Standing With Families in Ongoing Crisis

Standing with the people of Palestine through dignity, relief, and long-term humanitarian support.

Palestine remains one of the most complex and prolonged humanitarian crises in the world. Decades of occupation, repeated escalations of violence, displacement, and severe restrictions on movement have deeply impacted daily life for millions of Palestinians.

In Gaza and across Palestine, families face chronic shortages of food, clean water, healthcare, shelter, and essential services. Children grow up surrounded by instability and uncertainty, while entire communities struggle to meet even their most basic needs. Despite these hardships, resilience remains strong — and the need for sustained, dignified humanitarian assistance has never been more urgent.

At UMMA, our work in Palestine is rooted in immediate relief, community support, and human dignity. We respond to urgent needs while standing consistently with Palestinian families through transparent, compassionate, and accountable action.

The Humanitarian Crisis in Palestine

Palestine — and particularly the Gaza Strip — is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Prolonged blockade, repeated military offensives, and restricted access to essential resources have created a severe and ongoing humanitarian emergency.

Families across Palestine are facing:

• Daily struggles to secure enough food
  
  
• Market shortages and rising prices
  
  
• Limited and overstretched healthcare services
  
  
• Repeated destruction of homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods
  

Severe psychological and physical impact on children, including trauma, hunger, and interrupted education

For many Palestinians, survival has become a daily challenge — especially during periods of escalation, displacement, or seasonal hardship.

Our Humanitarian Work in Palestine

UMMA delivers direct, life-saving humanitarian aid to Palestinian families, with a strong focus on Gaza, where needs are most acute. Our programs are designed to respond rapidly while preserving dignity and trust.

Food Assistance & Hot Meal Distribution

We provide freshly prepared, nutritious meals to displaced families, children, and individuals facing hunger. These meals are warm, culturally appropriate, and delivered with care — offering nourishment, dignity, and relief during times of extreme hardship.

Emergency and Seasonal Relief

During periods of crisis, winter, or heightened violence, UMMA distributes essential aid such as food parcels, winter clothing, and basic necessities to help families endure extreme living conditions.

Support for Displaced Families

We prioritize households that have been displaced, lost their homes, or are living in overcrowded shelters, ensuring aid reaches those facing the greatest hardship and vulnerability.
