How is Islamic Relief delivering aid across Gaza?
Islamic Relief has been on the ground, operating in Palestine since 1997. Our staff in Gaza are using your donations to locally procure food, hygiene supplies, bedding, and any other essential item we can source. They screen and contract local suppliers and partners, who procure either locally or through private trading routes.
Islamic Relief has successfully facilitated aid trucks entering Gaza through various border crossings, which has helped to alleviate some of the pressure on the ground. We have implemented thorough risk assessments, established communication with stakeholders, and devised contingency plans to address unexpected issues promptly.
Working alongside local partners and the World Food Programme, we are presently active in the Middle Area including Deir Al Balah, Zawayda, and Al Nusairat, as well Khan Younis, Rafah, and North Gaza.
From October 7 to July 3, 2024, our team has so far distributed:
- 2.2 million medical supply items
- 25 million ready-to-eat meals
- 14,520 food packs
- 4,245 food vouchers
- Fresh produce to 222,371 households
- 35,037 blankets and mattresses
- 7.8 million people received clean water
- 60,738 hygiene kits + items to 434 shelters
