Ahmad is just ten years old. But his eyes carry the weight of someone far older. In his short life, he has never known true peace. For years, Gaza has been caught in a relentless cycle of conflict, destruction, and survival. Bombs fall without warning. Electricity is a luxury. Clean water is scarce. And food?
Often, just a memory of better days.
This year, as Eid al-Adha draws near, there is no excitement. No scent of grilled meat wafting through the streets. No laughter of children preparing for Eid clothes. Ahmad doesn’t ask for toys. He asks if he’ll eat.
For the past many years, the people of Gaza have faced unimaginable hardship. Homes
turned to rubble. Schools targeted. Hospitals overwhelmed. And yet, they continue to live — holding onto faith, to family, and to the hope that the outside world has not forgotten them.
This is where your Qurban comes in.
When you choose to perform your Qurban for Gaza, you are doing more than fulfilling a religious obligation. You are
reaching across borders and barbed wire, beyond politics and blockades — into the heart of a mother trying to feed her child. Into the hands of a humanitarian risking their life to deliver a single can of meat to a family in hiding.
Your sheep will be slaughtered in a safe country and processed immediately. The meat will be carefully canned — a method that allows it to be preserved for months. These cans will be
shipped and delivered to trusted humanitarian workers on the ground in Gaza, who distribute them directly to families most in need.
In a place where fresh meat is a rare luxury and supply chains are often cut off, canned Qurban meat is not just a meal. It’s a message. It says: You matter. You are not alone. The Ummah has not forgotten you.
Imagine the joy of a child opening that can. The relief of a mother knowing her children will eat that day. The strength it gives a father to keep going, knowing strangers across the sea care enough to send sustenance and support.
This Eid, your sacrifice has the power to reach places you cannot go. To enter homes you’ve never seen. To touch hearts you may never meet.
Let your Qurban do more than just fulfill a duty. Let it carry hope. Let it send a message of unity. Let it become a lifeline.
Let your Qurban reach Gaza.
