#GazaSoupKitchen Update

August 10, 2026 by #HaniAlmadhoun, Organizer

"Dear friends, allies, and supporters,

This is my note to you. I like to check in every now and then, and as you have come to know, these messages are where I speak directly from the heart.

Many of you let me know how much you appreciate these updates, so first off—thank you. Thank you for being here, for your patience, and for walking this heavy road with us. You put your heart and your resources into this work, and you make every single day of survival possible.

As you can imagine, living and working in #Gaza right now means navigating a strange, tense age of hoping to see real peace. On the ground, we have felt a reduction in constant air strikes compared to past months, but there is no commitment or guarantee that the bombing is truly over. We made no mistake in hearing the news this week when Prime Minister #Netanyahu made it clear he does not support the 15-point peace plan authored by the President of the United States. The political reality remains deeply painful, but while politicians stall, you and I continue to act.

Here is a quick, direct update on the relief and programs your generosity is powering on the ground today:

- The Orphan Learning Academy: Today, we held a small celebration for the children with face painting and pizza. Seeing their smiles in the photos was just heartwarming. This small initiative gives these kids a sanctuary—a place to belong, to laugh, and to learn. We currently serve at least 50 children who are missing one or both parents. As you will tell us, navigating a genocide without a mother or father nearby is an unimaginable burden. While caretakers step in, nothing replaces the embrace of a parent, and giving these kids a moment of peace means everything.

- #KhanYunis Learning Center: Miss Fatma is still teaching four days a week, bringing around 40 children together each session for English, math, and basic education. She constantly brings them small treats out of her own pocket, inspiring them to keep learning, keep growing, and keep their young minds engaged.

- #FrontlineMedicalCare: Our medical point continues to treat an average of 60 patients every single day. Dr. Majd—our doctor who is brave enough to work right on the yellow line—is an absolute gift. Her courage, skill, and deep care under extreme conditions keep our entire team hopeful. On top of this, our hospital meal distribution continues steadily as planned, delivering at least 250 hot meals daily across two different hospitals to support patients, medical staff, and families in care.

- #Water Distribution: We have now scaled up to 14 water trucks running daily, bringing clean water all the way from #Rafah in the south to Mashru' #BeitLahiya in the north. Access to clean water haunts me constantly as I see desperate families forced to decide whether to buy a loaf of bread or a gallon of water. Because of your commitment, our team doesn't hesitate—when a neighborhood needs water, they make the call and send the truck. Trucking water is a relatively inexpensive way to save lives, with fuel being our primary cost.

- #CommunityKitchens: We are now operating 25 kitchens spanning from #Mawasi and Rafah all the way to #Mashru' Beit Lahiya. Rather than opening new sites, several kitchens have expanded, with some now providing hot meals for up to 1,500 people a day (averaging about 1,000 per kitchen). Food exists in local markets, but because people have lost their jobs and livelihoods, buying it is nearly impossible. Despite severe banking disruptions, fluctuating prices, and daily insecurities, your support keeps these stoves burning.
One thing we are closely watching this week is market volatility: produce prices went up by about 10%. We aren't entirely sure what to make of this shift just yet or if it's a temporary spike. For now, we are keeping our food packages and portions exactly as they are, but if this price surge continues, we may have to make a few operational trade-offs to keep expanding our reach.

- Targeted #FoodParcels: Alongside our daily meals, we produce targeted lists to serve specific groups. Last week, we focused on homemakers. This week, based on a direct request from the local community, we pledged to register and serve 1,500 people across two categories: the elderly and newlywed couples. This is on top of our evergreen support for nursing mothers, expecting moms, and workers who have lost their income.

Remember, you pay for all of this. You make this life-saving work possible, and you deserve every shout-out there is.

I’ll be the first to admit that I often feel small in the face of such massive hardship. But I want you to know that as long as we have the resources you provide, we will keep cooking, trucking water, and dispatching aid. The moment we start worrying about resources, as you can imagine, is the moment we speak up and ask for help.

Please keep sharing our work, commenting, and spreading the word. Speak out first against the ongoing injustice, and then share the tangible, life-saving solutions that you and I are creating together on the ground.

Thank you for being here with us.
