Eid in the ruins of Gaza

For families in Gaza, this Eid will be another test of resilience. Many have endured months of hardship, struggling to find food, clean water, and medical care. Children who should be looking forward to the excitement of Eid instead face the daily reality of trauma and uncertainty.

Yet, amid these difficulties, the spirit of Eid remains. And with your help, we can ensure that the most vulnerable in Gaza can experience the blessings of this special day.

Fulfil your Zakat-ul-Fitr obligation

As we prepare to celebrate Eid, it is important to remember the obligation of Zakat-ul-Fitr (Fitrana). This compulsory act of charity ensures that the less fortunate can also partake in the joy of Eid.

Your Zakat-ul-Fitr – £7 per person in your household – allows families in Gaza to receive essential food and supplies, helping them celebrate Eid with dignity. This obligation must be paid before the Eid prayer so that it reaches those in need on time.

Donate your Zakat-ul-Fitr now.

Give the gift of Eid to Gaza’s children

Eid is especially important for children – a time for new clothes, gifts, and happiness. But for many children in Gaza, war and hardship have taken away the simple joys of childhood. They deserve a reason to smile, and you can be the one to give it to them.

£25 can provide Eid gifts for five children in Gaza, allowing them to feel the happiness of Eid, just like any other child. A small act of kindness from you can create lasting memories for these children, giving them hope and reminding them that they are not forgotten.

Help children heal from trauma

While Eid is a time of joy, for most children in Gaza, the scars of war and displacement cast a long shadow over their young lives. The psychological toll of conflict is immense, leaving children with anxiety, nightmares, and deep emotional wounds.

By donating £30, you can provide a child in Gaza with a specialist trauma support session, helping them process their pain and begin the journey towards healing. Your support could change the life of a child struggling with trauma, giving them the tools they need to rebuild their future.

Make this Eid a time of giving

Eid is a time for generosity, compassion, and unity. By sharing your blessings with the people of Gaza, you can directly and meaningfully impact their lives.

Whether by fulfilling your Zakat-ul-Fitr, gifting joy to children, or supporting trauma relief, your donation will bring hope where it is needed most.
