Help Palestinians this Ramadan

*This campaign is zakat eligible*

This Ramadan, Operation Realife is providing support to Palestinians by scaling up our already-existing food and water infrastructure. The efforts below are being done in addition to our normal operations.

Our goal:
Water: Deliver clean water to 100,000 people ($32,825). 

Food: Help us provide Palestinians with packaged meals ($17,175).

During Ramadan, many families will have nothing to break their fast with. We are providing packaged meals (suhoor and iftar) to Palestinian's but it’s only made possible with your support. 

The world’s leading organization on food insecurity and famine has projected that the food situation in Gaza is expected to remain severe through at least April of 2026, with approximately 1.6 million Palestinians facing crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse levels of food insecurity1.

This campaign will also help get water to 100,000 Palestinians via our water trucking services in the Gaza Strip.

Gazans struggle to get access to 3-15 liters of water per person each day. Many Palestinians' water access falls well below the WHO emergency minimum of 15 liters.

It’s estimated that around 90% of Gaza’s water infrastructure has been destroyed. As a result, many rely on communal water access points and/or wander aimlessly in search of water distribution events, or turn to the sea to collect seawater2. 

Equipment and resources needed for repairs are often barred from entry due to the Israeli-classification of being “dual-use”. Recently, damage on a key supply line from Israel has disrupted 70% of the water production in Gaza City3. A steel pipe required for repair has been barred for entry. Palestinians rely on water trucking services as an alternative.
