Location

Al-Noor International Relief Association is a humanitarian organisation operating through its office in Palestine, while its official headquarters is located in Türkiye. It seeks to support the Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip, through relief and sustainable development programmes that help mitigate the impact of ongoing humanitarian crises.

A complex reality

Gaza's residents face a profound humanitarian crisis that touches their dignity before their needs, deprived of their basic rights to a decent life, work, treatment, education and adequate housing. Given the compounding circumstances, temporary fixes are no longer enough; there is an urgent need for sustainable relief and development.

Driven by a sense of humanitarian responsibility towards Palestinian society and by the belief in the right to live in dignity and safety, Al-Noor International Relief Association provides a practical response to the difficult humanitarian reality, particularly in the Gaza Strip. Through relief and development programmes, the association works to alleviate suffering and strengthen the resilience of affected families, with carefully planned interventions based on sustainability, partnership and commitment to humanitarian standards.
