#GazaSoupKitchen Update on July 23, 2025 by #HaniAlmadhoun, Organizer
"Right now, in #Gaza:
Over 90% of the population faces acute food insecurity
Real children—not statistics—are giving up. Their bodies are shutting down from hunger, and they don’t even know it’s not normal
#Famine isn’t a theory—it’s not in some academic journal. It’s in the streets, in the shelters, in the makeshift tents
Parents are skipping meals so their kids can eat
People are walking 2, 5, 8 miles on foot just for a single scoop of lentils
Many collapse from hunger before ever reaching our kitchens
A doctor told us this week:
> “We’re seeing fewer patients. Not because they’re healing—because they don’t have the strength to walk here.”
Let that sink in.
We operate 11 kitchens across Gaza.
Today, only 5 are functional.
Some are running at just 70% capacity, because food is nearly impossible to find.
We rotate, we stretch, we improvise—just to survive.
Still, our team doesn’t give up. Not now. Not ever.
They source food in a war zone.
They call every contact from 40 years of work in Gaza—
Farmers with hidden plots. Vendors who stash away grains.
Friends who whisper: “Try this alley… there might be rice.”
Every bag of lentils is a mission.
Every scoop of soup is a triumph.
Even grapes became a precious offering this week.
Not because we’re living in luxury—
But because flour wasn’t available, and grapes were.
And because a farmer who dares to grow under war deserves our support.
So we bought the grapes. And we gave them away.
To families who haven’t tasted fruit in months.
Some moments break us.
Like when a child tells us they haven’t eaten in three days—
And still doesn’t make it to the front of the line.
Like when we have to stop delivering meals to hospitals—
Because we couldn’t source enough flour.
Even though doctors are starving.
Even though they’re surrounded by death 24/7.
And even though the lies about them cut deeper than any wound.
But some moments lift us.
Like the way you showed up.
With your donations. Your kindness. Your belief.
That maybe, just maybe, this world can be less cruel if we insist on love.
We want to be honest with you:
Do we need money today? No.
Will we need it next week? Maybe not.
But next month? Without a doubt.
Because every single day is a test of how long we can hold the line.
We want to be Gaza’s last light.
Not flickering in the dark—
But standing tall.
And with your help, we can.
Yes, there are other heartfelt efforts happening across Gaza. We honor them.
But at this scale—11 kitchens, 60+ brave staff, thousands of meals—there is no one doing it quite like this.
Please remember:
You are part of this.
This is your compassion.
Your love.
Your impact—served warm in bowls that nourish not just stomachs, but souls.
With full hearts, tired hands, and unshakable hope,
—The Gaza Soup Kitchen Team"
