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 .

GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE July 29, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed fresh meat for 16,520 meals to impoverished families in Palestine as part of the Islamic season of Udhiyah earlier this month.

Approximately 2,800 families living in the Gaza Strip were given fresh meat from locally-sourced and humanely-slaughtered cows.

In many Muslim-majority countries, fresh meat is often procured through charitable gifts on occasions like the Udhiyah, a practice that commemorates Prophet Abraham’s sacrifice and takes place during the Hajj pilgrimage. This year, Baitulmaal distributed fresh meat for approximately 160,000 meals to beneficiaries in various poverty-stricken and conflict ridden areas of the world.

In addition to seasonal Islamic giving programs, Baitulmaal coordinates emergency aid efforts, water, hygiene and sanitation projects, orphan support programs and other humanitarian aid to under-served populations regardless of faith or nationality.

GAZA, PALESTINE May 5, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, delivered 625 food packages that provided 180,000 meals for 4,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during Ramadan.

Many of the families have more than five members and include widows, orphans, disabled and elderly persons, according to Baitulmaal program director Elizabeth Sohail.

“Despite their circumstances, the people of Gaza look forward to Ramadan with so much hope,” Sohail said. “The smile on their faces when they receive the food packages is priceless.”

GAZA, PALESTINE, January 18, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently completed the delivery and set-up of 100 water tanks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the total number of water tanks the charity operates in the area to 400.

Each tank provides access to free, clean water to approximately 50 individuals, or 7 families, throughout the year for an estimated 20,000 total beneficiaries.

The tanks are located in the following areas:

Middle governorate: (Al Brouk, Um Dhair, Al Maghazi camp, Al Sawarha, Al Zawiada, Wadi Al Salqa, Deir Al Balah camp, Al Buraij refugees, Al Nusierat camp, Joher Al Diek)
Khan Younis governorate: (Nahr Al Bared)
Rafah governorate: (the Swedish Village, Al Mawasi)

Tanks are refilled weekly, according to Baitulmaal program manager Elizabeth Sohail, and may be refilled more frequently depending on need.

“Without these tanks, many families have no other choice but to drink from polluted sources, putting their health at risk.” Sohail said. “Access to safe, potable water is a basic right, and these tanks deliver on that promise.”

Human rights experts recently warned that water in Gaza is “slowly poisoning” its residents. Water pollution is a leading cause of child mortality and accounts for a quarter of all illnesses in the area. Approximately 98% of groundwater is unfit to drink — often contaminated by sewage or seawater. According to the UN, only 10 percent of Gazans have access to safe drinking water.

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

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.
