Months after the most recent conflict, Palestinian families are in despair and continue to face food shortages and wide-spread poverty. The health situation has shown no improvement either as lack of supplies and medicines continues to plague residents.

Islamic Relief has been distributing food packages, hygiene kits, kitchen sets and blankets to hundreds of families daily. Forty-eight tons of powdered milk were delivered to school children and over 14,000 impoverished families benefit from the Family Sponsorship Program.

• $40 can provide a 30-day food pack to a hungry family
• $150 can provide nutritional support to school children
• $175 a month can sponsor a needy family for one year
