Palestine

Hope is returning to Gaza. After years of hardship, a gentle light is beginning to shine again in Gaza – a light of mercy and hope. The work to reach families in need, to restore homes, to rebuild health centers, and to nurture the spirit of a community begins now and with us.  We must never stop believing in a brighter tomorrow.

At UMR, we see this moment as a blessing and a responsibility. With humanitarian access expanding, our teams are working hand in hand with local partners to support and rebuild lives with dignity, compassion, and care. Guided by faith and the belief that mercy and service are among the highest forms of worship, we are determined to help Gaza heal and rise again.

This is a time for all of us to come together, to mend broken hearts, bring back smiles, and remind the people of Gaza that they are not alone in their effort to piece their lives back together. Their steadfastness inspires us all, and their future depends on our shared humanity and compassion.

The future of Gaza and its children is in our hands. Together, with faith and hope, we can lift Gaza.

With gratitude and peace,
Dr. Abed Ayoub, President & CEO

Humanitarian Needs

The project aims to mitigate shortages of essential medications such as antibiotics, painkillers, chronic disease treatments, vaccines, and mental health medications urgently needed to address conditions worsened by the ongoing conflict.

Additionally, UMR will sustain food aid distribution by locally mobilizing essential food supplies and will continue water trucking services to ensure access to clean drinking water for affected families.

By maintaining consistent healthcare access particularly for women, children, the elderly, and those with chronic illnesses this project strives to alleviate suffering and improve overall health outcomes in the conflict impacted regions.

The project will directly benefit around 1.6 million individuals, including internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities in the Middle and South Governorates of Gaza. Priority will be given to vulnerable groups such as children, women, the elderly, and individuals with chronic illnesses.

UMR is part of a wide coalition delivering emergency aid to Gaza.

Gaza Water trucking

In Gaza, families are facing a water crisis like never before. Ongoing bombings, electricity shortages, and the blockade have destroyed water infrastructure—leaving over 90% of the available water unfit for human consumption (UN OCHA, 2024).

 

Children in shelters. Patients in hospitals. Entire families living in overcrowded camps. They all rely on clean water not just for comfort, but for basic survival.

 

UMR is responding by trucking clean, safe water directly to hospitals, shelters, and displaced communities. We install high-capacity storage tanks and work with trusted local partners to ensure safe sourcing, hygiene monitoring, and reliable community access.

 

Your donation today will directly support:

Clean water deliveries to high-need communities.
Storage tanks placed in schools, hospitals, and camps.
Hygiene and safety standards in every step of delivery.
Water access that meets international humanitarian standards.

Gaza Qurbani 2025

UMR has prepared and canned Qurbani meat for families in Gaza—ensuring it is preserved safely and can be stored for the difficult days ahead. The animals were sacrificed during the sacred days of Eid al-Adha and in full accordance with Islamic standards, honoring the spirit and sanctity of this important tradition.

 

Now, through a partnership with the Hashemite Charity Organization, this meat is being handed over for distribution to families in need across Gaza. As the suffering in Gaza continues, UMR remains deeply committed to reaching those in need with dignity and compassion. Your Qurbani is more than a meal—it’s a message of solidarity, a reminder that they are not alone, and a symbol of hope in one of the world’s most desperate humanitarian crises.

Impact in Numbers

UMR’s efforts have benefited approximately 1.6 million individuals, including internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities in Gaza’s Middle and South Governorates. Vulnerable populations, including orphans, children, women, the elderly, and individuals with chronic illnesses, were prioritized in all our interventions.

Collaboration with Partners

Through close collaboration with local and international partners, UMR maximized the impact of its resources to ensure aid reached those most in need.

Employment Opportunities

UMR created jobs for 31 young men and women from the displaced population, providing them with much-needed income and a sense of stability amid adversity.

Healthcare Support

UMR has provided vital medical supplies to three major hospitals in Gaza, benefiting over 25,650 patients and strengthening the Ministry of Health’s capacity to deliver essential services. In partnership with Quest Scope, we shipped 100 infant incubators to ensure the survival of newborns in critical care.

Medical Support

In partnership with local organizations, UMR is actively addressing this need by delivering vital pharmaceuticals and medical supplies to 12 primary healthcare centers (PHCs) and medical points across the Middle and South Governorates of the Gaza Strip. UMR’s Gaza relief initiative, in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders, seeks to continue providing critical medical services, supplies, and pharmaceuticals, bolstering the capacity of these 12 healthcare facilities. The project aims to mitigate shortages of essential medications such as antibiotics, painkillers, chronic disease treatments, vaccines, and mental health medications—urgently needed to address conditions worsened by the ongoing conflict.

Infant Formula

UMR supported mothers and their children in Gaza by providing infant formula to ensure that babies receive the essential nutrition needed for healthy growth and development. This initiative is part of UMR’s commitment to addressing the nutritional needs of the most vulnerable populations.

Water Trucking

Addressing severe water shortages in southern Gaza, UMR provided regular water trucking services to 300 households, delivering a vital resource for daily survival.

Food Security

To combat acute food insecurity, UMR distributed thousands of hot meals and food baskets to over 10,000 displaced and impoverished individuals, ensuring they had access to nutritious meals during challenging times.

Winterization Efforts

To protect vulnerable families during the harsh winter months, UMR distributed essential winter items to 2,000 families, prioritizing their safety and well-being.

Sustaining Essential Services
