Widespread violence around the world has caused millions of
people to suffer and live in poverty.
Muslim countries are rocked by war, hunger and poverty. The cries
for help of people who live amid death, injury and destruction are heart-
breaking.
In the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas, thousands of
homes were demolished and damaged in Gaza, while tens of hospi-
tals and health centers were affected by the war. The United Nations
Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) says that 300,000 Palestinians have
sought shelter in UN schools. The number of injured exceeded 10,000.
Gaza urgently needs assistance in food, health care and housing.
