GAZA, PALESTINE August 10, 2021 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently distributed fresh meat for 20,640 meals to families in the Gaza Strip during the Islamic holiday season of sacrifice known as Udhiyah.

GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, May 18, 2021 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently distributed food packages for 224,000 meals to residents of the besieged Gaza Strip as well as those living in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.

This first round of humanitarian aid included food packages and bottled water for Palestinian families impacted by violence in the region, as well as refills of water tanks located in the Gaza Strip. Five hundred families near Damascus Gate (Bab Al-Amood) and Sheikh Jarrah neighborhoods received food packages for 123,900 meals, and another 500 families in the Gaza Strip received food packages for 100,800 meals along with fresh bread and water.

Baitulmaal field workers are continually assessing the situation in Palestine and responding with ongoing emergency aid for those in need. Elizabeth Sohail, programs manager for Baitulmaal, said she anticipates the need for emergency humanitarian aid to grow with the escalation in violence.

“Entire families are being ejected from their homes while others watch as their homes are bombed or otherwise destroyed,” said Sohail. “With every lost home is lost food, water as well as income and stability — and they need help now.”

As of today, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 213 Palestinians have been killed — including 61 children — and over 1,400 injured by Israeli airstrikes that began during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Facing over a half-century of occupation, Palestinians have limited access to food, water, healthcare, electricity, or opportunities for education and employment, and over 80% of Gazans are in need of humanitarian assistance. The recent violence has left thousands homeless and vulnerable as the situation continues to be volatile.

The charity, which has been on the ground in Palestine since its inception, operates 300 water tanks in Gaza and funds healthcare at the Yazour Clinic for underprivileged families in the West Bank. In addition to food, water, winter relief, medication, and emergency humanitarian aid, Baitulmaal also sponsors Palestinian orphans in Lebanon and Jordan.

217,080 Meals Delivered to Families in Palestine

GAZA, PALESTINE, April 22, 2021 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently delivered food staples to provide 217,080 meals to impoverished families in Gaza and the West Bank, and more are currently being delivered to families struggling with hunger and food insecurity in other countries around the world.

Around 685 families suffering from extreme poverty were provided food packages so far. The food packages, which include items such as eggs, rice, pasta, cheese, oil and dates were distributed for the Ramadan season, a time marked by fasting, charity and worship.

Approximately 1.9 billion Muslims around the world observe the month of Ramadan, but many among them suffer from extreme poverty due to conflict, displacement, natural and man-made disasters, as well as other social, political and economic factors. According to the World Bank, this year saw an increase in poverty levels worldwide — the first rise in a generation of declining levels — due to the global pandemic, conflict, and climate change.

In the Gaza Strip, 1 in 3 people cannot afford nutritious food, and 80% rely on humanitarian aid, according to the UN. Beyond food insecurity, Gazans have been facing an alarming rise of coronavirus cases in the weeks leading up to Ramadan, as well as military airstrikes in the past few days, which have largely prevented families from accessing basic needs. The World Bank also warned that poverty rates will double in the West Bank due to the coronavirus pandemic and economic decline.

Baitulmaal provides food, water, medicine, healthcare and other aid to people in Palestine, and plans to deliver 3.9M meals during the 2021 Ramadan season to those in need around the world. The charity also collects and distributes zakat funds on behalf of their donors.
