Ramadan Kareem to all our Muslim supporters! Ramadan is a month of fasting, charity, prayer, and generosity. We are encouraged to practice patience and devotion in this month, abstaining from food and drink until sundown.

Unfortunately, this Ramadan marks the 3rd Ramadan spent during genocide for our people in Palestine. Many will struggle to find food to break their fasts and replenish their tired bodies. Water sources are still heavily damaged, contaminating over 80% of fresh water. While Muslims worldwide plan their Suhoors and excitedly look forward to Iftars, their brothers and sisters in Palestine remain uncertain about what this month holds for them.

Yet they remain strong. They remained devoted to their Creator despite the increased hardship. In this glorious month, we ask that you increase your support and enable us to provide food and water over the next 30 days. We need a consistent stream of donations so that we are continously able to alleviate our community's stress, day in and day out. Already we are working intensely in preparation to give out food packages begining tomorrow, and the behind the scenes videos are available on our Instagram. Please follow us there at @Relief4Rafah to keep up with us this Ramadan!

As a reminder, our campaign is zakat-eligible!

Thank you.

Summer Is Almost Here...

No longer is the season a time for celebrating but instead its become a season of scarcity. Water, the most important natural resource, is already hard to find but it becomes harder to keep during summer.  Help us provide water at least twice a week this summer via donating to our campaign. Every share and awareness also helps. 

Thank you,

Due to the war on Iran, crossings have been closed which sparked major price increases in basic goods like oil, sugar, diapers etc. Many families are terrified of the implications.

"Will I be able to break my fast today?" "What will the children wear?" "Will we have water today?"

Palestinian suffering is continuing amidst this war, so we ask that you do not look away but instead increase your focus upon Ghazzah. Donations have been very slow and inconsistent but with your help, we can make a tangible difference. Thank you.

According to UN reports, 70% of water production has been disrupted due to the occupation's blockage on steel materials needed to repair key water lines. Meaning, majority of Gazawi families do not have access to clean water. In this moment, we are able to combat extreme thirst only through the generosity and compassion of the global community. Water is a basic right for everyone. Full stop. When we see kids beaming with joy at the fulfillment of a basic necessity, we know the world has failed. But you, a person with a kind heart, make initiatives possible. Your support changes the realities on the ground. 

Here we provided 10,000 liters of waters for the families of Al-Mawasi Al-Qarara refugee camp. We hope that you will continue supporting us so that we can keep showing up for our community and providing for their needs day in and day out.  Thank you.

After a long time without any clean water, Relief for Rafah was able to bring a water truck of 3,000 liters to the refugee camp of Al-Mawasi Al-Qarara. This was done thanks to your support and generosity. Costing about $350, the water truck brought immediate relief to these families that have been unable to preform basic functions for the past several days. Getting water is no easy job in Gaza with few access points and long lines. But your assistance is what makes the material change. 

We thank you sincerely and hope you will continue to support us & the community!

Al-Mawasi NEEDS Water!

Hello everyone,

There is an urgent need for clean water to the Al-Mawasi Al-Qarara camp! For several days now, no water trucks have entered, causing extreme distress to the residents. People are unable to bathe, wash their few pieces of clothing, drink clean water, etc. 

It's easy for most of you to turn on the tap and find clean water but that luxury doesn't exist anymore in Gaza. Donations have been slow and almost non-existent for the past week. Our campaign is depended upon your generosity so we ask that you give whatever you can today to help provide a water truck of at least 6,000 liters.

 We hope that you will stand with us. Thank you.

Before the heavy rainfall flooded the camp of Al-Mawasi Al-Qarara once again, our team worked hard and brought joy to over 30 kids with fun games, treats, and prizes. Multiple members from the camp's leadership took part to make a fun day for these kids who have lost everything.

As you look over their smiling faces, we hope you think about their conditions today. Many of their tents have flooded overnight, their belongings destroyed, and despair has hung over the camp for some days now. Relief for Rafah hopes to provide them with waxed plastic sheets to help protect their tents from the winter storms and a large water truck. Clean water is still inaccessible for most families, making them dependent on the trucks we bring weekly.

Donate now to provide them with these necessities, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Winter has set into Gaza, bringing freezing low temperatures and high winds with it. Due to the genocide and price gouging of other basic materials to live, many families have been unable to buy winter clothes for themselves or their children. Heavy exposure to the cold and rain have drastic effects on a population that has been worn down by famine, diseases, and psychological trauma. Children are the most vulnerable, so we decided to help out by distributing 13 pairs of winter clothing sets to children in the Khan Younis area. Due to heavy rains last night, we were only able to distribute 10 and the other three will be distributed today.

Each set costed about $16.67 each, totaling a cost of $216 after commission fees. The generosity of your donations, our monthly donors, and the  hard work of our individuals on the ground make our missions possible. With donations decreasing since the 'ceasefire', we are really counting on you guys to keep us going.

Thank you.

10,000 Liters of Water & An Appeal

We hate to say it but:

Donations have been slow over the past two weeks. 

Despite this, our team managed to provide a 10,000 liter potable water truck at a cost of 600 dollars. It was only due to the help of some of our team members that we were able  to pay the full price of the truck. Therefore, we humbly appeal to our followers and generous donors to intensify their support and donate urgently. We strive to provide water twice a week to the camp and with the prices of water rising, we need you more than ever.

All hands are needed on deck!

120 Bread Packages for 100 Families in Al-Mawasi!

While severe conditions and our current donation rate force us to prioritize water truck conditions at the moment, we will always work to improve the lives of camp residents in anyway possible. Yesterday, we distributed 120 bags of flour to 100 families consisting on average 5 people making it a total of 500 people served by your donations.

A quick message from the administration and organizers on the ground: “Thank God, thanks to you, we brought happiness to hundreds of people. We thank you all in the camp from the administration and all the individuals”

Your donations and generosity make everything possible. When you give it transforms the reality on the ground & makes real, tangible differences. 

Thank you.

In light of the increasingly colder weather in Gaza, we've decided at Relief for Rafah to launch a winter clothing initiative for several displaced families in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis. Without any income, families in Gaza cannot afford most basic necessities that are easily available in other parts of the world. The most vulnerable populations are at risk of pneumonia from the harsh temperature drops combined with lack of shelter.

The campaign closes in a week and a half with a goal of $10,000. We ask that you support with a sense of urgency and thank you for all and any kindness.

Winter Clothes for Displaced Families in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis.

Relief for Rafah has been providing life-saving aid to displaced families in the southern Gaza Strip since December of 2024. Since then, the

“Do not think my martyrdom is the end, it is the beginning of a long road toward freedom. I am a messenger of a message I wanted the world to hear, to a world that shuts its eyes, and to those who stay silent before the truth.” - Saleh Al-Jafawari

Saleh wasn’t just a journalist, but a light for his people. He never stopped reporting and he never stop resisting the zi-nist project until the very end. In accordance with his last wishes and the memory he left on everyone in Ghazzah, we provided a water truck to the Mawasi Al-Qarara refugee camp near Khan Younis.

Water is still a very, very scarce resource for over 83% of people. The alleged “ceasefire” is a barely effective bandaid on top of extraordinary destruction that impedes all attempts at rebuilding. P-lestine still needs you, your voice, your action, and your support.

May God have mercy on Saleh and mercy on the people of Ghazzah.
