A UK Charity, We Care Foundation, has been funding an organisation which apparently provides logistical support for Hamas.
Documents from Hamas have been released by the IDF that show funds from the Palestinian charity Qawafil Al Khair have been used for providing food parcels to members of the Hamas military wing in Gaza.
An X post dated 20 November 2025 shows an internal Hamas report from 2023 which indicated Hamas uses funds from Qawafil to distribute food parcels to the military wing. Another document details Hamas’s request to Qawafil for economic support for one of its operatives.
UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) raised concerns to the English Charity Commission in February 2025 about the We Care Foundation, which was openly raising funds for Qawafil Al Khair. UKLFI has now provided the new information to the Commission.
Qawafil was founded by two former terrorists, who praised murders by “resistance fighters” and posted on X images of Israeli hostages being beaten and paraded through the streets of Gaza.
“There are often clues that charity funding destined for Gaza is likely to be going to terrorists but it is difficult to find specific proof. In this instance it appears that Hamas’s own documents have revealed that this is the case”, said a spokesperson for UKLFI.
The English Charity Commission had opened a statutory inquiry into the We Care Foundation under section 46 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’) on 25th January 2024 and its bank accounts were frozen. This statutory inquiry was not related to funding Qawafil but was looking into concerns around trustees’ decision-making and payments from the charity to its trustees and their related companies. The Charity Commission has now appointed an interim manager for the We Care Foundation.
