Islamic Relief staff have seen for themselves the horrific situation inside Syria. Millions are thought to be in dire need of food, water and sanitation. In the countries that border [...]

Many refugees have lost family members, witnessed violence, and fled the destruction of their homes and cities, only to find themselves still living in fear abroad.

The intensification of conflict in Idlib continues to limit the provision of humanitarian assistance to the people in need. Damage anddestruction in Syria is also expected to lead to a fuel shortage and a significant reduction in [...]

More than 1,900 Palestinians, including women and children, have been killed and thousands more injured since conflict broke out in July.

Throughout West Africa, the impact of climate change has been strongly felt over the last 40 years, with increased desertification, cyclical droughts and flooding. As a result, the people of West Africa are suffering from repeated outbreaks of diseases, persistent malnutrition and currently one of the worst cases of food insecurity in the world. Islamic Relief has always aimed to be effective in alleviating poverty. This can only be achieved if disasters such as droughts and floods are controlled and mitigated. Islamic Relief believes that much poverty is linked to problems with water. With effective provision of water, communities can get [...]
