The Current Situation in Gaza and Hot Meal Distribution

The war and massacres continue in Gaza. Since October 7th, conditions have worsened with each passing day. The number of martyrs has exceeded 40,000, with thousands injured and missing. Israel has targeted all civilian areas, leaving no safe place for Palestinians to seek refuge. They bombed tents set up in areas designated as safe, burning people alive, and rained bombs on schools where displaced people had taken shelter. The attacks are still ongoing. 

The food and water crisis in the region has reached critical levels. Children are walking miles to find clean water, and if they manage to find it, they have to carry heavy water containers back to where they live. Access to basic necessities, especially food, has become extremely difficult due to the challenges faced by aid trucks trying to enter the region.

As Need Charity, we have been working from the very first day to support the people of Gaza through various campaigns, such as water distribution and hot meal distribution. With your donations, we reach out to families in the region, showing them that they are not alone, and ensuring they have a hot meal. We invite you to contribute to this good cause and make donations for ongoing needs like hot meals.

Access to Clean Water in Gaza is Becoming More Difficult

Gaza has been suffering from a severe water crisis due to prolonged conflicts and blockades over the years. Since the war that began on October 7, access to clean water has become increasingly difficult for hundreds of thousands of people living in Gaza. The limited availability of potable water sources and the destruction or contamination of existing sources have become life-threatening issues for the people of Gaza. Due to the water shortage, hygiene problems are escalating, and diseases are spreading.

Women and children have to walk several kilometers to water sources, wait in line to collect water, and then carry it back several kilometers every day.

Our Water Tank Campaign as Need Charity

As Need Charity, we are launching a water tank campaign to alleviate the water crisis in Gaza to some extent. Through this campaign, we aim to provide water to families and communities suffering from water shortages in Gaza. By installing water tanks, we will help our brothers and sisters in Gaza access clean water more easily.

Let us not forget that one of the best ways to show gratitude for the blessings Allah has given us is to share those blessings with others. By providing water to our brothers and sisters in Gaza, we can touch their lives and earn the pleasure of our Lord. Let us come together and support this campaign to meet the water needs of our brothers and sisters in Gaza and bring smiles to their faces.

Eid in Gaza

As Muslims around the world, we have spent a month of fasting, prayer, and reflection, we bid farewell to Ramadan with a mix of gratitude and nostalgia. Throughout the month, we tried to strengthen our connection with Allah. In the nights, we woke up to eat Suhoor, nourishing our bodies for the long day ahead. Throughout the day, we thought and appreciate the blessings that we often take for granted. In the evenings, we gathered in mosques for Taraweeh prayers, recite the Quran and attended dawah lessons.

In Ramadan, we always feel very generous. Most of us give charity constantly, to support the less fortunate, and extended a helping hand to those in need. Our hearts filled with compassion and empathy, engaging in acts of kindness and brotherhood. Each day passed with a growing hope, drawing us closer to the joyous celebration of Eid.

However, while we wait for the Eid, it was always impossible to ignore the heartbreaking reality that our brothers and sisters in Gaza have been experiencing for months. As we prepared for a joyous Eid, they were mourning. Their homes were reduced to rubble, their loved ones taken away by unfathomable violence. The echoes of bombs drowned out the sound of their prayers, and their joy was clouded by despair.

While we exchanged gifts and gathered with our families to feast on delicious meals, the people of Gaza sought refuge and solace in makeshift shelters, their minds filled with anguish and their hearts heavy with grief. The usual celebrations, the excitement, and the laughter that filled the air in previous Eids were replaced with mourning and sorrow.

As we raised our hands in prayer during the blessed time, we always remembered the people of Gaza. We always make dua to Allah (swt) to ease their suffering, to bring peace upon their lands, and to grant them the strength and resilience they need to rebuild their lives. May our hearts remain open, and our commitment to aiding those in need only grow stronger.

Bringing Warmth to Gaza: Blanket Distribution by Need Charity

In the midst of the ongoing conflict and harsh winter conditions in Gaza, Need Charity has been blessed with a beautiful step forward to provide essential warmth to those in need. As part of our humanitarian efforts, we have distributed blankets to individuals and families affected by the war and displacement.

Gaza has long been embroiled in conflict, facing the brunt of violence, displacement, and economic instability. The region has witnessed the devastations of g*nocide and the enduring consequences of prolonged t*rrorism. Amidst such turmoil, the arrival of winter exacerbates the challenges faced by the residents, particularly those living in tent camps and makeshift shelters.

Understanding the urgent need for warmth and comfort, Need Charity opened a blanket distribution campaign to provide relief to the people of Gaza. Blankets serve as a lifeline during the cold winter months, offering protection against the harsh weather conditions and helping to alleviate the suffering, although it is never enough.

With your generous support, as Need Charity, we were able to make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless individuals and families in Gaza. Your contributions have helped us provide the blankets and comfort to the families. Together, we are trying to cover up one of the difficulties they are facing.

As NEED Charity, we were able to distribute blankets and we couldn’t miss the chance. So, we acted as quick as possible and thanks to your support, alhamdulillah we were able to provide 100 blankets to families. And we will continue to support the people of Gaza as much as we can, as Allah (swt) allows us, until Palestine is free inshaAllah. May Allah allow us all to see the end of the t*rrorsit state and the freedom of Palestine 🇵🇸

What is the current situation in GAZA?

It’s been more than 2 months and Gaza is still under attack. Many building are destroyed by the t*rrorist isr*eli army and many people are k*lled. The t*rrorist isr*el never stopped k*lling people for even a few days during the cease fire. They violated the rules of the cease fire, as expected from them. People asked each other about what they think of this cease fire, would it be any good? Everybody said the conditions were for Gaza but you can never trust any Isr*eli and they were right. We didn’t trust any of the z*onists and they didn’t prove us wrong. They did what they do best, oppression.

Some captives were swapped. On the Hamas side, the Isr*eli captives were taken care of really well and they were contented, they had food, water, they could satisfy their needs whenever they needed. Even some old lady said, the Hamas Mujaheeds were so kind to her that they didn’t let her even clean the toilet she used, she said that they treated her like a mother.

On the Isr*eli side, the Palestinian captives were released like they were getting arrested. The Isr*eli t*rrorists assaulted them, shouted at them and they forbid the families from rejoicing. A Palestinian man said he was kept in cold for the first day with only his underwear with other tens of people. He said their eyes were blind-folded and they didn’t even know the person next to them, it was also raining. The reason behind all this is that the Isr*eli t*rrorists don’t see other people as human, and the secret reason is that they know this is a defeat for them.

At the end of the day, the war continues, the civillians are dy*ing including babies, children and women. 70-80% of the world is against all this genocide but nobody can do anything about it unfortunately, other than protests and marchings, which actually gives cheer up the Mujahedeen as far as we learnt. As we see them fight and we get happy that they can resist these t*rrorist isr*el’s army, they see us marching and protesting for them and they get happy to know that we are with them, they get encouraged.

And what NEED Charity does in these days? We are trying to help as fast as possible and we distribute hot meals as much as we can. We saw the videos of tens of people, trying to get food while thousand of trucks are waiting outside to go inside Gaza. Their situation is heart-breaking. What we need to do now is to make dua for them, and to shout their situation to everyone around us. If we stop talking about Gaza, then we all will be defeated. So, NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT GAZA!

GAZA IS BLEEDING, THEY TURN THE KNIFE!

Gaza, the bleeding wound of the Ummah. Now in occupation of t*rrorist Isr*el, everyday is like it’s borrowed from hell. Every morning we wake up to see another news of Isr*el’s brutal genocide attacks on Gaza, of which most of the population is kids. Every night, we go to bed upon seeing that this t*rrorist Isr*el army cuts of power and communication, then attacks Gaza with almost everything they have. None of the Muslims around the world can do anything about this, wallahi the day of judgement is very near.

As NEED Charity, we have distributed hot meals, food packs, medical supplies, water and more, however these were all gathered from the inside of Gaza as nobody can get through the borders. Shame on us, all we can do is to condemn, boycott and protest. Of course this is better than nothing, at least we show everyone that we are together with Gaza and we will not forget and forgive what is happening, but still not enough to save those people.

This t*rrorist state tells the civillian to go to so-called “safe” areas and k*lls them on the way. They commit the biggest war crimes, they bomb hospitals, schools, mosques, churches, anywhere that the people gather together even if it’s for food, water or basic materials. Eveybody knows it’s genocide and the most powerful governments of the world are now only hypocrites.

There are good things happening, as well. More and more people learn about the reality of Gaza and Islam. More and more people wants to read Quran and become Muslim, alhamdulillah. Many charities like us, NEED Charity, are gathering funds to support the people in Gaza and Gaza will be rebuilt after it becomes free, inshaAllah.

At the end of the day Allah is the greatest and the most merciful.

“…They planned, but Allah also planned. And Allah is the best of planners.” (8:30)

“Do not think ˹O Prophet˺ that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them until a Day when ˹their˺ eyes will stare in horror—rushing forth, heads raised, never blinking, hearts void.” (14:42,43)

We keep doing what we do, we boycott, we spread the news, we don’t forget or forgive what they are doing now, and we trust Allah will give their punishment, soon inshaAllah. We pray Allah (swt) to see their punishment in this world and as soon as possible. May Allah accept our efforts and give barakah to our works.

Gaza Under Blockade

Hamas launched an operation called Al-Aqsa Flood on October 6. Two days after the operation, Israel launched Operation Iron Sword. Gaza is being mercilessly bombed from the air and sea. According to Palestinian sources, more than 3,500 people have lost their lives and 12,500 have been injured. It was recorded that 1057 of the dead were children. As NEED Charity, we started an aid campaign for our brothers and sisters in Gaza from the first day of the Israeli attacks.

‘Largest Open Prison’-Gaza

Described as the world’s ‘Largest Open Prison’, Gaza is bordered by Israel to the north and east, Egypt to the south, and the Mediterranean to the east. More than 2 million people live in this region, which is 41 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide. Gaza has been trying to resist both Israel’s blockade and attacks for many years. Except for the Rafah Border Gate in the south, which opens to Egypt, most of the land entrances to the Gaza Strip are entirely in Israeli hands, including control of the airspace. In the sea, occupying Israel controls all areas except a small clearing.

Israeli Minister of Energy Yisrael Katz stated that after the electricity was restored, the flow of water in the water pipes from Israel to the Gaza Strip was stopped. The UN has announced that Israel’s cut off of electricity and water in Gaza could leave the power plant without fuel in a few days and cause drinking water shortage for more than 610 thousand people.

What we do for Gaza?

NEED Charity managed to deliver first aid in line with our Gaza emergency aid campaign that we started. In the first days, food parcels and cash aid were delivered to our brothers who were under heavy bombardment in Gaza. Then, in line with the investigations made by our team, we delivered medicines for patients and medical supplies for hospitals. Thanks to the intense efforts of our team, we as NEED Charity are starting to distribute hot meals as of today.

Ibn Al-Jawzi Quran School Completed

While we continue our projects supporting Quran students and education in many countries, our project openings are being completed one by one. We opened our Ibn Al-Jawzi Quran school, which was completed last week and started its activities, in Gaza. Our Quran school, whose opening was attended by state officials, will serve our young people in the region. We started our Quran school campaign last Ramadan and today this beautiful charity of ours has started to serve. 

Our Quran students will meet their accommodation needs in addition to their education at our school. At the same time, our young people will be able to socialize in their spare time around our Quran school, which has social facilities. 

إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًۭا مُّبِينًۭا لِّيَغْفِرَ لَكَ ٱللَّهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِن ذَنۢبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ وَيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكَ وَيَهْدِيَكَ صِرَٰطًۭا مُّسْتَقِيمًۭا وَيَنصُرَكَ ٱللَّهُ نَصْرًا عَزِيزًا 

Indeed, We have granted you a clear triumph O Prophet so that Allah may forgive you for your past and future shortcomings, perfect His favour upon you, guide you along the Straight Path, and so that Allah will help you tremendously. (Al-Fath 1-3) 

We hope that this project, which we started with the good news given to us by these beautiful verses, will be beneficial. 

In Gaza, which has been under siege for many years, our youth continue their Quran education under difficult conditions, and it is the responsibility of each of us to support these youth. Allah bless those who contributed.
