This winter in Gaza began with heavy rains and heartbreaking scenes. Families already displaced by years of conflict now face flooding, disease, and freezing temperatures all while living under makeshift tents. Most of Gaza’s population has been forced from their homes. Now, with winter storms, their temporary shelters are collapsing under rainwater. Many tents are filled with sewage-soaked puddles. Parents are watching their children fall sick, without clean water, warm blan

This week, rain finally fell over Gaza. Alhamdulillah! However... For families living in tents, the rain was both a blessing and a hardship. The downpour was heavy. Tents flooded. Bedding got soaked. Children shivered as water ran underneath them. Plus, no way to collect the rainwater to drink, despite the desperate need for clean water. Alhamdulillah for the rain… but for families here, it brought no relief. The people continue to endure with sabr that leaves us humbled. May

We had just sent a truck full of water to Gaza. Every drop counted families were waiting, lining up with empty bottles, hoping to quench their thirst. But then… the truck emptied. The water was gone. And in that instant, desperation took over. People began to fight. Not out of anger, but out of survival. Mothers clutched their children, tears streaming down their faces. Men shouted in fear and frustration. Children cried out, reaching for the last remaining drops. The scene w

Today, Gaza felt a little brighter. When our food aid arrived, the streets usually heavy with silence began to fill with soft laughter and curious footsteps. Children hurried forward, eyes shining with a kind of hope that has been waiting quietly inside them for far too long. The moment they opened the boxes, everything changed. Their smiles grew wide, their voices louder, their spirits lighter. It was as if, for a little while, the weight of the past months lifted, replaced

Today, the streets of Gaza were alive with laughter and joy. Thanks to the Lily Jay Foundation, clean drinking water reached families who have gone too long without it. Children ran with bottles in hand, their faces lighting up with wonder and relief. Mothers watched with tears, grateful for a small but monumental moment of safety and care. This was more than water. It was life, dignity, and a message that no one is forgotten. Every drop delivered by the Lily Jay Foundation c

Clean water is life and in Gaza, it remains a precious, scarce resource. Today, the Lily Jay Foundation delivered vital water aid to families who rely on this support every day. Our team arrived with trucks full of clean water, reaching parents, children, and elders who wait patiently to refill their bottles and containers. Every drop brings relief, comfort, and a sense of hope to communities that continue to rebuild their lives amidst challenging conditions. Seeing children

Today our team "Lily Jay Foundation", marked the beginning of something that Gaza has waited for far too long: the slow, painful, necessary process of cleaning up a city shattered by war. Every street our team stepped into told the same story buildings torn open, homes collapsed, metal twisted into shapes that don’t look real. The destruction is overwhelming. It stretches as far as the eye can see, and the weight of it is impossible to ignore. As the cleanup began, one discov

In Gaza, where survival has become a daily battle, even water the most basic human need has turned into a rare treasure. Families are forced to walk long distances just to find a few drops safe enough to drink, while the sounds of conflict echo through what’s left of their homes. On November 5, 2025, the Lily Jay Foundation reached Gaza with a truck filled with clean water and compassion. Our team crossed through devastation to deliver relief to families who had been left wit

For the fourth day in a row, Gaza awoke to the sound of explosions instead of silence. What was meant to be a fragile cease fire turned once again into tragedy as Israeli airstrikes hit the northern Gaza Strip on Friday, killing three Palestinians, according to the local health authorities. Residents describe a night filled with fear the roar of jets overhead, the shaking of buildings, and the cries that follow. These were ordinary families, already displaced and struggling t

On October 28, 2025, the Lily Jay Foundation proudly sent another truck of clean water into Gaza, carrying not only relief but also love and solidarity for families who continue to endure unthinkable challenges. For countless people in Gaza, every drop of water is precious. With so much of the local infrastructure destroyed, the simple act of having clean water to drink or cook with has become a daily struggle. This delivery brought thousands of litres of hope — refreshing he

In Gaza today, clean water has become a luxury. Families line up for hours, children carry heavy containers, and hospitals struggle to find enough water for even the most basic needs. That’s why we launched the Sponsor a Water Truck Initiative . A direct, life-saving way to bring water to families who need it most. Every sponsorship sends a full truck of clean, drinkable water straight into Gaza’s most affected communities. When you sponsor a water truck, you’re not just do

In Gaza, something as simple as chocolate has become a distant memory. But this week, the Lily Jay Foundation brought that memory back, one sweet smile at a time. When our team handed out chocolate to the children, it wasn’t just candy. It was joy. It was hope. It was the first taste of childhood many had felt in months. The sound of laughter, the sparkle in their eyes, and the way they held those chocolates tightly, as if holding onto a dream, said it all. In a world where s

On October 18, 2025, the Lily Jay Foundation successfully delivered a water truck aid to the people of Gaza, continuing our mission to bring relief, dignity, and hope to those in need. For many families in Gaza, access to clean water remains one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges. With damaged infrastructure and limited resources, every delivery makes a meaningful difference. This latest mission provided thousands of litres of clean drinking water to families in ar

This month, the Lily Jay Foundation distributed over 500,000 litres of clean water to families in desperate need. For many, this water meant survival. A chance to drink, cook, make Wudu and live with dignity once more. Water isn’t a luxury; it’s a basic human right . Yet for too many, especially in war-torn regions like Gaza, access to clean water remains a daily struggle. Even with talk of ceasefires, the suffering hasn’t ended. Homes are still destroyed, wells remain dry

The recent ceasefire has brought a moment of silence to Gaza but silence doesn’t mean safety, and peace doesn’t mean recovery. Yes, the bombs have stopped (for now), but the struggle continues. Entire neighborhoods lie in ruins. Wells are contaminated. Families still walk miles just to find a drop of clean water or a small bag of flour. Hospitals remain overwhelmed, and children are growing up surrounded by rubble instead of classrooms. Our team is still on the ground in Gaza

Even though a ceasefire has been announced, Gaza is still suffering deeply. The bombs may have paused, but the pain has not. Families are still living in ruins, children are still thirsty, and clean water is still hard to find. Let’s be honest about what’s really happening. Gaza’s Water System Is Broken The water crisis in Gaza didn’t start today, but the war has made it much worse. Many wells, water pipes, and desalination plants have been destroyed. Without working systems,
