MTJ foundation, founded by Maulana Tariq Jamil, has set up a relief fund for the families in Gaza, working closely with local NGOs to ensure timely delivery of aid to those in need.

A press release by the foundation said that it was working “tirelessly to provide critical aid and relief to those in need, utilising the principles of Zakat and Sadaqah to uplift the community”.

“Relief items are bought from Egypt and packed into containers there and are then taken inside Gaza with the help of their partner local NGO’s,” the statement read.

The organisation stated that it was focusing on the urgent needs of Palestinians with a priority given to the distribution of basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter, adding that that they had also begun to distribute hot food to the refugees.

The press release stated that each food pack included ready-to-eat meat, honey, dates, cheese, tuna, and salt, alongside flour bags and water containers.

The foundation urged the importance of generosity, stating that the foundation looked towards the “collective compassion and support of individuals” to help them provide relief to the people in Gaza.

The press statement urged, “Join MTJ Foundation in the mission by donating to Gaza and bring light to their darkest hours.”
