Gaza under Siege & Your Zakat can Save Lives

 

As the sun rises over Gaza, it appears on streets that are full of dust, broken things, and death. The people of Gaza have already been through a lot in the past few years, and now they are facing a crisis like never before. There is constant violence, and homes are in ruins, hospitals are full of hurt people, and schools, which used to be safe places for children, are now being attacked. The whole world is watching, but the people who are stuck in this terrible situation are running out of time.

A Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza

According to the Al Jazeera News, displaced Palestinians who had found shelter in tents at Al Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al Balah in central Gaza were in for unbearable horror when an airstrike set the area on fire. Many people were burned alive as the fire rapidly destroyed their makeshift shelter, taking it from a safe place to be to a scene of destruction.

Ordinary people are suffering in the middle of chaos. In another violent attack, over 22 people were killed and 80 were injured when Israeli forces bombed a school shelter, going after families who had nowhere else to go for safety.

These are not just numbers; these are lives torn apart. This is how things are for more than 2.3 million people in Gaza, half of whom are children. They are under attack and cannot access food, clean water, or basic medical supplies. They are cut off from the rest of the world. It feels more and more hopeless every day as new tragedies and deaths happen.

Still, there is a hope to help provide relief in their worst hour. By means of Zakat, we can help our Muslim brother and sisters who have lost everything.

The Aftermaths of the Attacks

The latest bombings of a hospital and a school shelter put Gaza's terrible situation into grim perspective. Family members who went to these so-called "safe havens" were met with more violence, leaving them with nowhere to hide.

Explosions at the school, where families who had been forced to leave their homes had gathered for safety, were especially terrible. The stories of survivors are heartbreaking.

Patients who had been injured in earlier attacks were not saved in the bombing of the hospital tent camp. In that place, people who went there for medical care were killed, and the already overworked medical staff could only watch as things got worse.

After these attacks, it is clear that not a single place in Gaza is safe. Not schools, not hospitals, not even shelters. The people of Gaza have nowhere to go besides the horrible things that happen every day.

The Struggle for Survival Continues

It is getting harder and harder for the people of Gaza to stay alive every day. An ongoing blockade has made it very hard to get to basic things like clean water, food, and medical care, which makes the constant shelling even worse.

There is not enough food or medicine in hospitals, and the water is also contaminated. Children are the most at risk of being malnourished and getting sick. Families that had to leave their homes because of the bombings are now crammed into packed shelters that do not have toilets or clean water. They also do not have much hope for the future.

But there is a Hope!

Just think: one gift can help rebuild a house that has been destroyed, feed children who have not had a real meal in days or give valuable medical care to a hospital that is about to fall apart.
According to the numbers, the airstrikes have damaged more than 1,000 homes in just one day. Now, thousands of families don't have a place to live and are living in makeshift homes or outside. But with your Zakat donation, we can give them a roof over their heads again.

In Islam, Zakat is not just a form of charity; it is a duty, an obligation to help those who are suffering. By giving Zakat, you are standing with the people of Gaza in their time of greatest need.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said,

“The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity”

(Musnad Aḥmad 23490).

It is time to act now, to help now. Not doing anything while bombs go off and families are split up is not an option. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed us how important it is to help people who are in need.

When you donate Zakat, you are answering that call and help people who have lost everything.
Give today with Al Mustafa Welfare Trust where you can give to change the Palestinian’s lives. With the help of your Zakat, we can give them the access to basic needs that is important to survive.
