We've recently had a lot of new followers! Hi! Asalamalaikum! Welcome! Marhaba!

Thought we'd go back to basics about what Habibti Liverpool does and why....

Habibti Liverpool is a registered charity in the UK with the Charity Commission. We're a small but focussed and committed group of friends, families, and supporters who raise funds for and awareness of the work of Yemeni healthworkers in the city of Sana'a in Yemen.

Building on the longstanding work of the Yemeni- Liverpool friendship group, which came out of Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the relationship with local Yemeni families and businesses we work together with 2 Yemeni paediatricians - Professor Najla Al-Sonboli and Professor Nasher Al-Aghbari - to provide expenses for 40 nurses and healthcare workers across 4 public hospitals in Sana'a, Yemen.

Public sector workers such as nurses have not been paid salaries for nearly 10 years. We are able, with the money we raise, to support staff and also pay for some medicines and equipment when we are able to.

NB Habibti Liverpool volunteers in the UK are unpaid, with 100% of funds raised supporting our work on the ground in Yemen. Decisions about which patients are supported are made by clinicians in Sana'a based entirely on assessed need. The 4 public hospitals in the city are accessed by some of the very poorest and vulnerable people in Yemeni society.

Statement from Habibti Liverpool;

Habibti Liverpool was nominated, and selected as a finalist, in the BBC Make a Difference Awards 2025 in the fundraising category. We have, however, chosen to withdraw from the awards and will not be attending the ceremony on Thursday 25th September.

This decision comes as a response to the biased way in which the BBC has reported on the ongoing genocide in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, especially in Gaza. We feel that the misinformation promoted via BBC News and it's editorial decisions reporting on the atrocities committed against the Palestinian people, make it impossible for us to engage any further with the awards process.

As a charity dedicated to supporting families and healthcare in Yemen - also a very fragile conflict setting - we cannot in good conscience align ourselves with an institution that fails to uphold truth and justice for oppressed communities.

Unfortunately, because the person who does our social media was also making dinner at the same time, they failed to include any images of Habibti Liverpool volunteer Cat McCombs in our Instagram post earlier this evening.... 😱

As consolation, our social media person agreed to make a special post just with photos of Cat. These are some of her finest moments since the first time we met her on Granby Street Market about 100 years ago now... thanks for the memories!

Hello/Asalamalaikum everyone!

HIKE FOR PALESTINE...LET'S GO!

It's Bank Holiday Monday in just a few days and what better way to spend it than in the outdoors with friends and family at Aber Falls... and raising money for a good cause! The walk has been chosen so that families with children won't find it too hard, so it's a good thing to join if you want to head out for the day with your loved ones.

We're collaborating with other local organisations to raise money to support a retired NHS nurse, Leigh Evans, who is going to be part of the flotilla to Gaza and he is raising money to get baby food and resources in Gaza.

If you'd like to come along, there is a coach leaving from outside the PAL Centre on Mulgrave Street, L8, at 10am on Bank Holiday Monday, return by 8pm. Each seat on the coach is £20, with money after travel costs going towards the baby food fund. YOU CAN ALSO ASK FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO DONATE so there is maximum impact on the ground ❤️

For more details and to book, please message on WhatsApp on 07884 579428 or message We Are The People on Instagram ###xx
