With the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan marks Eid Al Fitr, which is a time of celebration for many families around the world, and is also about giving back.
To mark the end of Ramadan, Bella Hadid, who is part Palestinian through her father’s heritage, shared a heartwarming and also important message on Instagram.
Reflecting upon how she fasted with her father and her Teta (grandmother) when she was younger, the model shared how her thoughts were “with families and children around the world without a safe place to call home”.
“It makes my heart break thinking about the children and families that are separated and unable to unite during this time,” she admitted. “I wish there was a way that I could take the pain away or more that I could do…”

Eid Mubarak my friends and family عيد مبارك ❤️As Ramadan comes to a close, my thoughts are with families and children around the world without a safe place to call home. I remember the beauty of Ramadan, and fasting with my father and my Teta when I was young. Eid was so special for me, to be able to celebrate together. It makes my heart break thinking about the children and families that are separated and unable to unite during this time. I wish there was a way that I could take the pain away or more that I could do…But for this week, I will be supporting and donating to three charities that are working endlessly, in different ways, to help support Refugees, displaced families, families in the front lines of conflict and very importantly, the powerful and beautiful Middle Eastern children across Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and other affected regions. @preemptivelove @unrwausa and @mecaforpeace I would like to explain to you exactly what these amazing organizations do… ❤️The Middle East Children’s Alliance works for the rights and well being of children in the middle east. They support dozens of community projects for Palestinian children and refugees from Syria. MACA has been dedicated to making sure the children get direct aid like food, water, clothes, toys, books and school supplies… Financial Support and assistance in the West Bank and Gaza that helps children get basic needs such as accessible parks, kindergarten classes, libraries, sports, MUSIC/ art programs etc! They also offer university programs to help Palestinians grow up to be everything they can be. I will be supporting this organization for a very long time I want these children to know that they are so special and that there are people here that care about them.. ( if you would kindly slide to the right to see how Preemtive Love Coalition & UNRWA USA have dedicated their time as well) ❤️ my Preemtive Love Coalition donation link will be in my Bio Thank you for reading ❤️ I would love for you to join me to help these incredible charities, and if not, spreading the word will always help.. We can and will be the voice for the ones who cannot be heard❤️ عيد مبارك

In light of those going through difficulties, the 23-year-old announced she would be supporting three different charities to help refugees, children, displaced families and more in the areas of Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and other regions.
The three organisations Hadid is supporting are: Preemptive Love, UNRWA USA and the Middle East Children’s Alliance.
Hadid encouraged her fans to join her in supporting them, if not monetarily by spreading the word.
“We can and will be the voice for the ones who cannot be heard,” she poignantly said.
