Children with autism in Gaza are among the most overlooked victims of the humanitarian crisis. Ongoing conflict, displacement and the collapse of specialist services have left many families without access to the therapy and support their children need to communicate, learn and thrive. Islamic Help’s Gaza Autism Support Programme provides practical, life-changing support where it is needed most.

Our community-based programme combines early intervention, behavioural and speech therapy, caregiver training, and tailored family support to help children reach their full potential. By empowering parents with the skills and resources to continue therapy at home, we’re creating sustainable change that strengthens families, restores hope, and builds brighter futures for children with autism across Gaza.

Your donation helps children with autism access specialist therapy, early intervention, and personalised care that may otherwise be unavailable. It supports speech and behavioural therapy, occupational therapy, developmental assessments, and tailored rehabilitation, giving children the opportunity to build essential communication, learning, and everyday life skills.

eyond therapy sessions, your generosity empowers families through caregiver training, home-based support, food assistance, and ongoing guidance from specialist professionals. Together, we can help children with autism gain confidence, improve independence, strengthen family wellbeing, and build brighter futures despite the challenges of conflict and displacement.

Every donation helps provide children with autism in Gaza access to specialist therapy, early intervention, caregiver training, and personalised family support. Your generosity gives vulnerable children the opportunity to communicate, learn, and develop essential life skills while empowering parents with the tools to continue their progress at home.

Together, we can ensure more children receive the care they deserve despite the challenges of conflict and displacement. Donate today and help build brighter futures, stronger families, and more resilient communities for children with autism across Gaza.

Islamic Help is strengthening long-term healthcare access for Palestinian families by supporting Palestine Hospital in Cairo, a vital referral centre serving refugees and vulnerable patients. We have already donated dialysis machines and essential medical equipment, enabling hundreds of patients to continue life-saving treatment they would otherwise struggle to access. Alongside this, we assist with medical referrals and wider patient support, ensuring those displaced by crisis receive specialist care with dignity.

Palestine Hospital also forms part of our wider Gaza/Egypt health network, helping bridge urgent medical needs while Gaza’s own facilities face immense strain. As we expand equipment provision and explore future rehabilitation support, your generosity is helping sustain critical treatment pathways and build stronger, more resilient healthcare systems for Palestinians facing prolonged crises.

Islamic Help’s support extends beyond equipment donations. Our teams have worked closely with hospital staff in Cairo to ensure vital machines are installed, operational, and reaching patients without interruption. Through coordinated referrals, vulnerable Palestinians who fled conflict have been guided into specialist treatment, including long-term renal care and other critical services.

One elderly patient, displaced from Gaza, was able to resume regular treatment after months of uncertainty, restoring stability to both his health and his family’s peace of mind. Alongside clinical support, we help families manage the practical challenges of accessing care, reducing financial and logistical barriers. As needs continue to grow, our next priority is expanding medical equipment provision, strengthening maintenance capacity, and increasing referral pathways so more patients can receive consistent, life-saving treatment without delay.

Demand for life-saving treatment continues to rise as vulnerable patients depend on sustained medical support to survive and recover. Hospitals and clinics are stretched beyond capacity, struggling to provide essential medicines, equipment, and trained staff. Your donation today ensures critical care continues without interruption, offering stability, dignity, and renewed hope to families facing prolonged hardship.

Right now, dialysis machines are running, patients are receiving specialist treatment, and families are finding renewed stability because supporters like you are standing with them. Islamic Help is continuing to strengthen Palestine Hospital’s capacity, expanding equipment provision and maintaining essential services so vulnerable patients are not left without care.

Every donation is helping sustain treatment pathways, support medical referrals, and ensure long-term healthcare remains accessible for those displaced by crisis. Together, we are not only responding to urgent needs but actively building stronger systems that protect dignity and save lives. As demand grows, your support is keeping this vital work moving forward, reaching more patients, strengthening hospital infrastructure, and ensuring consistent, life-saving treatment continues today and into the future.

More than 2 million people in Gaza are trapped in one of the world’s most severe humanitarian emergencies, with over 100,000 killed, more than 150,000 injured, and nearly the entire population displaced since October 2023. Famine conditions have been declared in parts of Gaza, where hundreds of thousands face catastrophic hunger, and children are suffering acute malnutrition due to blocked and severely restricted aid.

Hospitals are overwhelmed or destroyed, critical fuel and medical supplies are depleted, and thousands of wounded patients remain without access to urgent surgery or specialist care. Families are living in makeshift shelters without reliable food, clean water, sanitation, or electricity, while disease and trauma spread rapidly. With aid access constrained and basic services collapsing, more than a million lives remain at immediate risk without sustained emergency intervention.

Across Gaza, families are enduring relentless hardship as essential supplies run dangerously low and basic services continue to collapse. Entire neighbourhoods have been reduced to rubble, forcing parents and children into makeshift shelters without reliable access to food, safe drinking water, electricity, or healthcare. Malnutrition is rising, particularly among young children, while overwhelmed hospitals struggle to function amid critical shortages of fuel, equipment, and trained staff.

People with serious injuries and chronic illnesses are unable to receive the treatment they urgently need, and overcrowded living conditions are accelerating the spread of disease. Aid entering Gaza remains inconsistent and insufficient to meet the scale of need. Immediate humanitarian assistance is vital to sustain life, prevent further loss, and protect vulnerable families facing unimaginable daily risk.

Islamic Help is delivering life-saving assistance across Gaza right now, ensuring families receive urgent support when they need it most. Hot meals and food parcels are being distributed to displaced households, while clean water is supplied through tanker deliveries and essential hygiene items are provided to help prevent the spread of disease in overcrowded shelters. Our teams are also supporting hospitals and operating mobile medical clinics that provide consultations, medicines, and basic treatment to injured and vulnerable patients who cannot access overwhelmed health facilities.

Emergency shelter items, including blankets and essential supplies, are reaching families living in makeshift conditions. Every donation directly funds immediate, on-the-ground relief, putting food on tables, water in containers, and medical care into the hands of those fighting to survive each day.

Conflict and trauma leave thousands of people with life-changing limb loss, especially in Gaza. Without prosthetic limbs, survivors face lifelong disability, dependency, and exclusion from work or education. 

Islamic Help supports prosthetic and limb reconstruction services to help amputees regain mobility and independence. These interventions restore dignity, reduce long-term disability, and allow children and adults to rebuild their lives after devastating injuries.

After losing his leg in a conflict-related explosion, Ahmed struggled with daily movement and relied entirely on his family. Through Islamic Help’s prosthetic programme, he received a fitted artificial limb and rehabilitation support. 

With time, he learned to walk independently again, returned to work, and regained confidence. His prosthetic limb did more than restore mobility; it restored dignity, purpose, and the ability to support his family, proving how timely medical care can transform lives permanently.

Every donation is carefully allocated. Funds cover assessment and fitting, prosthetic limb production, and rehabilitation support.

Clear budgeting ensures each pound contributes directly to medical care, mobility training, and long-term recovery, giving donors full transparency and confidence.

A single prosthetic limb restores far more than movement. It allows someone to return to work, care for their family, and live independently with dignity and renewed confidence within their community.

Over time, this support creates lasting change. Each step reduces long-term dependency, improves household livelihoods, and strengthens emotional well-being. For donors, this becomes Sadaqah Jariyah, a continuous reward that transforms lives and restores hope for years to come.
