Die humanitäre Lage Islamic Relief möchte sich bei all ihren Spendern, Unterstützern, Partnern, Mitarbeitern und Freiwilligen bedanken, die uns dabei geholfen haben, das Leben von mehr als 3,3 Millionen Menschen im Jahr 2017 zu verbessern. Wir beten dafür, dass unsere Unterstützung im Jahr 2018 und darüber hinaus fortgeführt werden kann, ebenso wie wir für Frieden und ein Ende des Leids in Syrien beten. Im Jahr 2017 waren 6,5 Millionen Menschen in Syrien von Ernährungsunsicherheit betroffen, und weitere vier Millionen waren von akuter Ernährungsunsicherheit bedroht. Dies bedeutete, dass mehr als die Hälfte der Bedürftigen dringende lebensrettende und lebenserhaltende Nahrungsmittel sowie Hilfe bei der Landwirtschaft und beim Lebensunterhalt benötigten.

Islamic Relief's Global Climate Action This review describes Islamic Relief’s most recent interventions and highlights how communities are working with us to adapt to climate change and build resilience, including efforts to reduce the risk from future shocks. It also captures why Islamic Relief is vocal on climate change and climate justice issues, and how we are campaigning to reduce emissions, promote sustainable living and protect the most vulnerable. We use the term ‘climate change’ throughout this report, but recognise that what we are witnessing is something entirely different from what occurred throughout the earth’s history. This is climate breakdown, where the actions of humans are causing changes within decades that have previously taken millennia. To deal with this means questioning not only current environmental and economic policies, but entire political and economic systems.

Confronting Climate Change in Bangladesh Climate induced natural hazards are emerging and are becoming a major cause of concern, particularly in the coastal and haor areas of Bangladesh. There is growing evidence that these hazards are appearing more frequently. Over the last thirty years, Bangladesh has experienced nearly 200 climate-related disasters which have accounted for around $16 billion economic losses including the damage of assets, property and livelihoods. Tackling this challenge of climate change and natural disasters Islamic Relief Bangladesh has been implementing a project titled "Enhancing Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Resilience in Bangladesh" for the aected communities helping communities bounce back from the adversity. Here are a collection of photo stories from people who have survived – coped or confronted these challenges. We found many inspiring success stories during our time spent with communities. We believe this photo story book " Portraits of Resilience: Confronting Climate Change in Bangladesh" will generate a sense of hope highlighting what’s possible and portray the resilience of the people of our country.

Climate Change and Disaster Resilience Program Islam promotes a holistic approach to climate change and disaster resilience. It assumes a link and interdependency between all natural elements - it teaches that if humanity abuses or exhausts one element, the natural world as a whole will suffer direct consequences. With this in mind, and informed by our experience and learning, Islamic Relief in Bangladesh has adopted an integrated approach to address disaster and climate risks. In partnership with government, academic institutions, civil society, communities and the private sector, we are working to support a vibrant, thriving and resilient Bangladesh.

Six Mosques in Two Provinces This book reveals the fact that the mosque indeed has a potential role in disaster. Despite only a small number of the mosque being used for the research, it at least provides a portrait of how the mosques help the survivors in facing difficult times caused by the earthquake, starting from providing food assistance, clothing, shelter to the internally-displaced people, the provision of clean water and latrines, health care to advocacy for survivors who suffered injustice in the field. This study also concluded that the potential role of mosque during emergency response has received good appreciation from the survivors in particular and from the community as a whole. Unfortunately, the potential has not yet been fully explored and that the personnel in-charge (takmir) do not know many of the standard techniques and organisations in disaster. In order to strengthen and improve the strategic role of the mosque, it is hoped that the mosque could become one of the pillars in building the resilience on disaster management in Indonesia.

  Just over 5 months have passed since Cyclone “Aila” hit Bangladesh( 25 May 2009) but sufferings still continuing in the severely affected districts of Khulna and Shatkhira where more than 201,982 displaced people (70% of severely affected people) are still living in temporary places and shlters. According to the government estimate 1149 million US dollars is needed to assist in the recovery and reconstruction after Cyclone Aila. In addition to the government’s allocation, international humanitarian agencies have only contributed 20 million US dollars (as of 31 Oct’09). According to a recent (Oct’09) study done by the South Asia Association of Poverty Eradication, each affected household has seen their income decrease by approximately 44% as a result of Cyclone Aila. More than 60,000 people have migrated to search employment, as opportunities for income are very limited in the affected areas. Cyclone Aila fully or partially damaged more than 166 km coastal embankment and without repairing the broken embankments, livelihood recovery and people returning to their homes is not possible. Conducted by International agencies (ActionAid, Concern WorldWide, DanChurchAid, MuslimAid, Islamic Relief, Oxfam-GB and Save the Children-UK) currently involved in Aila response programme funded by ECHO.
