Art for Humanity: A Fundraising Auction for Gaza by MERCY Malaysia 28 SEPT 2025, 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM HALL 1, MITEC, KL

MERCY Malaysia first began its humanitarian work in Gaza in 2008 and has maintained a continuous presence on the ground since 2011.

Over the years, the situation in Gaza has become increasingly dire. As of August 2025, the humanitarian crisis has reached catastrophic levels. Thousands of lives have been lost, critical infrastructure lies in ruins, and access to food, clean water, healthcare, and shelter
remains severely restricted. The toll on civilians, particularly women and children, has been devastating.

Despite these immense challenges, the people of Gaza continue to demonstrate extraordinary resilience. In response, MERCY Malaysia has expanded its humanitarian programming to include medical relief, public health interventions, clean water provision,
and food security support. In partnership with local communities and stakeholders, these efforts are complemented by long-term strategies to help communities rebuild and recover, including the rehabilitation of essential infrastructure and the promotion of local
agricultural livelihoods. 

This fundraising initiative is a collective act that has been mobilised through the generosity of artists, private collectors, curators, and auction partners who have come together in response to Gaza’s ongoing humanitarian crisis. Funds raised will be channelled
towards emergency medical aid, maternal and child health, mental health and psychosocial support, and the provision of essential supplies to communities affected by the ongoing crisis. MERCY’s work continues despite restricted access and the immense need.

More than 25 artworks will be available for auction, made possible through the generosity of prominent Malaysian artists, private collectors, and donors who have come together in solidarity to support MERCY Malaysia’s humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
