We are "The Noor Shams Team", a grassroots local initiative in the Gaza Strip founded and run by the families of celiac children themselves. The team representative is Ahmed Sabah, a devoted father whose own child is one of these patients battling the disease every day. As parents and relatives, we live this struggle daily. Our mission is strictly humanitarian: providing safe, gluten-free food and essential medical aid to children suffering from Celiac disease.
Under the current catastrophic conditions, access to regular food is nearly impossible—but for Celiac children, eating normal flour or contaminated food is literally life-threatening. It causes severe intestinal damage, malnutrition, and excruciating pain. Gluten-free products are completely unavailable or unaffordable in local markets right now.
Every single donation goes directly to procurement and distribution:
Purchasing certified gluten-free flour and grains.
Preparing and distributing urgent food baskets to registered families.
Ensuring these children survive this crisis without medical complications.

This blog is new, but Noor Al-Shams Celiac Team has been fundraising on instagram and tiktok before coming here. Their chuffed campaign links to google drive folders with many photos documenting the distribution of gluten-free food purchased with previous donations.
I am not qualified to vet fundraisers, but I think there is more than enough information provided to establish this grassroots group supporting Gazan children with Celiac disease. Please check their documentation for yourself (here and here) and help them out!
