From Canada to Gaza: Ramadan Relief Supported by Arab and Muslim Communities

Canadian Islamic charities are ramping up efforts to support Gaza residents facing severe humanitarian crises as Ramadan approaches.

As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Islamic charities and organizations in Canada are intensifying their relief efforts targeting the residents of Gaza, who are enduring persistent humanitarian crises due to ongoing violence and blockades. The efforts are particularly focused on addressing acute hunger, severe shortages of essential supplies such as food, medicine, and medical necessities, stemming from the prolonged Israeli offensive that has lasted over two years.

In Calgary, Alberta, various charitable organizations have launched extensive fundraising campaigns aimed at enhancing humanitarian support for Gaza's residents. These initiatives include providing immediate food aid, temporary shelter, and medical care necessary for coping with the dire conditions in the region. The response from local communities, especially among Arab and Muslim populations, highlights a unified commitment to assist those in need, showcasing the solidarity across borders in times of crisis.

One notable event organized by the charity 'Human Concern International' in Calgary gathered members from the Arab and Muslim communities, Canadian civil society activists, and families who had fled Gaza amidst the violence. The gathering showcased video presentations of the charity's ongoing projects in Gaza and demonstrated a successful fundraising effort that raised 100,000 Canadian dollars. This reflects both the urgency of the situation in Gaza and the generous response from communities abroad, aiming to make a tangible difference during the holy month.
