Moonlight Trust – Gaza November Update

Families across Gaza have been forcibly diplaced, many left without food, water, or shelter. Despite the siege and ongoing bombardments, our brave volunteers continue to deliver life-saving aid across Gaza.

Thanks to your ongoing support we have:

✅ Delivered essential food packs to starving families

🍼 Provided baby formula for infants in urgent need

💧 Supplied clean water to prevent dehydration and disease

🏕️ Launched our Tent Project, setting up emergency shelters for displaced families

🚨 The need is greater than ever. Delivering aid under fire is dangerous — but we will not stop.

💚 Help us keep families alive.

Celebrating the Final Phase of the Green Deen Project! 🌿

We’re so excited to share this special video marking the completion of our Green Deen Project — a heartfelt initiative rooted in faith, community, and care for creation. 💚

Over 350 people — mainly children and young people — have taken part in Moonlight Trust’s Green Deen journey. From local schools and mosques to Moonlight Youth Ambassadors and children in special education, everyone has enjoyed hands-on experiences in nature, learning about environmental stewardship through the lens of deen (faith) and fitrah (our natural state). 🌱

We’ve enhanced local park space at DCP with three new bridges, Moonlight Walk pathways, and new signage — making the area safer, more accessible, and more welcoming for all.

💚 A huge thank you to Park Officer Andrew — your partnership has helped bring this vision to life!

Our project has been featured on BBC Look North and Iqra TV, and we’ve delivered free masterclasses across schools, mosques, and businesses — exploring how faith, biodiversity, and climate action unite to protect our shared home.

Let’s continue to inspire our communities to cherish and protect the beauty of God’s creation. 🌎

A huge thank you to all the partners and collaborators.

On this blessed Friday and every day, your support is very much needed to provide urgent water aid.

They ask you what they (should) spend. Say, "Whatever you spend of good, (is) for parents, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the needy, and (of) the wayfarer. And whatever you do of good. So indeed, Allah of it (is) All-Aware. JZK Allah to all those who have supported. https://www.moonlighttrust.org.uk/donate

Another water and food distribution completed — Thank You for Standing with Gaza

With the grace of God almighty and with your unwavering support, we’ve successfully completed another aid distribution for our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our courageous volunteers — individuals who are exhausted, grieving, and risking their lives daily to serve others. Their resilience in the face of unimaginable trauma is nothing short of heroic.

In the dark you are providing light!

Despite relentless airstrikes, a worsening blockade, and destroyed infrastructure, our mission in Gaza carries on.

Through local networks, we’ve sourced all aid from within Gaza — purchased directly from Palestinian merchants and markets. This approach not only ensures faster delivery but also preserves dignity and supports the local economy.

Throughout April, May, and June, our brave volunteers have delivered hot meals, hygiene packs, and clean water to Gaza’s most vulnerable families. Each distribution is more than just material aid — it is a lifeline, a symbol of solidarity, and a beacon of hope.

While we live in relative safety and comfort, the people of Gaza continue to endure unimaginable suffering. Every donation you make saves lives.

This Ramadan, we have been delivering dry food packs, hot meals, and water tanker deliveries, alongside our Women’s Bread Project, to support those in urgent need. But our efforts do not stop with Ramadan—we are committed to continuing this vital work.

As another blessed Friday arrives, the situation on the ground in Gaza is becoming unbearable. Families are struggling to access food and clean water. We urgently ask for your support—whether big or small—to sustain our Water & Bread Project.

The Water Crisis in Gaza

The people of Gaza face a severe water crisis, with many families unable to access clean and safe drinking water. Damage to infrastructure, scarce resources, and ongoing challenges have made survival increasingly difficult.

Last week, we launched our Water Project in Gaza to deliver clean, safe water to affected communities—helping improve health and restore dignity to those in need.

Your Donations Make a Difference

From the first day of Ramadan, our dedicated volunteers have worked tirelessly to prepare and deliver food packs to families in Gaza. Thanks to your generosity, we have already made an impact—but the need is still overwhelming.

£50 can feed a family of five for an entire week—just £10 per person

£50 can provide clean drinking water for an entire month

As we gather with loved ones this Ramadan, millions in Gaza struggle for survival. We can not turn away.
Since February 2023, your donations have:

✅ Provided hot meals and food packs to families facing hunger

✅ Supplied blankets and clothing to those braving harsh conditions

✅ Supported children’s activities, bringing hope amid hardship

We have intensified our efforts this Ramadan—but we need your help.

Hot off the press!

Ramadan is not just about abstaining—it is about becoming. A shedding. A refining. A return.

To fast is to quiet the body so the soul can speak. To still the mind so the heart can listen. To empty oneself, not in lack, but in devotion—so that what is divine may pour in.

This is not a hunger of deprivation; it is a hunger that nourishes. A hunger for clarity, for closeness, for remembrance.

For in the stillness of dawn, in the hush before sunset, in the space between desire and discipline—God is there.

There are only a few days yo gain the rewards. May this Ramadan strip away what is not you. May it soften the places that have hardened. May it renew your spirit, cleanse your thoughts, and expand your heart.

Walk gently. Fast with love. And remember: the breaking of the fast is not just with food—it is with grace, with forgiveness, with mercy.

This is the doorway. Step through.

✨ Ramadan Mubarak.
