Efforts to support access to clean water in Gaza are continuing through humanitarian coordination involving organizations such as WaterAid and the LilyJay Foundation. Ongoing damage to water infrastructure, combined with power shortages and limited access to repair materials, has reduced water production and distribution capacity across the territory. Aid activities focus on sustaining essential water, sanitation, and hygiene services, including support for emergency water pr

In Gaza today, where daily life is shaped by hardship and uncertainty, bread has become more than food. It is survival. It is dignity. It is hope shared hand to hand. For many families, access to basic nourishment is increasingly limited. In these moments, the simple act of sharing bread becomes a powerful expression of care and solidarity. It offers relief from hunger while reminding people that they are not forgotten. Bread is a daily staple and, for some households, the on

In Gaza, bread is more than food. It is survival. It is comfort. It is a reminder that someone, somewhere, still cares. Today, as bread was shared among families, the impact was immediate and deeply human. People gathered quietly, some holding children close, others carrying small bags or cloths to protect the loaves they received. There was no rush just gratitude, relief, and dignity in a moment that mattered. For many families, this bread meant their first proper meal of t

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

President Donald Trump is pushing to advance his Gaza ceasefire plan into its second and most complex stage, even as Israeli forces tighten their positions inside the devastated territory and key elements of the agreement remain unresolved. With the remains of all but one deceased hostage recovered, phase one of the 20-point deal is close to completion. But international mediators warn the fragile two-month-old ceasefire is “at a critical moment,” strained by rising mistrust,

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.

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

Among the latest casualties were two young brothers, Fadi and Juma Abu Assi. Relatives say the boys, aged eight and around ten, were gathering firewood east of Khan Younis when they were killed in a
