Your Impact on the Ground
What are we doing in Gaza?
Muslim Hands is delivering life-saving humanitarian assistance in Gaza, focusing on food, clean water and healthcare. We are providing hot meals and food parcels, supplying flour to bakeries and individual families and delivering cash assistance to the most vulnerable so families can meet their basic needs with dignity. We are also responding to Gaza’s severe water crisis through clean water and desalination projects.
To support healthcare services, we are funding frontline medical staff and helping hospitals continue operating under extreme pressure. We are also providing emergency shelter and essential supplies to families who have been forced to flee their homes. Much of this work is carried out through trusted local partners and UN agencies, including the World Food Programme, to ensure aid reaches those in need despite severe access restrictions.
Muslim Hands has been working in Gaza since 2007, and our current response builds on this long-standing commitment. In extremely challenging conditions, we remain focused on meeting urgent humanitarian needs while upholding strict standards of accountability and transparency.
What your donations have achieved
Clean drinking water
With over 90% of Gaza’s water supply contaminated or cut off, we are prioritising access to clean water. This includes daily water tanker deliveries, and the distribution of safe water containers to families.
Health services
Gaza’s health system is collapsing, and hospitals are overwhelmed. We are funding the salaries of frontline medical workers — including doctors, nurses and midwives — to help keep emergency services running and ensure patients continue receiving care.
Cash grants for families with disabled children
Many families caring for disabled children are now displaced and in desperate need. We provide direct cash assistance, allowing them to purchase vital items with dignity and flexibility.
Winter relief and shelter supplies
As temperatures drop, families living in makeshift shelters face harsh winter conditions. We are supplying warm clothing, blankets and winter kits — including essentials for over 20,000 children — alongside shelter support for displaced families.
