No Home nor Peace: Barely Surviving the Endless Attacks on Gaza
On World Refugee Day, a mother and her children from Gaza reveal the crushing reality of displacement: a battle for survival and hope.
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in Gaza, yet thousands of patients cannot access proper treatment.
Only half of Gaza’s hospitals are partially operational, making it nearly impossible to get life-saving care. Most patients cannot leave Gaza for treatment, meaning we must bring the care to them.
We are working with local hospitals and the Palestinian Ministry of Health to restore and enhance existing cardiac care services. This means:
With your support, Islamic Relief Australia is committed to providing essential heart care where it’s needed most.
This project will rebuild and rehabilitate existing cardiac services, ensuring long-term, sustainable healthcare for the people of Gaza.
Gaza endured over 20 months of massacre and misery. With no permanent ceasefire in sight, airstrikes continue to rain on Gaza.
The death toll climbs to over 55,104 Palestinians killed in Gaza since October 2023, with a heartbreaking 17,121 children and 9,126 women among the casualties.
Over 132,458 people, at least, have been injured. More than 11,200 people are missing, with 70% of them being children and women.
The suffering of the people also continues. Approximately 1.9 million people (90% of the population) are displaced. They live in horrific conditions with little food, water, or sanitation.
Gaza is also in ruins, with over 87% of homes, 85% of schools, and 65% of roads damaged or destroyed. Only 38% of 564 health service points across Gaza are functional, all of them partially. Overall, the situation remains a crisis in need of dire attention.
Islamic Relief Australia is dedicated to providing life-saving medical aid to vulnerable communities.
Right now, thousands of people in Gaza urgently need specialised heart care, but the healthcare system is in crisis. Hospitals are struggling with severe shortages of medical resources, outdated equipment, and a lack of trained specialists.
Together with the Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association (PANZMA), Islamic Relief Australia is leading an urgent effort to restore and strengthen Gaza’s cardiac services. As well as the healthcare system in general.
Heart disease is a leading cause of death in Gaza, yet access to specialised cardiac care is severely limited. With hospitals facing shortages of equipment, medication, and trained specialists, thousands of patients cannot receive the treatment they need.

On May 15 we commemorate Nakba Day, mourning the ongoing atrocities Palestinians face. Here we look at the day’s origins and significance.
Gaza is in the grip of starvation. 2 months of Israel’s total closure have left markets empty and famine conditions spreading.
