More than 219 Palestinians, including 61 children, have been killed and over 1,500 injured by Israeli airstrikes in the current onslaught in Gaza. Airstrikes have also hit the Shateh refugee camp taking 10 civilian lives. Airstrikes have also targeted a multi-story building with various media offices. More than 130 buildings including 17 hospitals and Gaza’s only COVID-19 testing site have been damaged or destroyed. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced and hundreds of homes destroyed. Gaza’s sewerage and water supply have also been damaged, with reports indicating 800,000 Gazans now lack access to safe drinking water.

With your support Al-Imdaad Foundation is providing, emergency food aid hampers, daily water distributions and hot meals, as well as ongoing medical services through our Essahaba Hospital.

CONTINUE YOUR SUPPORT.

In Gaza, years of blockade and recurrent cycles of hostilities have had a severe impact on local infrastructure, delivery of services, available livelihood opportunities and the ability of families to cope. Palestinians in Gaza are locked in and unable to travel to other parts of the Palestinian territories or the outside world. Movement restrictions started in the early 90’s but became stricter in 2007 and have had a huge impact on the standard of living. Currently over 80% of Gazans live in poverty with unemployment rates also among the highest globally.
Major upsurges in conflict occur every few years, and result in severe destruction, loss of life, injury and internal displacement as people lose family members, homes, limbs, and belongings.

Professional or service orientated businesses e.g. lawyers, doctors, plumbers etc. should not capture monies owing to them for services rendered. The ‘Debtors Section’ should be used for this.

Polices

For conventional (non-Sharia compliant policies) first establish the premiums paid to date and the current value of the policy (whether accessible or not) and pay on the lesser amount as only that portion that equals your contributions (i.e. premiums) is halal. In other words, reduce current value by the amount of interest accrued.

For Sharia compliant policies pay Zakaat on the current value of the policy (whether accessible or not).

Zakaat is payable on all monies owing to you if you have a reasonable expectation that such monies are secure (will be paid).
