Emergency Appeal: Clean Water for the People of Gaza
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, 67% of Gaza's already inadequate water and sanitation infrastructure has now been decimated. In response to this unprecedented humanitarian crisis, our team has developed a long-term and sustainable solution to provide clean drinking water access to the people of Gaza.
Our team has specifically developed a Solar Water Filtration kit that will provide uninterrupted access to clean water for communities in Gaza. We call it the OASIS Box Family. Each kit can provide 50 people with clean water daily. Your support can provide a lifeline for Palestinians during this humanitarian crisis and in the future.

GAZA RELIEF CAMPAIGN: OUR EFFORTS
Our Gaza Relief Campaign is aimed at providing extensive humanitarian support in the region, including the provision of clean drinking water through our OASIS Box Family Units. In line with this approach, we have proactively initiated the following projects to provide relief to the people of Gaza.
- Relief aid: Solar Water Project provided essential items, including flour, baby milk, and diapers, to support families in need.
- Water Supply: We successfully distributed clean drinking water at the Beit Hanoun Preparatory School Refugee Shelter Center in North Gaza in partnership with local vendors. Over 500 refugee families received water daily for five days.
- Qurbani Campaign: For Eid ul Adha, a qurbani campaign was carried out in Gaza.

OUR PETITION
Respecting International Humanitarian Law (IHL)
IHL, or the law of armed conflicts, safeguards civilian access to water. It prohibits harming water installations, supplies, and essential objects for civilian survival in both international and non-international conflicts. This prohibition is linked to the ban on using starvation as a tactic, which includes depriving civilians of water. Water is also protected as part of the environment, with rules against causing severe and lasting environmental damage in warfare.
Additionally, the Third and Fourth Geneva Conventions ensure access to water for prisoners of war and civilian internees, and the Fourth Convention imposes obligations on occupying powers regarding food, public health, and hygiene in occupied areas.
Our Demand
We call on international bodies — the United Nations, the European Union, and humanitarian organizations — to:
- Enable and ensure uninterrupted access of water and other essentials by creating a humanitarian corridor to allow life-saving aid to reach Gaza.
- Uphold and enforce IHL, emphasizing the protection of civilian rights and access to clean water and basic amenities.
- Promote a ceasefire and establish diplomatic efforts to mitigate further loss of life and human suffering.
