medical Aid for Paletinians (MAP). Palestine have a Central Drug Store (CDS) that provide medicine and medical supplies to all the hospitals in Gaza and West bank.

Major relief agencies like WHO provide the medicine to the CDS, and MAP are one of the biggest suppliers of the CDS.

MAP have depleted all their warehouses and your donations are urgently restocking the warehouse so that the CDS can continue providing the medicine.

Salam Charity was founded in 2011 with the aim to help fight poverty and transform lives. Every night over 800 million people go hungry and nearly 6 million children die each year from preventable diseases. Salam Charity aims to tackle this by providing lifesaving meals, clean water, sanitation, clothing and education. This will allow everyone to realise their birthright of living a happy life by developing their full potential. Salam Charity works in many countries around the world with a particular emphasis on the Rohingya emergency crisis. Salam Charity has a five year strategic plan which will focus on bringing a positive and lasting change in the lives of those affected by poverty. Our aim is to empower people for them to be in charge of their own destinies. We endeavour to support households, local communities and national institutions to develop longer term collective approaches to reinforce their capacities to better respond to, mitigate and prevent humanitarian emergencies and hunger crises. Supported by global celebrities, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and social media influencers, We have one important mission: to save and change lives for the better. We will do what it takes to bring humanity closer to a world free from hunger and poverty.
