This year, IHH’s qurban campaign was carried out under the slogan “Qurban: A Call for Unity”. We performed our donors’ qurban and distributed as much as 112,207 meat shares to those in need across three continents.
Qurban in Türkiye
In Türkiye, IHH performed qurban which comes down to 3,544 shares and delivered them to those in need, while 8,801 children were gifted with holiday clothing.
Reaching More Than 4.5 Million People
The Foundation organized 54,232 shares intended for delivery to Palestine and Gaza. Due to the harsh conditions caused by Israel’s apartheid regime, occupation, and massacres, most of the qurban were performed outside Palestine, with the meat being canned and sent to Gaza. The shares would be able to reach more than 4.5 million people.
War and Crisis Zones
Yemen, Arakan (Rakhine) and Sudan were among the countries where IHH carried out Qurbani distributions. The Foundation distributed 4,046 meat shares in Sudan, 2,770 in Yemen, and 2,625 in Arakan. More than 370,000 people benefited from these distributions.
41,601 Eid Clothing for Children
Aside of Turkey, IHH also gifted holiday outfits to orphans and children in need in 14 other countries. Including Turkey, a total of 41,601 sets of holiday clothing were distributed. The countries that receive our Eid clothing are:

States must do what is necessary to stop the massacres in Gaza
A press conference titled “The Genocide Continues: Don’t Forget Gaza!” was held by the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation. Speaking at the conference, IHH Secretary General Ahmet Göksun stated, “Just as states managed to stop the Israel-Iran war within 12 days, they must also do everything in their power to stop the massacres in Gaza. They owe this to humanity.”
To the many journalists that attended the press conference held at the IHH headquarters, the first speaker, IHH Board of Trustees Member İzzet Şahin, emphasized that a great genocide and massacre is taking place in Gaza:
“According to the US’ own admissions, bombs equivalent to the power of 6 nuclear bombs have been dropped on Gaza. The massacres in Gaza continue to take place. The blockade must be lifted immediately. For nearly 20 years, an unprecedented blockade has been imposed on Gaza. There were times when not even a glass of water could enter. Moreover, violence is used against civilians trying to break the blockade. Ships set out and are attacked in international waters. Others try to break the blockade by land and are prevented. If you are going to prevent these aid efforts, then you should deliver humanitarian aid yourselves. You must lift the blockade yourselves.”
