Urgent Appeal
Help Us Bring Relief to Gaza, Yemen, and Syria
"And whoever saves one life, it is as if they have saved all of humanity." (Quran 5:32) Assalamu Alaikum
At Mercy For Mankind, our hearts are heavy as we witness the unimaginable suffering and devastation in Gaza, Yemen, and Syria. The innocent men, women, and children in these regions are enduring relentless hardships, their lives torn apart by conflict, displacement, and a dire lack of basic necessities. Today, we urgently call upon your compassion and generosity to help us bring relief to these suffering souls.
Gaza: A Cry for Help
The people of Gaza are trapped in a cycle of violence and despair. The relentless bombings have left countless families homeless, without food, water, or medical care. Hospitals are overwhelmed, and children are living in constant fear. They need your help to survive and rebuild their lives.
Imagine the wail of air raid sirens constantly ringing in your ears as bombs reincarnate all around you. This is the horrific reality for nearly 2 million people, including over 800,000 children, trapped in Gaza under Israeli siege. Decades of conflict have destroyed homes, hospitals, schools and essential infrastructure, creating an uninhabitable open-air prison.
Over half of Gaza's population suffers from food insecurity. Malnutrition stunts the growth of 1 in 4 children in some areas. Mothers are overcome with despair watching their babies become skeletal, too weak to even cry from hunger. "My only wish is to be able to give my children enough to eat," pleads one distraught parent.
Clean water is nearly unattainable, with a staggering 97% of Gaza's supply contaminated and unsafe for drinking. Sewage floods the streets, spawning disease and perpetuating this perpetual cycle of crisis. Medical facilities have been decimated, and those remaining are ill-equipped to treat even basic conditions. With nowhere to turn for care, far too many Gazans tragically succumb to preventable illnesses.
Yemen: A Forgotten Crisis
Yemen is enduring one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time. Years of conflict have pushed millions to the brink of famine. Children are starving, and diseases like cholera are rampant due to the lack of clean water and healthcare. Yemeni families are crying out for food, medical aid, and hope for a better future.
Yemen's Forgotten Children
Over 8 years of civil war have plunged Yemen into the world's worst humanitarian catastrophe, with a staggering 17.4 million people requiring emergency aid to survive. The nation has become a living nightmare for its most vulnerable - its children.
One innocent child in Yemen dies every 10 minutes from preventable causes like malnutrition, diarrhea and respiratory disease. Over 2.2 million children under 5 are projected to suffer from acute malnutrition this year, leaving them up to 9 times more likely to die from disease or starvation. UNICEF has called Yemen a "children's crisis" as over 10,000 kids have been killed or injured in the conflict.
Just imagine their tiny bodies weakened beyond repair from lack of food and medical treatment, bellies bloated from severe malnutrition. These innocent young lives hang by a thread while bullets and bombs continue raining down, ripping families apart. Children make up at least half of Yemen's 4.8 million internally displaced - torn from their homes, communities and any sense of security.
The once-vibrant hopes and dreams of Yemen's youth have descended into a nightmarish fight for survival. How many more children must die before the world takes action?
Syria: Enduring Agony
After years of brutal conflict, Syria remains a landscape of shattered lives and communities. Refugees and internally displaced families are struggling to survive in makeshift shelters. They are in desperate need of food, water, healthcare, and education for their children. Your support can give them a chance to heal and rebuild.
Syria's Ceaseless Nightmare
More than a decade of ruthless civil war has decimated Syria, creating a humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions. Over 14.6 million Syrians require urgent humanitarian assistance, and nearly half are children paying the ultimate price for the cruelties of adults.
Imagine your child terrified by the deafening blasts of shelling and gunfire that plague their days and haunts their dreams. Now picture them weakened from severe malnutrition and untreated injuries, with little access to food, clean water or medical care. This is the heartbreaking reality for millions of Syria's youngest civilians.
The war has laid cities and towns to rubble, destroying homes, hospitals, schools and lives. Over half of Syria's health facilities are non-functioning and 6.9 million people lack access to clean drinking water. Starvation stalks overcrowded displacement camps where children have little chance of receiving the nutrition required for healthy development.
An entire generation has their future jeopardized after missing out on years of education as violence ravages their communities. Many have known nothing but conflict since birth. Syria's children desperately need our help to survive, recover and reclaim the promise of childhood.
The people of Gaza, Yemen and Syria have suffered through far too many years of unrelenting trauma and loss. Our common humanity compels us to take action to end their anguish. Please give generously today to provide emergency food, clean water, medical aid and supportive services to these vulnerable populations. No aid can undo their pain, but your donation offers hope that their future will be brighter than their heartbreaking pasts.
