Give Qurbani in Gaza 2026

 

Please note that Qurbani can only be carried out during a specific three-day period. If you wish to donate outside of this period, you can give a hot meal.


People in Gaza are experiencing severe food insecurity, with access to meat increasingly rare. This has caused malnutrition and children to fall ill due to hunger. For many, Qurbani is the only time of year they can access meat. GRF is distributing Qurbani meat to families in Gaza. Help communities experience the blessings of Eid and give their share today.
