The war may be paused, but Gaza is still fighting to survive. Gaza still starves.

Gaza stands in the aftermath of destruction during a pause to a conflict that may not last. The cries from hunger still echo. Families are still fighting to survive, their hope overshadowed by the grim reality that they have nothing left. Gaza still starves.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "He is not a believer whose stomach is filled while his neighbour goes hungry." This is our duty. Our mercy. Our moment to act.

If this is the end of war, we need to unite as an Ummah for our brothers and sisters in Gaza. We must be ready for what comes after: hunger, malnutrition, and the slow fading of life when food is gone and help is scarce. MATW is still there and we will not leave. Thanks to YOU, our teams continue to deliver hot meals, clean water, infant formula, and food packs every day keeping families alive when the world has turned away. $160 AUD can deliver an emergency relief bundle that provides one person with 1 Hygiene Kit, a Warm Blanket and a Food Pack containing 2kg Rice, 2kg Flour, 2kg Lentils, 2kg Sugar, 1 litre Vegetable Oil, 6 units × 400g Canned Food (beans/chickpeas/tuna mix), 1kg Salt, 2 x 100g Tea and 2 x 400g Tomato Paste Sachets.

More than 66,000 people have lost their lives -18,500 are children. More than 168,000 people have been injured and 390 people have died from starvation, including more than 140 children.

Your Zakat and Sadaqah could be the difference between life and death for someone in need in Gaza. We urgently need your help to reach as many people as possible.

Having already established ground operations in Palestine, our MATW team was among the first to respond when the conflict began. Our ground team has been delivering essentials daily with the distributions shifting to whatever is available, can be locally sourced and what is needed most. As starvation spread throughout the region and lives were lost, MATW has been consistently cooking and serving 100,000 meals every single weekend to help tackle hunger, starvation and malnutrition. In addition to this, we're also delivering food packs, urgent formula and baby milk to help new mothers, babies and children.

Our MATW team has also put together an Emergency Relief Bundle that includes 1 Hygiene Kit, a Warm Blanket and a Food Pack containing 2kg Rice, 2kg Flour, 2kg Lentils, 2kg Sugar, 1 litre Vegetable Oil, 6 units × 400g Canned Food (beans/chickpeas/tuna mix), 1kg Salt, 2 x 100g Tea and 2 x 400g Tomato Paste Sachets to help displaced families as they try to determine what lies ahead. Help us distribute these urgent items. Donate Now and give families in Gaza hope for a brighter future.

Our current Nourish Gaza initiative is a lifeline YOU can carry during this desperate time. Fresh lamb and cow meat are sacrificed and delivered under strict hygiene and religious standards, reaching families who have not tasted it throughout the conflict, not even for the yearly Qurban they once cherished. Alongside this, fresh fish and milk are provided for children whose growing bodies need protein to build immunity, while pregnant mothers, the elderly and the disabled are prioritised to ensure the most vulnerable are sustained. Help us nourish families in Gaza with your Sadaqah.

Our local teams inside Gaza procure, prepare and distribute the food directly to shelters, hospitals and refugee camps. This local delivery model overcomes border restrictions and ensures timely access to those most in need. Daily updates and reports confirm that every sacrifice is transformed into immediate relief, giving YOU - our donors - the confidence that your support is reaching families without delay.

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever relieves a believer's distress of the distressful aspects of this world, Allah will rescue him from a difficulty of the Hereafter." (Sahih Muslim)

The suffering and loss increases for our brothers and sisters in Gaza with each day that passes. You could be the answer to the dua of a mother who wishes to feed her starving child or a father who wishes to protect his family from the ongoing famine. Donate Now.

A Crisis Without Pause

This situation in Gaza is not a slow-moving tragedy. It is an accelerating disaster. The devastation is relentless. Food production has been destroyed. Hospitals are overwhelmed. Aid convoys face constant delays or blockades. The need is growing faster than urgent relief can reach them. Without intervention, more lives, especially young lives, will be lost.

YOU + MATW's Life-Saving Response

In the face of this crisis, MATW is delivering hot, nourishing meals directly to Gaza's most vulnerable people. Every weekend, our ground team is serving 100,000 hot meals including fresh meat, rice, and vegetables, cooked by trusted local kitchens and distributed to hospitals and critical communities across Gaza.The weekend of the anniversary, we served 200,000 hot meals with the help and support of our donors. These meals are more than food. They are a shield against starvation.

Because of the generosity of our donors, we have also been able to deliver 3,000 kilograms of flour to hungry families, helping them survive beyond the moment the meal ends. And alongside food, we are working tirelessly to supply clean, safe drinking water at a time where thirst is just as deadly as hunger.

Every meal, every bag of flour, every drop of water is a lifeline in the hands of someone who might not see another day without it.

Every Minute Counts

$150 AUD can provide hot meals for 10 people. That could mean saving 10 lives — and as Allah reminds us: "If you save one life, it is as if you have saved all of mankind" (Qur'an 5:32). Imagine the reward of standing between hunger and the helpless.
