Palestine: The Need For Aid 
  Despite recent border closures and travel restrictions, Islamic Relief remains one of the few aid agencies actively distributing emergency aid to Palestinians. 
  Since the Gaza power plant shutdown on January 20th, Islamic Relief has provided Palestinian families with hygiene kits, kitchen sets, blankets, food packages and water.
 During the week of January 22nd to the 27th, Islamic Relief distributed $40,000 worth of medical disposables to Gaza's hospitals, arranged $600,000 worth of necessary food items and distributed over 5,000 blankets to needy families in Gaza. An additional 12 truck-loads of aid are currently being distributed, with another 10,000 food packages being packed and readied for distribution over the next few days. 
 Islamic Relief is doing everything it can to help the Palestinians during this dire humanitarian crisis. But, more help is needed from generous donors like you.
 Islamic Relief has launched a close to $10 million appeal to provide food, healthcare, and shelter in the worst-affected areas. Your help is desperately needed.
