7:26 PM @belalkh Since October 7, 2023, more than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed – including nearly 16,000 children.
Thousands more are injured or still missing under the rubble.
An estimated 1.9 million Palestinians have been displaced within Gaza.
Food, water, fuel and electricity are still cut off.
Homes, schools, markets, mosques, churches, hospitals, ambulances, and even safe routes have been hit.
Gazans have been warned to leave – but they have nowhere to go.
Baitulmaal’s staff on the ground in Gaza have been working around the clock to reach Palestinians in need with food, water, medicine, and emergency supplies from existing aid stock within Gaza. Baitulmaal aid trucks have also successfully crossed into Gaza from Egypt with food and winter supplies. Another aid convoy with even more aid is on the way.
Their efforts continue despite the difficulties. Our compassion must also continue.
Please keep the generosity going. It is making a difference in the lives of Palestinians who are in need of our support.
Every meal can make a difference. Keep the compassion going.

Two people celebrate their love in a simple ceremony, bringing joy to a camp for the displaced in Deir el-Balah.
Deir el-Balah, Gaza – In the middle of a makeshift camp for the displaced in Deir el-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, the air was filled with sounds of celebration. Dozens had gathered to mark the wedding of a Palestinian couple from the north.
Mahmoud, 23, and Shaima Khaziq, 18, had planned to marry more than eight months ago, but postponed the event because of the Israeli war on Gaza that began last October.
For more than two months, the displaced couple, along with their families, had resided in a makeshift camp in Deir el-Balah after being forced to flee the Shujayea neighbourhood in Gaza City. “We left our home amidst bombardment and gunfire, seeking refuge here, thus postponing our wedding,” Mahmoud told Al Jazeera
