Death toll rises to 230 including 65 children and 39 women, while 1,710 are wounded in Gaza, Palestine (Palestinian Ministry of Health-Gaza)

Gaza is in crisis. Hospitals are requiring urgent medical supplies as the death toll continues to rise. The escalation in violence could not have come at a worse time as the Gaza Strip is already grappling with a weak healthcare system and a lack of medical resources.

According to ReliefWeb, the North Gaza Seawater Desalination Plant has had to stop operations due to the risk to workers and a damaged supply line, affecting 250,000 people. The main electricity feeder to the region has also been damaged, affecting 65% of Gaza's water and sanitation facilities. In Gaza, there is an acute water crisis. Over 90% of households have a tap where clean water once flowed, but today the water is no longer safe to drink. Gaza needs regular safe and clean water supplies urgently not only for the domestic needs of families but to run the health facilities too. Please donate generously.

Over the years we have provided medical aid and equipment including a fully equipped ambulance to hospitals in Gaza, we continue to provide and distribute purified water safe for human consumption through water tankers as Prophet Muhammad (saw) was once asked, Which charity is best? and his reply was Providing water.
