How Your Qurbani Reaches Families in Palestine

This Eid ul-Adha, your Qurbani can bring nourishment, dignity, and a moment of relief to families in Gaza who have endured years of unprecedented hardship. In May 2026, the humanitarian situation remains a critical crisis. With Gaza’s local livestock sectors almost entirely non-existent and traditional supply chains broken, tinned Qurbani meat remains the most reliable way to ensure your sacrifice reaches those in desperate need.

Why Tinned Meat is Essential in 2026

Since the escalation of the conflict in late 2023, Gaza’s food system has faced a total collapse. For over two years, the blockade has prevented the replenishment of livestock. Animals that once formed the backbone of local Qurbani were used for survival during periods of acute famine. Today, it remains nearly impossible to import live animals for local sacrifice at the scale required.

The infrastructure challenges continue:

• Power & Refrigeration: Electricity is still a luxury, and fuel for generators is strictly limited.
• Safety: Fresh meat spoils rapidly in overcrowded tents and makeshift shelters.
• Stability: Tinned meat is safe, protein-rich, and has a shelf life of years, providing families with sustained nutrition long after the days of Eid have passed.

A fully Shariah-compliant process

Your Qurbani is performed with care and reverence. We carry out sacrifices during the days of Eid in India and Australia, where thousands of cows are slaughtered according to Islamic guidelines. The meat is then processed, sealed in tins, and shipped via neighboring countries directly into Gaza.

This is a Shariah-compliant Qurbani, fulfilling your religious duty while ensuring your sacrifice reaches those who need it most.

Ongoing support

We hope you consider donating your Qurbani this year to families in Gaza who have lost everything: their homes, livelihoods, and access to food.

IF Charity remains active coordinating with partners to ensure timely and dignified distribution. Despite the ongoing challenges and administrative barriers of 2026, work continues to deliver food, water, and medicine to shelters, orphanages, and the most isolated communities. Much of this aid is sourced locally where possible or flows through the border as conditions allow.

Deliver your Qurbani directly to Palestinian families, offering them nutritious meat during Eid. This will be delivered as tinned meat, which is the most practical option for Gaza right now. With limited electricity, tinned meat lasts longer and ensures your Qurbani feeds families for months.
