About the Cause
Gaza in Our Hearts is a Ramadan fundraising campaign by Dubai Cares that aims to support the people of Gaza with emergency relief aid including: Hot Meals Distribution, Food Basket Distribution and Emergency Shelter Tents.
To ensure the prompt and efficient supply of this emergency relief, we have partnered with Anera who are working closely with UN, diplomatic and non-governmental organization partners to open aid corridors to enable it to urgently deliver life-saving aid.
Through your generosity and compassion, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by the humanitarian crisis. Together, let us stand in solidarity with Gaza and demonstrate that hope and compassion know no borders.
My Story
Unfortunately, on October 21, 2023, my world came crashing down. The devastating impact of the conflict stripped away everything dear to me: my university, which witnessed countless cherished moments and served as a sanctuary for ambitious minds; my memories and friends; and parts of my family home that were destroyed by war. War knows no mercy, as it destroys structures and lives indiscriminately. Standing amidst the rubble of my university and once vibrant home, I felt the weight of loss for every cherished memory and shattered dream buried beneath the debris. Gaza, my beloved city, now lies in ruins and deprivation. Basic necessities like food and water have become luxuries, as many of us endure long lines for contaminated water and makeshift cooking arrangements amid the rubble.
