Another water and food distribution completed — Thank You for Standing with Gaza

With the grace of God almighty and with your unwavering support, we’ve successfully completed another aid distribution for our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our courageous volunteers — individuals who are exhausted, grieving, and risking their lives daily to serve others. Their resilience in the face of unimaginable trauma is nothing short of heroic.

In the dark you are providing light!

Despite relentless airstrikes, a worsening blockade, and destroyed infrastructure, our mission in Gaza carries on.

Through local networks, we’ve sourced all aid from within Gaza — purchased directly from Palestinian merchants and markets. This approach not only ensures faster delivery but also preserves dignity and supports the local economy.

Throughout April, May, and June, our brave volunteers have delivered hot meals, hygiene packs, and clean water to Gaza’s most vulnerable families. Each distribution is more than just material aid — it is a lifeline, a symbol of solidarity, and a beacon of hope.

While we live in relative safety and comfort, the people of Gaza continue to endure unimaginable suffering. Every donation you make saves lives.

This Ramadan, we have been delivering dry food packs, hot meals, and water tanker deliveries, alongside our Women’s Bread Project, to support those in urgent need. But our efforts do not stop with Ramadan—we are committed to continuing this vital work.

As another blessed Friday arrives, the situation on the ground in Gaza is becoming unbearable. Families are struggling to access food and clean water. We urgently ask for your support—whether big or small—to sustain our Water & Bread Project.

The Water Crisis in Gaza

The people of Gaza face a severe water crisis, with many families unable to access clean and safe drinking water. Damage to infrastructure, scarce resources, and ongoing challenges have made survival increasingly difficult.

Last week, we launched our Water Project in Gaza to deliver clean, safe water to affected communities—helping improve health and restore dignity to those in need.

Your Donations Make a Difference

From the first day of Ramadan, our dedicated volunteers have worked tirelessly to prepare and deliver food packs to families in Gaza. Thanks to your generosity, we have already made an impact—but the need is still overwhelming.

£50 can feed a family of five for an entire week—just £10 per person

£50 can provide clean drinking water for an entire month

As we gather with loved ones this Ramadan, millions in Gaza struggle for survival. We can not turn away.
Since February 2023, your donations have:

✅ Provided hot meals and food packs to families facing hunger

✅ Supplied blankets and clothing to those braving harsh conditions

✅ Supported children’s activities, bringing hope amid hardship

We have intensified our efforts this Ramadan—but we need your help.

Hot off the press!

Ramadan is not just about abstaining—it is about becoming. A shedding. A refining. A return.

To fast is to quiet the body so the soul can speak. To still the mind so the heart can listen. To empty oneself, not in lack, but in devotion—so that what is divine may pour in.

This is not a hunger of deprivation; it is a hunger that nourishes. A hunger for clarity, for closeness, for remembrance.

For in the stillness of dawn, in the hush before sunset, in the space between desire and discipline—God is there.

There are only a few days yo gain the rewards. May this Ramadan strip away what is not you. May it soften the places that have hardened. May it renew your spirit, cleanse your thoughts, and expand your heart.

Walk gently. Fast with love. And remember: the breaking of the fast is not just with food—it is with grace, with forgiveness, with mercy.

This is the doorway. Step through.

✨ Ramadan Mubarak.

Urging Government to Uphold International Law

We express deep concerns over the last nights events and urge the government and international community to uphold it's obligations under international law.

We call on our government to:

Demand an Immediate Ceasefire – Advocate for an immediate cessation of hostilities to prevent further loss of innocent lives.

Ensure compliance with International Humanitarian Law

Support Humanitarian Aid Access – Work with international organisations to ensure unrestricted humanitarian aid reaches those in need in Gaza.

Hold Violators Accountable – Support mechanisms for accountability for violations of international law, including potential war crimes.

We urge the government to take decisive action in line with it's legal and moral responsibilities as the home secretary has already suggested that Isarel is breaking international law.

We ask you all to pray and Stand with Gaza this Ramadan.

This week, in celebration of World Outdoor Day, we collaborated and were warmly hosted by Carlton Infant and Junior School to raise awareness about climate change and our Green Deen Project

We are immensely proud of the young stars from Carlton Infant and Junior School who joined us for our Green Deen initiative. They came with so much enthusiasm.

Carlton Infant and Junior School has not only actively participated in Green Deen workshops at Moonlight Trust but has also contributed to several community-driven environmental projects. These include building a garden and a pond-dipping facility. These fanta efforts that have earned national recognition.

So far, over 300 individuals—primarily youth and children—have taken part in the Moonlight Trust Green Deen initiative. This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming students from Carlton Infant and Junior School, who enjoyed a hands-on, immersive experience in nature while learning about environmental stewardship.

The Green Deen project addresses climate change through the lens of deen (faith), rooted in fitrah (nature), encouraging all communities—particularly people of faith—to take meaningful action. This unique approach not only tackles critical environmental issues but also deepens our spiritual bond with the natural world.

We have successfully delivered a series of free masterclasses. We have come together to explore intersectionality between climate change, biodiversity diversity, spirituality, and well being. Weve worked on highlighting these issues from a faith-based, spiritual perspective. These sessions are designed to inspire and engage people from all walks of life.

This initiative reflects our vision to create a “spiritual garden” within Dewsbury Country Park. This project is aimed to enhance the local environment, redevelop park infrastructure and whilst fostering spiritual well-being.

To contribute to the spiritual garden, you may also choose to donate a plaque displaying a Hadith. You can donate via moonlighttrust.enthuse.com/profile

Together, we can inspire our communities to protect and cherish the beauty of God's creation.

A huge heartfelt thank you to One Community Foundation for their generous support and funding.

Impact of the Bombing on human Lives.

Casualties and Destruction:

With over 2000 people dead due to recent Israeli strikes, this bombing could be one of the most catastrophic events in recent years. It has not only resulted in significant loss of life but also worsened the already dire conditions for survivors. Families are torn apart and communities devastated.

The death and injury of medical personnel have crippled the healthcare system, which was already on the verge of collapse due to shortages of medical supplies, fuel, and equipment. Medical staff are terrified to return to work, leaving hospitals and clinics understaffed or closed entirely. In a country where healthcare was already scarce, this has catastrophic consequences for the wounded and sick.

Refugee Crisis:

#Lebanon has been home to over 3 million refugees, primarily from Syria and Palestine, who are living in precarious conditions. These communities were already facing extreme hardships, with limited access to healthcare, education, and employment opportunities. The bombing has worsened their situation, making it even more difficult for aid agencies to reach them.

Refugee camps and overcrowded settlements may have been severely affected, leading to increased displacement and suffering within an already fragile group.

Humanitarian Crisis at its worst!

The bombing has compounded Lebanon’s deepening humanitarian crisis.

Infrastructural Damage:

Hospitals, schools, and residential areas have likely been damaged, further crippling the state’s ability to provide basic services.

Aid Shortages: International aid agencies may face additional obstacles in delivering aid due to security risks, making it harder for basic but essential supplies like food, water, and medicine to reach those in need.

The call for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon is critical to preventing further devastation and suffering.

The psychological toll on survivors, refugees, and medical personnel is immense. The call for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon is critical to preventing further devastation and suffering. We at #MoonlightTrust stand alongside the international community in demanding the immediate #ceasefirenow.
