GAZA, PALESTINE, January 16, 2021 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently delivered winter aid to 120 families suffering from poverty in the Gaza Strip.

Families were identified to receive the aid based on their level of need and number of dependents. Priority was given to women-headed households or those with ill, disabled or special needs members. Each family was provided a winter kit that included a space heater, blankets, winter coats, hats, gloves, socks and shoes.

The aid comes at a particularly difficult time for Gazans who live in destroyed and dilapidated areas of Gaza, according to Elizabeth Sohail, program manager at Baitulmaal.

“Winter is already a dreaded time of year for many Palestinians,” Sohail said. “We are working to ensure that the most vulnerable families are warm and dry as they try to survive winter during a global pandemic.”

The Gaza Strip is commonly referred to as the world’s largest open air prison by humanitarian observers. A restrictive travel ban, crippling economic blockade and continued conflict have propelled the poverty rate in Gaza to 56 percent according to the UN, with COVID-19 worsening an already dire situation. Two million Gazans have limited access to basic needs such as food, clean water, electricity and healthcare, and over 1 million now live under the poverty line.

Baitulmaal provides food, water, medicine and winter aid to people in Palestine. If you would like to learn more or contribute to the emergency aid programs at Baitulmaal, please visit their website at Baitulmaal.org.

KARACHI, PAKISTAN, January 7, 2021 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently completed the construction of 10 new hand-pump wells now providing water to approximately 2,200 individuals in villages in rural Pakistan around four to five hours drive from Karachi.

Each well was funded by a generous Baitulmaal donor. Below is a list of villages and each corresponding dedication as well as the number of villagers who now have access to safe, clean water.

  • Hashim Larani, in honor of Alhaj Omar Hussein Alzaben, accessible to 140 villagers.
  • Achar Shoro, in honor of Hassan Khalil Tarifi and Talee3a Khalil Tarifi, accessible to 192 villagers.
  • Nehar Mallah, in honor of Ibtehal Ass, Waseem Yousef Tarifi and Rasheed Awad Tarifi, accessible to 289 villagers.
  • Soomar Parheri, in honor of Khalil Meqdad, Jannah Abdallah and Yusra Abu Alhawa, accessible to 170 villagers.
  • Muhammad Parheri, in honor of Nayef Qasem, Abdel Baset Taha, Awni Karmi, Atef Taha and Yousef Abdallah, accessible to 174 villagers.
  • Sawan Tharani, in honor of Jihad Shehadeh, accessible to 139 villagers.
  • Khan Tharani, in honor of Jannah Abdallah, Khalil Miqdad and Yusra Mustafa, accessible to 140 villagers.
  • Muhammad Siddique Mallah, in honor of Shahid Kemal Pasha and Azra Shahid Pasha, accessible to 600 villagers.
  • Muhammad Siddique Malkani, in honor of Ar-Razzaq and Al-Mughni, accessible to 203 villagers.
  • Soomar Jat, in honor of Saadat Khan, accessible to 154 villagers.

According to the World Bank, access to improved water sources in Pakistan has been on the decline in recent years. This has been compounded by a historic monsoon season last year, which flooded the region and drove people from their homes in search of dry land and clean drinking water. Worldwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 780 million people lack access to clean water.

Funding improved water sources can help reverse the trend, according to Elizabeth Sohail, programs manager at Baitulmaal.

“These 10 wells will provide clean drinking water for more than 2 million meals every year,” said Sohail. “Our donors are playing an essential role in pushing back against contaminated water and the waterborne illnesses it causes.”

Donors who are interested in water access projects or in dedicating a well to honor a loved one can visit Baitulmaal.org to learn more.

IBB, YEMEN, January 5, 2021 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently completed an emergency winter aid delivery to 600 internally displaced Yemenis suffering from poverty, malnutrition and disease.

Food baskets containing a month’s supply of meals were provided to 100 families who lost their shelters due to displacement in recent months. Recipients include families with edlerly, special needs, disabled, ill, pregnant or breastfeeding members. Four hundred blankets were also distributed to vulnerable families in addition to 100 hygiene kits and winter essentials.

The critical aid is in response to the deteriorating situation in Yemen, according to Elizabeth Sohail, programs manager at Baitulmaal.

“Malnutrition is worsening,” Sohail said. “COVID-19 has driven even more Yemenis from their homes, leaving them in danger from hunger and the cold unless we act quickly.”

According to the UN, one in five children are severely malnourished, and 80 percent of the population is in need of humanitarian assistance. Nearly six years of conflict has displaced an estimated 4 million Yemenis, and the International Organization for Migration reports that 100,000 people were displaced in 2020 due to continued political unrest, insecurity and COVID-19.

Since 2018, Baitulmaal has sent over $5.6 million in aid that provided meals, antibiotics, medical supplies and hygiene kits to Yemen. If you would like to learn more or contribute to the emergency aid programs at Baitulmaal, please visit their website at Baitulmaal.org.

COX’S BAZAR, BANGLADESH, December 28, 2020 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently completed an emergency winter aid delivery for 500 Rohingya refugees who fled the genocide in Myanmar.

Field workers distributed 100 winter kits and 100 food packages to families struggling with hunger and cold conditions inside camps in Cox’s Bazar along the southeastern border of Bangladesh. Families with vulnerable members such as those who are chronically ill, disabled, elderly, breastfeeding or pregnant received the urgent intervention.

Three years of violence against the Rohingya in Rakhine State, Myanmar, has resulted in over 860,000 refugees fleeing into nearby Bangladesh. Living in 34 overcrowded camps in Cox’s Bazar, the Rohingya have suffered from recent flooding and COVID-19 outbreaks. Such worsening conditions have severely impacted access to food, water and health services. 

Baitulmaal delivered winter aid to 930 Rohingya refugees earlier this year. Prior to that, the charity provided more than 590,000 meals and winter relief for over 15,000 Rohingya refugees as well as funding for shelters.

If you would like to learn more or to contribute to the emergency aid programs at Baitulmaal, please visit their website at Baitulmaal.org.

IDLIB, SYRIA, December 23, 2020 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently delivered 500 winter relief kits to children of internally displaced families in northern Syria.

The winter relief kits were distributed in the Nasaim Al-Khayr and Maryam camps of Maa’rat Masrin in the Idlib countryside. Five hundred recently displaced children were fitted with new shoes and winter clothes such as coats, gloves, hats and scarves.

Elizabeth Sohail, programs manager at Baitulmaal, said that many families in the camps had previously not received any humanitarian assistance. The winter kits are part of a larger effort to get critical aid to recently displaced families facing worsening hardships in Syria.

“While there are camps that are well established, the ongoing violence continues to displace Syrians from their homes,” said Sohail. “New makeshift camps means new needs for newly displaced families, and we must act quickly to help them survive.”

According to the UN, 6.7 million Syrians have been internally displaced in the course of a nearly decade-long conflict in the country, which accounts for the largest internally-displaced population in the world. A cold winter and COVID-19 are exacerbating an already dire situation where the country’s economy is declining and malnutrition is soaring. 

Last month, Baitulmaal distributed bread for 94,677 meals to families facing food insecurity in Syria. The charity also installed gas stove heaters in Syrian schools to provide warmth to 560 students, in addition to installing solar power systems in three schools that provide education to 2,285 students. 

Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world. With headquarters in Dallas, Texas, the charity has offices in: Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois; Detroit, Michigan; Nairobi, Kenya; Mogadishu, Somalia; Amman and Al Ramtha, Jordan; and Karachi, Pakistan.
