Second Year in Supporting Education of Palestinian Orphans

From the third day of the conflict onward, MyFundAction promptly initiated our initial distribution of hot meals in the Khan Younis area. A cumulative total of 3,000 hot meal packs, at a rate of 1,000 packs per day, have been dispensed to the local civilian population.

Thank you for all your support. Together we can reach and help more people in need.

This is not a religion issue, this is humanity. 

In our ongoing commitment to addressing the immediate needs of vulnerable communities in Gaza, our second distribution took place on 20th October, 2023 in Jabalia, Al-Maghazi Camp, and Deir al-Balah with the total cost of $20,000. This operation successfully delivered 10,000 packs of hot meals to residents in these areas, providing crucial sustenance during challenging times. The distribution process was conducted meticulously to ensure equitable access and efficient delivery of warm, nutritious meals to those in need. The positive impact of this initiative was palpable, with recipients expressing gratitude for the support.

In our fourth distribution effort, we implemented a comprehensive outreach program encompassing the distribution of medicines, medical supplies, and hot meals at Shuhada Al-Aqsa School and Malaysia School, located in the heart of Gaza. The combined value of these essential provisions amounted to $9,737.28. This distribution aimed to address critical healthcare needs and provide nourishment to the community, particularly in areas where access to such resources may be limited

Can you see the big smiles? These are the kids in G4z4. Alhamdulillah, there are 500 children joined us for a day of play in Khan Younis, Southern Gaza.

Our goal is to provide emotional support, bringing smiles to their hearts amid daunting challenges. Imagine kids who’ve lost homes, friends, toys and their parents. They had also lost their childhood. May Allah bring them happiness and strength Inshallah.

Alhamdulillah, 6000 to 7000 people benefited from the hot meal distribution in Gaza Strip over 13 days! The food was cooked by our team in Gaza, and a miracle happened during the cooking and distribution process.

Our team usually cooks for 5000 people, but on that day, there were extras. Our team went to several places, including a professional training center (2300 people), the Industry Center for Governmental Development (1500 people), and Al-Ayshiah school (800 people). The remaining meals were distributed to the patients at Hospital Martyrs Al Aqsa (around 200 meals), and a few were given to people on the streets.

In our eighth distribution, we launched Phase 2 of our psychological support program tailored for Gazan children in Khan Younis, Gaza. Building upon the success and positive impact of the initial phase, this extended initiative aims to provide continued emotional and psychological assistance to the young minds affected by the persisting challenges in the region. Through targeted counseling sessions, interactive activities, and a nurturing environment.

We strive to further contribute to the mental well-being and resilience of these children. This ongoing effort underscores our commitment to addressing the unique needs of Gazan youth, recognizing the importance of psychological support in their holistic development amidst challenging circumstances.

Over the course of five days, our dedicated team embarked on a mission to distribute hot meals in the Northern Gaza region, a vital initiative made possible by your generous support. With a total expenditure of $17,000, we were able to provide a staggering 20,000 hot meals to over 25,000 Palestinians, offering sustenance and solace amidst trying times. However, the journey was fraught with challenges as our volunteers encountered numerous obstacles, including the perilous conditions exacerbated by ongoing conflict. Tragically, one of our volunteers sustained injuries from an Israeli sniper, underscoring the risks involved in our humanitarian efforts. Despite the adversity, our commitment remains unwavering as we strive to alleviate the suffering of those in need, fueled by the compassion and solidarity of our supporters. Together, we continue to make a tangible difference in the lives of the people of Gaza, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness of adversity.

Malaysian NGOs, in collaboration with Aramex, have sent 20 tons of aid comprising food, hygiene kits, and medical supplies to Palestine via sea, a first for Malaysian NGOs. The aid includes RTE food, health kits, hygiene kits, and baby milk, valued at over RM670,000, collected with public support and initiated through the “Palestinian Solidarity Fund.” The aid will be delivered to Egypt and then distributed in Gaza by Friends of Palestine, leveraging strong diplomatic ties for efficient delivery and addressing urgent needs in the region while fostering international solidarity.

Our team worked tirelessly for 14 days, establishing central kitchens in South and North Gaza to provide iftar meals during Ramadan and Syawal. We successfully supported over 98,000 individuals, fostering community involvement by engaging local volunteers. Delays in humanitarian aid reaching Gaza heightened the urgency of our project, addressing severe shortages of food and medicine. Our efforts, though challenging, provided vital relief, highlighting the impact of collective compassion. In North Gaza, we tailored meals with local ingredients like Sumaghiyyeh, Zaatar Bread, and Maftoul, celebrating Palestinian culinary heritage and nourishing body and spirit. Despite circumstances, we distributed 1,600 meal sets over two days, showcasing our commitment to alleviating suffering and promoting solidarity in Gaza.

In a camp between Khan Younis and Rafah, our organization stands as a beacon of hope, offering psychological support and Eid gift distributions to residents facing challenges. Our third initiative, started in November and running through January, resumed for Eid al-Fitr in April 2024, reaching over 500 children. Emphasizing the importance of psychological well-being, our volunteers work tirelessly to alleviate the trauma endured over the past 190 days. These efforts aim to provide not just temporary relief but also to instill hope and resilience, fostering a brighter future filled with joy and unwavering support for Gaza’s children.

In May and June, a significant humanitarian effort unfolded with the 15th phase of hot meal distribution at Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al Balah, South Gaza. Over the course of 17 days, approximately 7,000 meals were distributed daily to patients and staff, showcasing the dedication and compassion of the volunteers involved. Tragically, the campaign was marked by the loss of one of its devoted volunteers, who died while helping with the distribution. Our thoughts and prayers are with the departed, and we ask for blessings and peace for those who lost their lives while serving others.
