The conflict in Gaza has placed a heavy burden on children and young people. Over 8,000 orphaned children are living in dire conditions across the West Bank and Gaza. Sadly, orphaned children living with or without carers, often struggle the most with building sustainable, secure futures for themselves. With our restricted Gaza orphan fund, we have supported two orphaned children living in the Gaza Strip. We continue to offer care for 14 year-old Yousef and 17 year-old Seraj.

“I passed through so many difficult times when my husband died. We did not have a stable income, and we used to rely on charitable aid. Thanks to Allah, my children got sponsored by IWF, which helps cover their basic needs.” – Yousef’s mother

Seraj, will join high school this year meanwhile she’s considered as an intelligent student who likes scientific subjects but she needs remedial lessons with physics and English to enhance her level.
