GAZA, PALESTINE June 6, 2025 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed 4,000 iftar meals to displaced families in Gaza on the Day of Arafah during the sacred Islamic month of Dhul-Hijjah.
Approximately 800 families across northern and southern Gaza received iftar meals to break their fast with a warm meal. According to Ahmed Sherif, senior manager of international programs at Baitulmaal, Baitulmaal Kitchens continue to provide food despite an ongoing blockade on humanitarian aid.
“It is heartbreaking how many people are suffering from hunger in Gaza right now,” Sherif said. “We are grateful to our donors for continuing to support our efforts in Gaza. Every meal makes a difference.”
According to the World Food Programme, 9 out of 10 people in Gaza face food insecurity and cannot afford sufficient nutritious food.
In addition to distributing food, Baitulmaal has been working in Palestine for more than a decade providing food, emergency aid, clean water, psychosocial support, Ramadan food packages, and hygiene supplies.
Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world. With headquarters in Texas, the charity has domestic offices and representatives in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey as well as international offices in Europe, Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East.
