Ramadan Appeal for Palestine

Turn the blessings of Ramadan into iftar meals and relief for families in Gaza.

Ramadan is a month of mercy, reflection and generosity — a time when the rewards of giving are multiplied and the hungry are held close in our thoughts and prayers. For families in Gaza, it is also a month of profound hardship, when the simple joy of an iftar meal cannot be taken for granted.

The Ramadan Appeal for Palestine channels your fasting-month giving into food, water and essential relief for families struggling to break their fast with dignity. Every donation helps fill an empty plate at sunset and bring a little of Ramadan's peace to those who need it most.

Whether you are giving sadaqah, distributing your charity across the blessed nights, or seeking Laylat al-Qadr, this appeal turns your intention into direct help for Palestinian families this Ramadan.

Why give to Palestine this Ramadan

Ramadan magnifies both the meaning and the reward of charity. Feeding a fasting person carries immense virtue, and the need in Gaza has rarely been greater. Families who once prepared iftar together now depend on aid simply to break their fast.

Giving through this appeal means your Ramadan generosity reaches families facing severe food insecurity, at the exact time they feel it most acutely.

What your Ramadan donation provides

Your gift funds the essentials of a dignified Ramadan for families in Gaza, delivered through our food and water programmes throughout the month.

  • Hot iftar meals served through community kitchens
  • Monthly food parcels of Ramadan staples for a family
  • Safe drinking water for households in displacement
  • Special support for orphans, widows and the elderly

Giving across the blessed nights

Many donors choose to spread their giving across the last ten nights of Ramadan in the hope of catching Laylat al-Qadr — the Night of Decree, better than a thousand months. You can give a single gift or divide your charity across these nights.

However you choose to give, your Ramadan donation goes to work quickly, reaching families through partners already on the ground in Gaza.

Zakat, sadaqah and your Ramadan giving

Ramadan is when many Muslims calculate and pay their Zakat, alongside voluntary sadaqah. Our food and relief work supports families who are eligible recipients of such giving. If you intend a specific form of charity, our team and your own scholar can help ensure it is directed appropriately.

This is general guidance rather than a religious ruling — for questions specific to your Zakat or intentions, please consult a qualified scholar.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly does my Ramadan donation reach families?
Because we work through local partners already operating in Gaza and pre-position food stock ahead of Ramadan, iftar meals and parcels reach families quickly — often within days, so support arrives during the blessed month itself.
Can I give my Zakat through the Ramadan Appeal?
Yes. Much of our food and relief work supports Zakat-eligible families. If you are giving Zakat specifically, let us know your intention and consult your scholar so it is directed to eligible recipients in the correct way.
Can I spread my donation across the last ten nights?
Absolutely. Many donors divide their giving across the final nights of Ramadan seeking Laylat al-Qadr. You are welcome to give a single gift or several smaller ones across the month — every contribution reaches families in need.
