“Something is profoundly broken
“One hospital in Gaza City – the Patient Friendly Hospital where I was yesterday – sees 60 to 80 children each and every day being admitted for malnutrition and other illnesses.
“Two days ago, I met children in Nasser hospital who have been paralysed, burnt, or had limbs amputated following direct hits on tents, all at approximately two in the morning. A few days earlier, at Al Aqsa hospital, I met many children who had been shot by quadcopters.
“When the world adjusts and normalizes this level of violence and deprivation, something is profoundly broken.”James Elder, UNICEF

FAQs
The Emergency Aid Waqf is a permanent charitable investment whose annual profits are used to provide essential support for families in emergencies — including food, clean water, shelter, and hygiene kits.
When you donate £100 as a waqf share, it is invested in a Sharia-compliant way — usually in a low-risk property. Each year, 80% of the profits go towards emergency aid projects, 10% is reinvested to increase future income, and 10% is used to maintain and sustain the waqf.
In partnership with Human Appeal, which has over 30 years of experience in more than 25 countries, the waqf supports projects such as: Providing clean water in crisis areas. Hot meals and food parcels for displaced families. Temporary shelters for those who have lost their homes. Mobile clinics and emergency medical care. Winter clothing for vulnerable families. Prosthetics for those injured by war. Mobile schools for children in conflict zones. Rebuilding hospitals in affected areas.
A donation of £100 can generate £1,370.78 in profit over 100 years, which could provide 68 emergency kits — helping 340 people. Each kit includes food, water, basic medicine, hygiene supplies, and blankets.
Because the world is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis — more than 305 million people need aid, and 120 million have been forced to flee their homes. In Sudan alone, over 30 million people are in urgent need of relief, and in Gaza, children are living through one of the worst humanitarian crises in modern history. Your waqf helps provide life-saving support year after year.
