Tomorrow night is Laylat al-Qadr — the Night of Power, the holiest night of the year in Islam. It is a night of immense blessings, prayer, and giving.

For thousands of pregnant women in Gaza, it will be another night of fear and uncertainty.

Hospitals have been bombed. Medicine is scarce. Famine is looming. With each meal missed, the odds of a woman delivering an undernourished, undersized baby rise.

New mothers are not getting enough food to nurse their newborns, who are often too weak to even cry. Doctors report that newborns are dying because they weigh too little. But in this sacred moment, your generosity can bring hope. Observing Laylat al-Qadr includes giving Sadaqah (voluntary charity). Your contribution can deliver lifesaving care to women and newborns in Gaza and beyond. It can provide medicine, safe delivery kits, and emergency aid to those struggling to survive.

In honor of the Night of Power, will you give a gift to provide essential supplies and lifesaving care to those suffering in Gaza and beyond? Your Sadaqah provides hope to those in crisis.

In the past 16 months, supporters like you have helped UNFPA provide care for over half of all births in Gaza. But with conflict resuming, aid blockades and famine are looming again, and the crisis is growing worse by the day.

We must do everything we can. Your gift — no matter the amount — can ensure women and infants in crisis receive the care they need to survive.

We condemn the violence in Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel, and hope for a sustained humanitarian ceasefire, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages by Hamas, and an end to the violence. The suffering must end and peace must prevail.
