And that’s not all, our Community has even more to celebrate: 🎉

  1. From London to Birmingham, York to Leicester, Peterborough to Northampton, and beyond, we’ve had Snowdon Trek participants from all over!

With Ramadan right around the corner, we know donations are still pouring in, especially for those Trekkers close to their personal fundraising targets. So let’s keep spreading the word and raising awareness to reach those goals. We’ll make sure to allocate a second round of donations to Gaza near the end of Ramadan, inshaAllah.

Emergency Aid Palestine Appeal Update

Alhamdulillah, through the mercy and blessings of Allah Almighty, our brother Yusuf was able to distribute your Amanah. The temporary ceasefire provided a window of opportunity, and we seized it to deliver the Emergency Food Parcels to those in need.

Please continue to keep the people of Gaza in your prayers.

JazaakAllah Khair for your unwavering support!

MKCT working with GRT to deliver Vital Equipment to Gaza

Asalaamualaikum everyone,

MKCT (Muslim Kumbhar Community Trust) and GRT (Global Relief Trust) have been on an extraordinary journey to deliver 8 Ambulances and 2 Fire Truck convoys to Gaza. The dedicated volunteers leading this mission have shown unwavering commitment, self-funding their trip, and dedicating their time to ensure that every donated penny directly supports the cause in Gaza.

The journey from Berlin to Turkey, spanning three to four days, involved traversing multiple countries. However, a critical update at the Turkish border last night highlighted the challenges they faced. The team endured extensive 16-hour border checks, including people and vehicle x-rays, along with rigorous documentation and interviews to validate the mission’s purpose and objectives. These obstacles underscore the dedication and determination of the team to overcome hurdles in their path.

As the situation on the ground in Gaza remains perilous due to the ongoing ground invasion and intense bombing, humanitarian corridors have been closed. Nevertheless, the team is collaborating closely with the Turkish Red Crescent in Ankara and Istanbul to ensure that the vehicles can be deployed to Gaza at the earliest opportunity.

Your support through donations and prayers is invaluable. Please continue to share updates and contribute as much as you can afford to this noble cause. JazaakAllah khair for your generosity and duas.
