GAZA, PALESTINE September 6, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently delivered emergency food, hygiene kits, household and bedding supplies to approximately 1,024 Palestinians impacted by the assault on Gaza earlier this summer.

In addition to non-perishable food packages that contained items such as rice, pasta and canned goods, 160 families received two cooked meals a day for three days as well as bags of fresh bread. They were also provided mattresses, blankets, pillows, bathroom and other basic supplies. According to Elizabeth Sohail, program manager at Baitulmaal, many families lost everything they had after missiles struck their homes.

“Children were playing in the streets one moment and lost everything in the next,” Sohail said. “It will take months to rebuild their lives, and providing them basic necessities can help alleviate their suffering as well as let them know they have our compassion.”

Between August 5 and 7, 2022, 49 Palestinians were killed by missile attacks on Gaza, including 17 children, according to the Gaza health ministry.  Hundreds of Palestinians were wounded and hundreds more were internally displaced. This attack was the largest since the May 2021 bombardment of Gaza that left more than 250 dead, including 66 children.

In addition to the threat of attacks, Gazans face routine power outages, limited water access, food insecurity and poverty due in large part to an ongoing blockade. According to the UN, more than 75 percent of Gazans rely on humanitarian aid.

Baitulmaal provides food, clothing, education support, seasonal giving, emergency aid and healthcare in Palestine. The charity also operates 400 water tanks in Gaza .

KARACHI, PAKISTAN August 26, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently delivered emergency food and water to 520 families impacted by severe flooding in Pakistan.

Families living in the hard-hit Sindh province as well as in Balochistan received emergency assistance. Clean water, cooked meals and food parcels containing items such as flour, rice and lentils were distributed to affected families.

Many families continue to be displaced from their homes due to the massive floods, according to Elizabeth Sohail, program manager at Baitulmaal, an international humanitarian nonprofit who has been responding to the floods since July.

“So many families are surrounded by knee-deep water,” Sohail said. “Our teams are making sure they are safe and have enough food and water to sustain them. But the flooding continues and many more families are in need.”

According to the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), more than 2.3 million people in Pakistan have been affected by heavy rains and flooding since mid-June. The death toll continues to rise, with at least 900 fatalities so far. Thousands of homes have been destroyed, crops have been flooded, livestock has perished and damage to roads have impacted services as well as aid efforts.

Baitulmaal is on the ground in Pakistan continuing to help affected families, with another phase of relief efforts underway. To contribute to emergency flood relief efforts, visit Baitulmaal.org.

DALLAS, TEXAS, March 9, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, is preparing to ship medical aid valued at $2 million USD to provide lifesaving humanitarian assistance to Ukrainian refugees fleeing the recent Russian invasion.

The shipment, which contains emergency medical equipment and triage supplies, will arrive in Moldova within the next two weeks, according to Baitulmaal program manager Elizabeth Sohail. Ensuring the health and safety of Ukrainian refugees is a matter of high concern for the charity as the situation continues to evolve.

“Many of these families scrambled to leave a frightening situation and urgently need medical assistance,” Sohail said. “Sending medical aid now will help provide lifesaving assistance before the situation gets worse.”

According to the UN, an estimated 1 million people fled Ukraine in the span of one week. Many have sought refuge in neighboring countries such as Poland, Hungary and Moldova. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has killed more than 400 people and injured over 800 so far, and the situation continues to deteriorate.

To help with emergency aid efforts for Ukrainian refugees, donors can contribute to the Baitulmaal Ukraine Emergency fund at https://birelief.org/help4ukraine.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN, January 10, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently distributed winter aid to more than 400 impoverished families in Afghanistan ahead of the winter season.

Food and non-food items such as blankets, clothing, shoes, firewood, charcoal and soap were distributed to approximately 3,200 displaced and poor Afghans in Kabul. A majority of the recipients were women and children. 

According to Elizabeth Sohail, program manager at Baitulmaal, these families have been impacted by the recent unrest in Afghanistan and are attempting to reintegrate into their communities amid the instability.

“Many families returned to their homes but are struggling to keep warm and buy food,” Sohail said. “Staples such as rice, cooking oil and firewood are blessings during these difficult times.”

A recent UN report estimates that 98 percent of the Afghan population will be living in poverty by the middle of 2022, up from a current poverty rate of 72 percent. Approximately 23 million Afghans are facing extreme levels of hunger, with nearly nine million at risk of famine this year.

In addition to providing food and other aid, Baitulmaal has been working with the Afghan-American-founded Education and Occupation Committee (EOC) to evacuate Afghans and implement economic development projects.

GAZA, PALESTINE, January 5, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently distributed winter aid to more than 1,000 impoverished Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip.

Two hundred families in the Khan Younis and Middle Governorates received heavy blankets, electric heaters and winter clothing to protect against frigid temperatures in the region. Many of the recipients are among the poorest families living in marginalized camp communities and include vulnerable members such as orphans and the elderly.

“We must do everything we can to keep these families warm this winter,” said Elizabeth Sohail, program manager at Baitulmaal. “They are already living in extreme hardship. Having these winter essentials is crucial to their health and safety. 

According to the UN, more than 75 percent of Gazans rely on humanitarian aid. Approximately 2 million Palestinians are food insecure, with more than 1.4 million residing in Gaza. With high unemployment and poor housing conditions, thousands of Gazan families face increased suffering during the winter months.

Baitulmaal provides food, clothing, education support, emergency aid and healthcare in Palestine. The charity also operates 300 water tanks in Gaza and is adding 100 more this year.
