GAZA, PALESTINE November 15, 2023 – Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, is currently providing psychosocial support to hundreds of displaced Palestinian children seeking refuge in shelter centers across the Gaza Strip.

Displaced children are receiving psychosocial support through toys, activities, and friendly faces in shelter centers and schools located in Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis and Rafah. According to Ahmed Sheriff, international offices manager at Baitulmaal, the mental health of children is an unseen crisis that is unfolding in Gaza.

“These children are living through the horrors of war,” Sheriff said. “Our compassionate donors have been able to put a smile on their faces during these dark days and helped ease some of their suffering.”

In less than six weeks, Israel has killed more than 11,000 Palestinians. According to the UN, of those killed, about 41 percent are children and 25 percent are women. On average, one child is killed and two are injured every 10 minutes. For many children, this is not the first experience of violence in their short lives. A 16 year old child in Gaza today would have been born under an occupation and lived through violence in 2008, 2012, 2014, 2021, and the current crisis in 2023.

In addition to psychosocial support for displaced Palestinian children, Baitulmaal has been on the ground in Gaza distributing shelter kits, food, hygiene supplies, clean water and other emergency aid since October 7.

Prior to October 7, Baitulmaal had been working in Palestine for more than a decade, providing food, clothing, education support, seasonal giving, emergency aid and healthcare in Palestine, in addition to operating 400 water tanks in Gaza . Having staff and resources on the ground enables Baitulmaal to quickly mobilize emergency aid from existing stock within Gaza to families in need.

Baitulmaal continues to provide aid during the current crisis and will deliver more aid into Gaza as the situation allows. If you would like to learn more about or contribute to Baitulmaal’s efforts in Palestine, please visit their website at johnjanney.org/.

Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world. With headquarters in Texas, the charity has domestic offices in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey as well as international offices in Europe, Africa, South Asia and the Middle East.

GAZA, PALESTINE November 12, 2023 – Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently provided medical supplies to support Gaza’s medical sector, benefitting 40,000 patients in Gaza.

According to Ahmed Sherif, international offices manager at Baitulmaal, the beneficiaries included many wounded children, women, and disabled people. The health centers in Gaza received medical supplies, medicine, and ambulance support.

“As the escalation in Gaza continues, the demand for medical supplies keeps growing,” Sherif said. “We must help the people of Gaza by providing the necessary medical equipment in operating rooms to better treat the wounded victims.”

After October 7, health authorities in Gaza reported the death toll increased to more than 5,500 deaths, more than half of them being children, women, and elderly people, in addition to injuring more than 15,500 others, most of them also children and women.

In addition to providing medical supplies to Gaza, Baitulmaal has been providing emergency aid, food, clean water stations, and psychosocial support for children.

Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world.

Baitulmaal Operates Clean Water Stations for 44,500+ Displaced Palestinians in Gaza

GAZA, PALESTINE November 9, 2023 – Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, is currently operating clean water stations in shelter centers located in various areas of Gaza that serve more than 44,500 displaced Palestinians.

Clean water stations have been set up in schools and refugee centers located in central and southern Gaza, including Al-Zawaideh, Deir Al-Balah, Al-Khawalda, Al-Sawarha, Al-Maghazi Camp and Al-Nuseirat Camp. These stations ensure clean water access to thousands of Palestinians displaced within Gaza since October 7. 

According to Elora Bashir, program operations manager at Baitulmaal, the charity was operating 400 water tanks across Gaza prior to October 7 which were refilled weekly to provide clean water access to families in need. Due to the recent bombardment and blockade of the Gaza Strip, the charity rerouted its available water resources in the region to serve the needs of the displaced population.

“We are grateful to our team in Gaza who were able to pivot quickly to address the evolving situation on the ground,” Bashir said. “We are also thankful to our donors who enable us to provide clean water to as many people as possible during this critical time.”

Access to clean water has been one of the biggest challenges in Gaza, even prior to the recent crisis. According to the UN, more than 96 percent of the groundwater in Gaza is “unfit for human consumption.” Since the recent blockade and bombardment of Gaza, resources have been severely limited, making safe, clean water even harder to find. Cholera is rising due to contaminated water, posing huge risks to a population that has been forced to leave their homes and seek refuge in overcrowded shelters.

Baitulmaal has been working in Palestine for more than a decade, providing food, clothing, education support, seasonal giving, emergency aid and healthcare in Palestine, in addition to operating desalination plants and 400 water tanks in Gaza . Having staff and resources on the ground enables Baitulmaal to quickly mobilize emergency aid from existing stock within Gaza to families in need.

Baitulmaal continues to provide aid during the current crisis and will deliver more aid into Gaza as the situation allows. If you would like to learn more about or contribute to Baitulmaal’s efforts in Palestine, please visit their website at johnjanney.org/.

10,000+ Palestinians Receive Food, Emergency Aid in Khan Younis

More photos below

GAZA, PALESTINE November 3, 2023 – Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed emergency aid to more than 10,000 Palestinians in Khan Younis.

In addition to providing items such as blankets, food packages and warm meals to displaced Palestinians, Baitulmaal provided water and produce for meals to support 1,200 healthcare workers, patients and their families at the Nasser Medical Complex. 

According to Elizabeth Sohail, program development manager at Baitulmaal, the charity is also providing daily warm meals for more than 4,600 displaced Palestinians living in two shelter centers in Khan Younis.

“Bakeries have been bombed, markets are empty, and access to food is becoming increasingly difficult,” Sohail said. “These daily warm meals are lifelines for those struggling with hunger, especially displaced Palestinians that have very few resources to help them cope.”

According to the UN’s World Food Programme, Gaza is facing widespread hunger as food systems collapse. An estimated ten percent of necessary food supplies have entered Gaza since the beginning of the recent blockade, leaving many Palestinians on the brink of starvation.

Baitulmaal has been working in Palestine for more than a decade, providing food, clothing, education support, seasonal giving, emergency aid and healthcare in Palestine, in addition to operating 400 water tanks in Gaza . Having staff and resources on the ground enables Baitulmaal to quickly mobilize emergency aid from existing stock within Gaza to families in need.

GAZA, PALESTINE October 23, 2023 – Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed emergency aid to more than 4,800 Palestinians in central Gaza.

Emergency aid such as food packages, mattresses, blankets, hygiene kits, baby formula, and hot meals were distributed to residents sheltering in place in Deir al Balah, as well as to those who were recently displaced.

According to Elizabeth Sohail, program development manager at Baitulmaal, many Palestinians in Gaza are unable to secure basic needs during the ongoing blockade and bombardment of Gaza.

“Families were driven from their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs, while many of those sheltering in place have little to survive on as the situation deteriorates all around them,” Sohail said. “Thanks to our donors and our teams on the ground, we are able to deliver crucial aid now when it is needed most.”

Baitulmaal has been working in Palestine for more than a decade, providing food, clothing, education support, seasonal giving, emergency aid and healthcare in Palestine, in addition to operating 400 water tanks in Gaza .

GAZA, PALESTINE October 11, 2023 – Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, is distributing emergency aid to families impacted by the recent escalation of violence in Palestine.

Local teams are on the ground in Gaza delivering aid such as hot meals, food packages and other emergency supplies to displaced families as well as families that are sheltering in place in their homes, according to Ahmed Sherif, international offices manager at Baitulmaal. Specific locations will not be disclosed due to security concerns.

“Our field workers inside Gaza are among the few who have accepted the risk of distributing aid during this crisis,” said Sheriff. “We are purchasing emergency aid supplies inside Gaza because there is no way to import items due to the blockade at this time.”

The team has received reports that a building behind Al-Shifa Hospital was bombed and its prenatal newborn unit was damaged. Nasser Hospital was also affected when the nearby area was struck.

Prior to the recent escalation in violence, Gazans faced routine power outages, limited water access, food insecurity and poverty due to an ongoing blockade. According to the UN, more than 75 percent of Gazans relied on humanitarian aid in an area commonly considered the world’s largest open air prison. In recent days, food, fuel, electricity and water have been completely cut off, while hospitals rely on fuel generators to continue life-saving services.

Baitulmaal provides food, clothing, education support, seasonal giving, emergency aid and healthcare in Palestine. The charity also operates 400 water tanks in Gaza.

Baitulmaal will continue to provide aid during the current crisis in Gaza and prays for the safety of all innocent lives caught in the crossfire. If you would like to learn more about or contribute to Baitulmaal’s efforts in Palestine, please visit their website at johnjanney.org/.

ALEPPO, SYRIA May 4, 2023 – Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed food packages to more than 12,800 earthquake survivors in Syria.

According to Elora Bashir, program operations manager at Baitulmaal, the beneficiaries included 2,570 vulnerable Syrian households who have been displaced due to the earthquake, especially communities in hard-to-reach areas.

“Many families in Aleppo and Latakia were displaced from their homes due to the earthquake,” Bashir said. “Our team prioritized these families to ensure they received essential food assistance during these trying times.”

The World Food Programme estimates that 12.9 million Syrians – more than half the population – are in the grip of hunger, and the series of earthquakes have only exacerbated the brutal socioeconomic conditions many families face.

Baitulmaal immediately responded to the earthquakes that struck Turkiye and northern Syria earlier this year. Baitulmaal has been on the ground in northwest Syria delivering food, and responding to emergencies including the recent earthquakes. Hospitals and clinics in northern Syria were among the recipients of a $5.35M medical aid shipment. To learn more about or contribute to these efforts, visit johnjanney.org/. 

Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world. With headquarters in Texas, the charity has domestic offices in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey as well as international offices in Europe, Africa, South Asia and the Middle East.

ISTANBUL, TURKIYE April 5, 2023 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently completed the distribution of a $5.35M medical aid shipment to earthquake-raved Turkiye and northern Syria.

The first two of seventeen containers arrived in Kahramanmaraş the day after a series of deadly earthquakes struck in Turkiye on February 6, 2023. The initial shipments included 200 hospital beds that were used to support doctors, medical technicians and nurses treating the critically injured in the wake of the disaster.

The remaining fifteen containers arrived in Mersin, a port city in Turkiye, and were dispatched to various hospitals and clinics within Turkiye and in northern Syria. Among the recipients were Kocaeli University Research and Application Hospital and Yozgat University Hospital in Turkiye, as well as Idlib National Hospital, Aqrabat Hospital, Noor Hospital for Women and Children as well as smaller clinics in the region.

The shipments included essential items such as medical equipment and devices, hospital beds and triage supplies. Hisham Morgan, operations director at Baitulmaal, oversaw the deliveries in Turkiye.

“The health sectors of both countries were overwhelmed and in dire need of medical supplies after such a large-scale tragedy. Those who survived the quakes were at risk of succumbing to their injuries without ongoing care and adequate resources,” Morgan said. “Thankfully, the shipments arrived in time. The receiving hospitals were very grateful for these donations and expressed their deepest appreciation to Baitulmaal donors.”

On February 6, 2023, a series of powerful earthquakes struck in southern Turkiye and northern Syria, followed by thousands of significant aftershocks including another deadly 6.3 magnitude quake two weeks after the initial 7.8 and 7.6 magnitude earthquakes. As of February 22, 2023, the death toll stands at more than 47,000 people across both countries with thousands more injured, missing or displaced.

Baitulmaal has been on the ground in Turkiye and northern Syria mobilizing aid to affected areas. In addition to the $5.35M in medical supplies, Baitulmaal distributed more than 340,000 meals in cities such as Hatay, Gaziantep and Sanliurfa in Turkiye as well as in Idlib in northern Syria. The charity also distributed blankets, tents, clothing, shoes, heaters and firewood to displaced families.

Baitulmaal has been in the region prior to the earthquakes delivering aid. In addition to food and winter relief, Baitulmaal also supports Uyghur and Syrian refugees in Turkiye, oversees hundreds of donor-sponsored orphans, and has reconstructed four schools including a large vocational school in Ras Al-Ayn, Syria.

IDLIB, SYRIA March 17, 2023 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently completed the distribution of emergency food, water and supplies to 425 families displaced by earthquakes and flooding in northern Syria.

The distribution took place in six camps in two communities in the Maa’raat Misrin sub-district, most of which were established after the earthquakes on February 6, 2023. Families received items such as bread, clean water, sanitary napkins, infant formula and blankets.

According to Elizabeth Sohail, program manager at Baitulmaal, displaced families were at risk of illness and water-borne diseases after recent floods compounded the disaster in the region.

“Families who survived the initial earthquakes were facing more and more difficulties as the days went by,” Sohail said. “Basic necessities such as clean water, baby food, and hygiene products were urgently needed in these camps, and our donors came through to ensure that these families had them as soon as possible.”

After the deadly earthquakes on February 6, 2023 in which more than 50,000 people died across Turkiye and northern Syria, ongoing aftershocks and flash floods continue to affect vulnerable families in the region. In northwest Syria, a dam collapsed causing the Orontes River to overflow and flood villages where families had relocated after the earthquakes. In this area alone, approximately 1,000 houses flooded and 7,000 people were evacuated. Across the border in Sanliurfa, Turkiye, at least 16 people have perished in flash floods according to state news agency Anadolu.

NGOs like Baitulmaal are crucial in mobilizing aid to people in need. Baitulmaal has been on the ground in northwest Syria delivering food, rebuilding schools, completing water access projects, and responding to emergencies prior to the earthquakes. Last month, $5.35M in medical aid supplies were dispatched to hospitals and clinics in Turkiye and northern Syria in addition to emergency food, heaters and tents.

Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world. With headquarters in Texas, the charity has domestic offices in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey as well as international offices in Africa, South Asia and the Middle East.
