A Bowl of Warmth in a Time of Cold: Lentil Soup for Ali's Family

By MUHAMMED DEEBEH | Project leader

Dear Supporter 

Amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, our field teams continue their daily efforts to provide essential support to displaced families. Among the most vital needs is the provision of hot meals, which bring warmth and dignity to those enduring extreme hardship.

Thanks to your generous contributions, we were able this week to provide a hot lentil soup meal to the family of the child Ali, who is currently residing in a temporary shelter in Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, in northern Gaza.


Case Overview:
Ali lives with his parents and siblings in a small, overcrowded room within the shelter, after being forced to flee their home due to the recent escalation.
The family is struggling with severe food shortages and has limited access to nutritious meals, especially for the children.


Our Response:

  • A hot lentil soup meal was distributed to each member of the family, prepared with care and in accordance with health and safety standards.
  • The meal offered immediate relief, particularly since the family lacks any means for cooking inside the shelter.
  • The children expressed genuine joy in receiving a warm meal—a rare comfort in their current circumstances.

Impact of the Donation:
Ali’s father shared:

"In times like these, a warm meal means the world to us... It reminded me that there are still people who care about me and my children."

This simple meal was much more than food—it was a message of solidarity, a moment of care reaching a family fighting to survive.


Thank You.
You are making a real difference. With every meal delivered, a family feels seen, children feel comforted, and hope is kept alive.

Thank you for standing with us—and with them.
Together, we feed the hungry and keep humanity alive.
