Hamouda Qudaih leads the Warm Gaza Hearts clothing initiative in Khan Yunis, coordinating lifesaving clothing support for children and adults across the Gaza Strip. He focuses on young children from the most vulnerable families, including those with little or no shelter, no crowdfunding support, or who are orphaned, disabled, or injured.

Working closely with his sisters Ghada and Sanaa, Hamouda identifies families in need, manages detailed waitlists, and collaborates with beneficiaries to understand clothing sizes, needs, and preferences. He compares prices across multiple merchants to secure mid‑range clothing items at the lowest possible commission rates, ensuring donations stretch further. Hamouda also coordinates distribution so families can choose how and where to receive clothing, keeping the process respectful, flexible, and culturally sensitive.
