Gaza Hot Meal Distribution: Let Us Be a Hope Against Hunger Together
In the shadow of war, destruction and a long blockade, the people of Gaza are facing one of the greatest struggles in history to reach clean food, water and medicine. Through our Gaza food aid campaign run by İnsan Derneği (Human Association), we reach thousands of people every day via our soup kitchens operating actively in the region. A single hot meal is a vital step towards reviving hopes buried under the rubble.
Why Is Palestine Food Aid So Vital?
Because food supply chains have broken down and power cuts continue in the region, it has become almost impossible for families to cook meals in their homes or tents with their own means. Our Palestine food aid work steps in at precisely this moment of crisis, aiming to meet people's daily calorie and nutrition needs. The fresh meals prepared help babies, the elderly and the wounded, whose immune systems have weakened, to hold on to life.
Target of 10,000 Meals a Day
Our Gaza soup kitchen network, whose capacity grows every day with your support, builds a very strong barrier against the hunger crisis on the ground by producing a minimum of 10,000 meals a day.
Transparent Distribution Network
The emergency food donation process follows our association's principles of transparency. By complying with international humanitarian standards, we deliver your aid first-hand to those in need.
Who Does Your Aid Reach?
In the hot meal donation distributions we carry out, we always give priority to the most vulnerable groups:
- Families sheltering in shelters, schools and makeshift tent camps
- Children and babies at risk of inadequate nutrition (malnutrition)
- Patients being treated in hospitals and elderly people unable to provide their own food
Cost of One Meal: 170 TL
By donating just 170 TL, you can cover the daily fresh meal needs of a Palestinian living in the shadow of war. To lend a helping hand and pay online securely through the emergency food donation process, use the form on our page.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gaza and Palestine Food Aid
How are hot meals distributed in Gaza?
Hot meal distribution begins with the fresh ingredients delivered through the flash-frozen food corridor being cooked by our expert teams at our soup kitchens inside Gaza. The prepared meals are delivered on a daily basis by our distribution trucks and mobile vehicles to tent camps, shelters and accommodation centres.
What exactly does a 170 TL hot meal donation provide?
The 170 TL donation amount covers the entire cost (including procurement of ingredients, the hygienic cooking stage and safe logistics distribution) of one large-portion meal with meat or chicken that meets one person's daily nutrition and calorie needs.
Can Palestine food aid donations count as zakat, zakat al-fitr or sadaqah?
Absolutely. According to Islamic jurisprudence, food aid given to our war-affected brothers and sisters suffering from hunger can be counted as zakat, sadaqah, fidya or kaffarah. When making your payment on our donation form you can state your intention; your aid is delivered to its destination in full conformity with religious sensitivities.
Which areas do your Gaza soup kitchen operations cover?
Depending on the operational security situation, we provide active soup kitchen service in the southern and central areas of Gaza where displaced civilians have sought refuge in the greatest numbers, primarily Rafah, Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah.
How transparent is the emergency food donation process?
In line with our 'Transparent Distribution Network' motto at İnsan Derneği, all cooking and distribution processes on the ground are recorded digitally. Our donors are updated at regular intervals with videos on our website and social media accounts.
How are people in need identified?
We identify them through on-site assessments carried out by our representatives in the regions where we work and the volunteers under their supervision.
Are checks carried out before and after the aid?
To prevent possible misuse and to ensure continuity, our representatives visit the families who received aid at regular intervals after the aid has been delivered.
How can I find out whether my donation made through a bank or online has arrived?
If you provide the subject of your donation, your mobile phone number or e-mail address when donating, the result of your donation is communicated to you.
How can I donate from abroad?
You can send your donations from abroad to our euro or US dollar accounts by EFT together with the SWIFT code. Or you can donate online with a credit card.
