Gaza RESPONSE

We will be responding to the current emergency in Gaza, where hospitals are struggling to cope with an influx of serious injuries. The already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening, as already struggling civilians in one of the most densely populated places on Earth, once more face the horror of major airstrikes. Power plants have run out of fuel which means Gaza is without electricity making it even more difficult to respond to those who need us the most.

After a needs assessment, we realised that the greatest need in Gaza is to support the hospitals with supplies. 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 will work closely alongside our partners on the ground to supply to prepare our humanitarian response and support as many hospitals as possible.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

More support will be needed as casualties are expected to continue to rise in the coming days. Your support will help ensure that Palestinian health workers have the medical resources they need.

We will be distributing lots of different medical supplies and survival items which include:

Mattress and blankets
Ready to eat kits
Hot meals
Winter Pjs for children
Bread bags
Carpets
Food packs
Milk and Nappies
Wheelchairs
Mother and baby kits
Sanitary pads
Medicine
Medical Supplies
PPE
Surgical Equipment

Please consider donating to our emergency response today so we can respond rapidly to the growing health crisis

Previous Work

Lebanon

Salam Charity is on the ground with our partners in Lebanon, to provide food, healthcare and shelters to those who have been affected by the recent explosion. We will be offering medical attention by supplying qualified medical staff who will administer first aid and primary healthcare.

Pakistan

The worst monsoon rains, in almost a century have hit the country severely, causing thousands to become homeless, leaving hundreds dead and facilities in a dire state. Our team on the ground was able to reach those parts of Karachi heavily affected by the flood, providing thousands with some respite.

Yemen

Famine is devastating the country leaving millions without food and causing serious damage to the most vulnerable. Global Hunger Index indicates an alarming rate of food insecurity. Yemen is facing a catastrophe beyond anything that we can imagine. We have several projects in Yemen covering food, shelter, water and education.

Case Study

Thanks to your kind donations and ongoing support we were able to distribute food parcels to the destitute people of Yemen.

The area of Taiz has seen continuous fighting and it is the innocent civilians that suffer the most. We were able to get into the area with our longstanding partners and distribute lifesaving food parcels to 1,000 people.

We helped 200 families living in the worst conditions, many of which were suffering from acute malnutrition. They were supplied with culturally sensitive food packs that fed them for over a month. Each pack contained rice, pasta, oil, sugar, flour and other vital essentials.

Emergency SheltersEmergency FoodEmergency Medical AidWinter Emergency

Thousands of lives around the world are ruined by poverty, war and natural disasters every year. When people become homeless, they lose their sense of safety and security leaving them vulnerable and bereft of dignity.

We’ve been identifying the key issues that are preventing people from living a normal life, one being adequate shelter.

Food is a basic necessity for survival and also the key to a healthy life. Without regular healthy meals children struggle to go to school, carers struggle to work and communities are left battling to survive.

We work to provide sustainable long-term food solutions for communities in need, as well as offering short-term lifesaving interventions in response to global emergencies.

We’re working in Bangladesh, Lebanon, Pakistan and Yemen to provide winter survival kits, containing a food pack, a winter kit and a COVID-19 health kit.

We’re providing a range of solutions in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Our hygiene kits contain protective gloves, masks, toilet rolls, disinfectant and hand sanitisers.

When we think of winter, we imagine cosy homes, hot drinks, and comfortable clothing. But that is a far cry from the harsh reality faced by millions of people every year. The bitter truth is that people in much of the world, are ill-equipped and unprepared to face the unrelenting cold of the winter season.

A lack of adequate clothing and fuel is causing death. Mothers are forced to make decisions that none of us should ever have to make: to buy food to feed their children or buy fuel to keep them warm enough to survive the extreme winters.
