Iftar Kitchen for Palestine

They returned, without their loved ones…
They returned, without enough food…
They returned, without adequate shelter…
They returned, without anything left…

This is the second Ramadan since the military campaign in Gaza. Palestinian are forced to fast without suhoor and breaking the fast properly. Mosques were razed to the ground, tarawih prayers were performed in congregation under the rubble using makeshift mats – often with the sky as a roof. To make it worst, they only have tents as protection from the harsh cold winter.

Acute starvation still haunts their days. They are risking their lives and queueing in the hope of getting something edible for their families. They are longing to dine with family wrapped in a delicious and complete menu, to carve out happy moments of laughter, and to perform ibadah of Ramadan serenely without the roar of bullets and missiles. The strong faith in their Lord is the reason they are able to endure this calamity. The ceasefire stage one has just shattered two days ago.  Their days seemingly go through without prospect of peace in the horizon.

The blessed month of Ramadan is for all Muslims to relish. Dompet Dhuafa USA strives to spread the blessing of Ramadan by sending iftar packages to Gaza families. Let’s join us in sharing happiness and bringing hope in this blessed month. Together, we will provide nourishing meal packages to the Palestine families in Gaza to ensure that they can fast with proper suhoor and iftar.
