For nearly two years, Gaza’s water infrastructure has been deliberately targeted and destroyed. Israel’s ongoing blockade and bombardment have left the amount of water available dangerously low, far below what is needed for survival.
9 out of every 10 requests for water treatment items have been denied, leaving desalination plants barely functioning. With 86% of Gaza under forced displacement orders, water trucks cannot reliably reach families and even when they do, there is often no safe way to store the limited water delivered.
The consequences are devastating. Medical teams are treating 1,000+ cases of acute diarrhea every week, alongside outbreaks of scabies and other skin diseases. Hospitals are running on minimal water, making it harder to treat the wounded, prevent infection, and keep patients hydrated enough to survive.
What MAA is Delivering
Alhamdulillah, MAA has the opportunity to build a semi-deep water well at an UNRWA school.
This will allow:
- Production of 10,000 litres of clean water every hour
- Enough to supply thousands of people every day
Right now, Gaza’s people urgently need a safe, reliable, and local source of water, one that does not depend on trucks as this creates uncertainty of when they will receive water.
The Impact and How We Get There
For the next 7 days, we are rallying 350 people to give $100 each.
That’s:
- 1 fully funded water well providing 10,000 litres/hour
- Thousands of people served every single day
- One community transformed with access to clean, safe water
Will you be 1 of the 350 people to help?
Frequently Asked Questions
Is aid really getting into Gaza?
Unfortunately, no. Like most charities, we are unable to bring aid directly into Gaza through the borders. Since March 2025, the borders have been shut, and what little aid does enter is controlled by a US-Israeli managed company — part of a strategy that weaponises aid and limits access for Palestinians.
So how are you still distributing aid inside Gaza?
We work with long-standing, trusted partners who are based inside Gaza. Through these local networks, our partners are sourcing essential supplies such as vegetables, beans, wheat, lentils, clean water, and materials for basic health supplies. While meat is no longer available due to the blockade, these supplies allow us to provide critical daily nourishment.
3. How much aid are you distributing each day?
Every day, we are distributing 1,000–2,000 hot meals and over 150,000 litres of fresh water to families across Gaza.
4. Where is the aid being distributed?
Our teams on the ground are delivering food and water across North, Central, and South Gaza, wherever access allows and need is greatest. For the safety of our staff, we operate in the “safer” areas of each location. Some of our staff members have been killed by Israel.
5. Can you keep delivering aid with the situation this bad?
As long as our partners are able to access local supplies and safely distribute aid, we will continue delivering food and water every single day. But the situation is worsening. Gaza is facing a Stage-5 famine, and we urgently need support as we continue and scale our response.
6. How can I help?
Your donations directly fund daily distributions of food and water in Gaza. With soaring prices and growing need, every dollar counts.
