Early in the morning, children ran through the streets of Gaza, empty containers in hand, eager to reach the water line before it grew long. Smiles and laughter filled the air as clean water began to flow a rare and deeply emotional moment for families who had gone days without it. Parents watched as containers filled, some holding back tears. The sound of running water meant safety, health, and a brief return to normal life. Thanks to the support of the Lily Jay Foundation,

In Gaza today, a piece of fruit can mean everything. When fresh fruit arrives, children’s eyes light up. For a brief moment, the weight of fear and hunger softens. The sweetness is familiar, comforting a reminder of life before uncertainty took over. For parents, offering fruit to their children is an act of love and protection when there is so little else they can control. Fruit is gentle nourishment for bodies worn down by stress and scarcity. For elders and the sick, it is

Today in Gaza, sharing food is more than a daily task it is an act of care and resilience. With limited access to supplies and constant uncertainty, meals are stretched, divided, and shared with intention. Neighbors coordinate. Families pool what little they have. Children are fed first. In these moments, food becomes dignity and connection, not just sustenance. At the Lily Jay Foundation, we support food sharing in Gaza with humility and professionalism, guided by local part

In Gaza, heavy rain is not a temporary inconvenience. It is a crisis layered onto an already impossible reality. The videos shared here show a tent surrounded by deep mud, the ground completely waterlogged, the interior overtaken by dirt and flooding. This is not an exceptional moment. It reflects the conditions many displaced families in Gaza face every time it rains. Tents placed on bare earth offer little protection. Without flooring, drainage, or insulation, rainwater has

Every day, our team "Lily Jay Foundation" continues to deliver life-saving water across Gaza, providing a critical lifeline for families enduring severe shortages. In a landscape marked by hardship and uncertainty, these daily deliveries are creating rare moments of hope especially for the children who gather eagerly as the water trucks arrive. In recent days, boys and girls could be seen rushing toward the distribution points, smiling with a relief that needs no words. Some

An initiative by the Lily Jay Foundation In the heart of Gaza, where homes stand in rubble, classrooms have turned to dust, and childhood has been interrupted by the sound of conflict, something beautiful is still growing. Hope. Faith. Light. And it begins with the words of Allah. Over recent weeks, the Lily Jay Foundation has been honoured to deliver Qurans directly into the hands of Gaza’s children. Many of these young boys and girls have lost everything, family members,

In the heart of Gaza, where dust and heat cling to every breath, thousands gather each day for one essential need: water. Mothers clutch their children tightly, elders lean on walking sticks for strength, and young boys weave through the crowd with empty jugs that feel heavier than their years. What should be a basic human right has become a daily struggle for survival. Through this harsh reality, our foundation stood on the ground, witnessing the urgency firsthand. Before da

After months of displacement, a Gaza family finally made the journey back to what used to be their home, hoping that the familiar sight of their doorway would offer a small sense of relief. Instead, they were confronted with a scene that felt almost unreal. The front door was barely hanging in place, the windows had been reduced to shards scattered across the floor, and every room was filled with dust, rubble, and the heavy silence that follows destruction. What had once been

When the aid fruits arrived in Gaza, the reaction was immediate children’s laughter rising like a spark in a place that desperately needs light. Their hands reached out, small and eager, as though each piece of fruit was more than food… it was a reminder that joy can still find them. One moment stood out quietly but powerfully: a young girl in a wheelchair holding a fruit against her chest. She wasn’t rushing, wasn’t lost in the crowd. She simply looked at it with a tendernes

The Lily Jay Foundation continued its regular operations in Gaza today, delivering hot meals to children who eagerly gathered at our distribution point. Our team, which visits the area very often, observed a high level of participation and a strong positive response from the community. Children began arriving early, forming an organized line and waiting with visible excitement. Their reactions reflected both anticipation and trust in the foundation’s ongoing presence. Many gr

Today, the Lily Jay Foundation installed a new tent for a family who has survived some of the hardest days imaginable two parents and their three young boys who have faced floods, displacement, and constant uncertainty in Gaza. When we reached them, their gratitude was deep and immediate. They shared how the floods had swept away what little stability they had left, and how being displaced again and again has tested their strength in every way. As the tent was set up, you co

Our foundation reached North Gaza with a new round of food aid, a small act, but one that meant everything to the children waiting for it. In a place where daily life is filled with struggle, the sight of children smiling again felt powerful. As we handed out the food packages, the children thanked us with a sincerity that stays with you. Their voices were soft but full of emotion, and their happiness was real. After everything they have endured, seeing them grateful for some

Food was the first thing on our minds today, food that families have been waiting for, food that brings comfort, strength, and a moment of relief, in Gaza. Our foundation delivered essential supplies to people who have been enduring long days with very little, and the impact was felt immediately. From early morning, crowds gathered patiently, holding onto the hope that today they would take home something that truly matters. Children stood beside their parents, quietly watchi

In the heart of Gaza, where every day is a test of strength, something beautiful happened. Our foundation arrived with one of the simplest gifts, fresh fruits. Nothing fancy. Nothing huge. Yet the impact was unforgettable. Children gathered quickly, forming long lines that stretched further than we expected. They teased each other, nudged their friends, and laughed in that innocent way only children can holding on to joy even when life around them is heavy. Their excitement w

Alhamdulillah, our team has been distributing urgent water aid across the strip delivering fresh drinking water to displaced families who have endured months of hardship. These moments remind us that even the simplest gift, a cup of water, can become a lifeline. And with your support, we’re able to keep showing up for them, one truck at a time.

In Gaza, a simple gesture can spark unforgettable moments. Recently, children in the community were gifted fresh fruits, apples, bananas, oranges, and strawberries by the Lily Jay Foundation, turning an ordinary day into one filled with laughter and joy. For many of these children, fresh fruit is a rare treat. Watching them bite into sweet apples, peel bananas, and share slices of juicy oranges, it was impossible not to feel the happiness radiating from their faces. Every smi

Gaza experienced flooding again today as even a small amount of rainfall led to significant disruption across several areas. Due to the lack of functioning infrastructure and proper drainage systems, rainwater accumulated quickly, turning roads into inaccessible pathways and surrounding displacement tents with mud and standing water. Our field team attempted to deliver assistance to families living in temporary shelters, but the trucks were unable to reach the designated loca

Even as the rain poured over North Gaza, hope found its way to families in need. Today, water aid reached communities struggling with shortages, bringing relief to children and adults alike. Small bottles were filled, buckets carried, and the joy of receiving clean water shone brighter than the stormy skies above. For the people here, each drop of water is more than just hydration it is comfort, dignity, and a reminder that even in the harshest conditions, help can arrive. Th
