Together We Learn

Amid the ongoing tension in Gaza, Islamic Relief remains proactive in delivering aid and supporting the people of Palestine.

Most recently, we have been working with our local partner to deliver the Together We Learn project to children and youth in Gaza.

“Alhamdulillah, this program holds great meaning for them. Despite the ongoing conflict, they are very happy because this initiative has brought back the learning environment they once experienced in school,” said one of the Islamic Relief Palestine staff members.

Thanks to your generous support and donations, we have been able to bring this educational project to life, even during these emergency times.

Since the attacks on Gaza began on October 7, around 625,000 children have been unable to continue their education.

In the 11 month long war on Gaza, more than 9,500 Palestinian students have been killed.

Schools, which once served as places of refuge for Palestinians, have also been targeted without mercy.

Over 85 percent of schools in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed in a series of bombings.

In addition to educational aid, Islamic Relief provides other forms of assistance almost daily, including distributing food, clean water, cleaning supplies for temporary shelters, psychosocial activities, medical treatment, and lipid-based nutrient supplements for children, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.

As of September 27, the death toll in Gaza has risen to more than 41,595, with another 96,251 people injured.
