Urgent Appeal: Support Gaza Amid Humanitarian Cris

Over the past months, the Salam Humanitarian Foundation has continued its commitment to saving lives and bringing relief to people in Palestine who are facing one of the most difficult humanitarian crises in recent years. The campaign “Saving Lives in Palestine” was launched with the goal of providing emergency medical assistance, food parcels, and psychosocial support to families and children affected by the ongoing conflict.

Despite our outreach and tireless efforts, the total amount raised so far has reached only $365.5. This amount, while appreciated, is unfortunately insufficient to initiate the planned interventions or to respond effectively to the growing needs on the ground. The situation in Gaza and other affected areas remains extremely dire — hospitals are overwhelmed, basic medicines are unavailable, and thousands of families are struggling every day to survive without adequate medical care or food security.

Through this campaign, we aimed to deliver essential medical supplies such as first-aid kits, wound-care materials, antibiotics, and trauma medicines. We also planned to support mobile health units capable of reaching remote communities and delivering emergency treatment to those unable to access hospitals. Additionally, part of the campaign’s design was to provide nutritional support to children and pregnant women and to offer psychosocial first aid to families suffering from displacement and trauma.

However, due to the limited financial resources collected so far, we were unable to initiate these critical activities. The raised funds have been reserved transparently in our donation account until we can secure enough contributions to begin implementation according to our humanitarian standards and accountability commitments. Every dollar donated through GlobalGiving is tracked, and our Foundation ensures full financial transparency and regular reporting to our supporters and partners.

We appeal to our generous donors and compassionate friends around the world to stand with us once again. The people of Palestine urgently need our help — every contribution, no matter how small, has the power to make a difference. A donation of just $20 can supply essential medicine to a child in need; $50 can provide food and hygiene kits for a displaced family; and $100 can help equip a mobile health unit to deliver life-saving services in crisis areas.

Your support can turn hope into action. Together, we can save lives, restore dignity, and bring light to families living under unbearable conditions. Please consider increasing your contribution or sharing this campaign with others who care about humanity and justice.

On behalf of the entire team at Salam Humanitarian Foundation, we express our deepest gratitude to all donors who have already supported this campaign. Your solidarity inspires us to continue our mission of compassion, resilience, and peace. Let us not stop here — together we can still make a lasting difference for the people of Palestine.

A Story of Hope Amid Crisis

When the Salam Humanitarian Foundation team entered the displacement camps in central Gaza, the scene was heartbreaking. Mothers sat holding their babies, trying to soothe their hunger cries with only water or tea – anything to fill their tiny stomachs. Fatima, a young mother of twins, told us:

“I never imagined I would be unable to feed my children. My milk has dried up because I haven’t eaten enough for days. The formula is too expensive even if it exists in the market.”

Due to severe border closures and restrictions on humanitarian aid, infant formula supplies have become nearly impossible to obtain. Prices have soared beyond what families can afford. For many infants, formula is now their only lifeline, as maternal malnutrition has reduced breastfeeding options.

Recognizing this urgent need, Salam Humanitarian Foundation, in partnership with the Gaza Association for Agriculture and Environment, launched the Support for Gaza’s Children initiative. Thanks to your generous support, we delivered infant formula to the most vulnerable babies from newborn to 18 months old in two of Gaza’s largest displacement camps.

When our team handed Fatima two cans of formula for her twins, her eyes filled with tears. She whispered:

“Today, my babies will sleep with full stomachs. May God bless you all.”

These are not just cans of formula. They are hope, dignity, and life itself for children like Fatima’s twins. But the crisis is far from over. As the humanitarian situation deteriorates further, more infants are at risk of malnutrition and death every day.

Your continued support makes these life-saving interventions possible. Together, we can ensure Gaza’s children are not forgotten.
