About Us

Palestine Aid is a charity with a 100% donation policy based in Belfast, Northern Ireland dedicated to bringing help and hope to families in distress in Gaza.

Founded in 2011 by a group of volunteers that returned from a medical aid mission to Gaza in 2010, the charity has grown significantly since formally registering with The Charity Commission for Northern Ireland in 2018. Now in our second decade of existence, we remain true to our values as a volunteer led charity with no paid staff nor any costly overheads. 100% of your donations go to charitable activities.

Under the leadership of our Patron, His Excellency (retired) Saeb Sha’ath, Former Ambassador of the State of Palestine to the Republic of Ireland, we have established extensive long-term projects that provide aid to those most vulnerable in need in Gaza. You can read more about our projects here.
