Al-Khair Foundation confirms full cooperation with statutory inquiry, reaffirming its humanitarian principles and its track record in meeting humanitarian needs in Gaza

Al-Khair Foundation is cooperating fully with the statutory inquiry launched by the Charity Commission of England and Wales on 5 August 2026, in light of the detention of Mohammad Yousef Hasna and the serious allegations against him. Mr Hasna is employed by one of our implementing partners involved in delivering humanitarian aid in Gaza.

We are cooperating with the Commission’s inquiry with a view to answering questions posed, addressing concerns raised, and taking remedial action if needed. We filed a Serious Incident Report with the Commission about this matter before it launched its inquiry.

Al-Khair Foundation was established in 2003. We are a proudly British humanitarian organisation, a registered charity with a distinguished record spanning more than two decades of delivering humanitarian assistance and alleviating poverty and suffering in more than 75 countries worldwide.

Our priority is always to provide humanitarian assistance in accordance with our charitable objectives, humanitarian principles and all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Our work is strongly guided by Islamic values of compassion, integrity and service to those most in need.

We work in some of the world's most challenging and complex environments, where communities face conflict, displacement, famine and natural disasters. These conditions can create significant operational challenges but our sole purpose is always to save lives, alleviate suffering, and help people build a brighter future – regardless of nationality, ethnicity, religion or political affiliation.

Everywhere we work we are firmly committed to ensuring that the funds entrusted to us by our generous donors are used for their intended purpose: meeting the humanitarian needs of poor and marginalised people in the communities we serve.

Al-Khair Foundation is deeply committed to supporting those in need in Gaza. Our significant support over many years has included providing food parcels, hot meals, clean water, medical aid, shelter materials, winter assistance, and orphan and family support. Our programmes have helped sustain large numbers of vulnerable families, reduce hunger, and maintain lifesaving assistance in exceptionally difficult conditions.

In Gaza and around the world we work hard to maintain robust governance, compliance and oversight processes designed to help ensure that aid reaches its intended beneficiaries.
