FAQ'S
Frequently Asked Questions
Who exactly benefits from this appeal?
The families of doctors, nurses, ambulance crews, pharmacists, and other healthcare workers in Gaza who have been killed while serving their communities. Each verified family receives monthly financial support to help meet basic needs including food, water, medication, and shelter.
How is each family verified?
We employ two field verifiers based in Gaza who conduct comprehensive verification processes. This includes desk checks on all families and risk-based spot-checks to ensure authenticity. Each family’s connection to a deceased healthcare worker is thoroughly documented before they receive support.
How do families actually receive the money?
Funds are distributed through an approved, secure payout service that operates in Gaza. This ensures families can safely access their monthly £100 stipend despite the challenging circumstances and restricted access in the region.
Will I receive updates on how my donation helps?
Yes. All supporters receive regular updates on the programme’s impact. We provide quarterly reports showing how funds are distributed and share stories from the families receiving support. Our online portal also displays real-time updates on families’ situations and payment distributions.
Is this donation Zakat eligible?
Absolutely. This programme is fully Zakat eligible. Widows and orphans are specifically mentioned as deserving categories in Islamic law for receiving Zakat. By giving your Zakat to this cause, you fulfil your religious obligation while supporting those in desperate need.
How much support does each family receive?
Each verified family receives £100 per month, distributed through our approved payout service. This regular monthly support helps them cover essentials such as food, clean water, medication, baby items, and shelter costs.
Can I specify which family receives my donation?
Individual family allocation is managed through our verification and distribution system to ensure fairness and proper oversight. However, you can request updates on the overall programme and see how your donation contributes to supporting all verified families through our regular reporting.
What makes this different from other Gaza appeals?
This programme specifically honours the sacrifice of healthcare workers who gave their lives serving their communities. It provides targeted, ongoing support to their bereaved families rather than general emergency aid. The monthly stipend model creates stability and dignity rather than one-time crisis relief.
