OVERVIEW
Help us to deliver urgent aid to Gaza. The already-dire humanitarian situation is worsening as civilians face the horror of major airstrikes. Almost 2 million people have been displaced during the latest aggression. 65% of hospitals are out of operation and the remaining facilities are struggling, with an influx of severe injuries and no resources to treat the injured. Power plants have run out of fuel. It’s even more difficult to respond to those who need us the most.
After an in-depth needs assessment, we realised that the greatest need in Gaza is supplies for the hospitals. The Palestinian Minister of Health said that hospitals in Gaza are “working beyond their capacity to treat the wounded as a result of the occupation’s aggression, and as a result the hospitals in the Strip are out of service”. We have worked closely with our partners on the ground to provide aid to as many families and hospitals as possible. We are now focussing on sending in medical kits and supplies through the Rafah crossing (Egypt)

PREVIOUS WORK
Lebanon
Salam Charity is on the ground with our partners in Lebanon, which has one of the largest refugee populations in the world. Our teams are working extremely hard to provide food, healthcare and shelter to those who affected by displacement from Syria and Palestine. We have qualified medical staff administering first aid and primary healthcare.
Pakistan
In 2022, flooding affected around 33 million people in Pakistan, leaving entire villages under water. At least 7 million people lost their homes, and we mobilised our local teams to deliver emergency aid including tents, mosquito nets and hygiene kits for displaced families. Our ongoing initiatives include a Goat Farming project, which helps farmers to earn additional income with a herd of goats.
Case Study
BABA’S STORY
While distributing emergency aid in Pakistan, our team met Baba. He had lost his home in the 2010 flooding and been once more affected by the 2022 floods. Baba was struggling to survive in unsafe and unsanitary conditions. Our team brought him emergency items and launched a campaign to raise funds for Baba. Building work on his new home is complete, and Baba is in receipt of a Salam Charity sponsorship.
