T\u00fcrkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV)<\/a> has continued its humanitarian relief efforts for Palestinians<\/a> living in Gaza<\/a> and elsewhere since 7 October 2023, when Israel launched an intensive military offensive.<\/p>\n

In addition to Gaza<\/a> , the Foundation has provided assistance to Palestinians<\/a> in Egypt, Jordan and T\u00fcrkiye, delivering aid worth a total of $66,400,318 to date. Through its various relief activities, TDV has reached a total of 16,174,367 people.<\/p>\n

To help meet the basic needs of Palestinians<\/a> and alleviate the impact of the humanitarian crisis they face, T\u00fcrkiye Diyanet Foundation<\/a> provides a wide range of assistance, including food and shelter, healthcare services, coverage of medical treatment and medication costs, access to clean water, financial aid and social support. In addition to emergency relief for Palestinians<\/a> in need in Gaza<\/a> and neighbouring countries, the Foundation also assists those who have been forced to leave the region or have travelled to T\u00fcrkiye for medical treatment.<\/p>\n

Since 7 October 2023, aid under TDV\u2019s Emergency Humanitarian Relief Efforts for Palestine has been delivered to the region through three main channels. Humanitarian supplies procured through partner organisations operating within Gaza<\/a> are distributed to those in need. Aid sourced from Jordan and Egypt is transported to Gaza<\/a> by truck. In addition, humanitarian assistance intended for Gaza<\/a> is shipped from Mersin to Egypt\u2019s Port of El-Arish, under the coordination of T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) and the Turkish Red Crescent.<\/p>\n

Essential Needs Continue to Be Met in Gaza<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daily humanitarian aid distributions are carried out in Gaza<\/a> to help alleviate difficulties in accessing food and clean water. As part of these efforts, food parcels, hot meals, bread, flour, bottled water and drinking water delivered by water tankers are provided to people in need.<\/p>\n

To address shelter and daily living needs, the Foundation distributes winter clothing, shoes, tents, blankets, pillows, mattresses, sleeping mats, hygiene kits and diapers. Financial assistance is also provided to families in need. During Ramadan and Eid al-Adha, TDV delivers food parcels and Qurbani meat to families in Gaza<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TDV Provides Healthcare and Shelter Support to Palestinians in T\u00fcrkiye<\/strong><\/p>\n

T\u00fcrkiye Diyanet Foundation<\/a> (TDV) extends its humanitarian assistance beyond Gaza<\/a>, supporting Palestinians<\/a> who have had to leave the region or travel abroad for medical treatment.<\/p>\n

Palestinian patients receiving treatment in T\u00fcrkiye, along with their relatives, receive financial assistance and rental support to help cover their living expenses. In Gaza<\/a>, TDV provides hearing aids, wheelchairs and crutches, while also helping meet the surgical and medication needs of injured patients in Gaza and Egypt. Mothers who have recently given birth receive maternal and newborn care kits.<\/p>\n

TDV\u2019s relief operations also extend to Palestinians<\/a> in Egypt and Jordan. Through its support across these locations, the Foundation continues to address the diverse humanitarian needs of Palestinians<\/a> both within Gaza<\/a> and throughout the surrounding region.<\/p>\n
