At a time when schooling has come to a halt in Gaza, IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation is offering education opportunities to the students of Gaza through the Ottoman Cultural Center it established in the region.

Since the state of Israel was established on the territory of Palestine in 1948, the Arab-Israeli war and the unilateral attacks of Israel have almost occupied all Palestinian territories. The majority of these people are forced to live as refugees in other Arab countries. Gaza in particular has been severely affected by the economic embargo of Israel. The attacks which Israel carried out in December 2008 resulted in a great loss of life and sever demolition within the city.

Israel's attack on Gaza not only destroyed the city but brought great material and moral damages to the society. All institutions in Gaza have fallen idle, and they have failed to fulfill their public duty for the people, affecting them adversely.

Through material and moral aid, IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation is continuing to heal the wounds of the people of Gaza who are suffering under the embargo of the Israel.
