    There are eight categories of eligible people who may receive zakat, including those administering zakat’s collection and distribution, the poor, and the indebted, among others.

  • All zakat donations are segregated into a specific account earmarked for food and cash assistance to the most impoverished Palestine refugees and are used within one lunar year, ensuring your money is used urgently and is directed to those who need it the most.

    In the case of food assistance, food baskets are delivered to qualifying families on a quarterly basis.

    In the Gaza Strip, over 2 million Palestine refugees live in poverty and about 1.7 million are forced to rely on UNRWA cash and food assistance to meet their most basic needs.

    f this form of charitable giving is part of your faith, your zakat-eligible donation can provide essential support to the poorest and most vulnerable Palestine refugees.

  • Donations to UNRWA’s food and cash assistance program are Zakat-certified.

    The National Zakat Foundation Worldwide certified UNRWA’s food and cash assistance program as zakat-eligible. In order to be zakat-eligible, an organization or program must confirm that beneficiaries of zakat meet specific eligibility criteria of being “poor and needy.”
