Islamic Relief has been on the ground, operating in Palestine since 1997. We have offices with staff and volunteers who regularly stockpile supplies as part of our Disaster Preparedness Plan to be able to immediately respond in the event of an emergency.

Our team and partners are currently distributing these limited supplies while they await approval for the entry of aid into Gaza.

A total siege is preventing food, medicine, fuel or any new vital supplies from entering Gaza. Operations at the Rafah crossing, the only entry point not controlled by Israel, have been temporarily disrupted.

Damage to water and sanitation facilities from Israeli airstrikes has undermined the provision of water, sanitation, and hygiene services to over 400,000 people.
