Crisis Response

Gaza crisis: Supporting families in need

More than 15 months of horror and sorrow have traumatised an entire generation of Palestinian children.

Perhaps no other group of people in Gaza has suffered as much as children have throughout Israel’s sustained attack and siege. The emotional toll on children has been immense. They have been forced to cope with grief, fear, and uncertainty about the future.

Islamic Relief has been working in Gaza for nearly 30 years, and has worked tirelessly to save lives during the last 15 months of relentless Israeli attacks. With your support, we will continue to be a lifeline for the children and their families that have already suffered so much. Donate today.

Sudan crisis: Providing relief in a mental health crisis

Over half the population – including 16 million children – needs urgent humanitarian assistance. Food insecurity has reached historic and catastrophic levels, with famine conditions confirmed in parts of North Darfur. Millions more are at immediate risk of famine, particularly in the conflict-affected regions of Khartoum and Kordofan.

Providing vital support

Islamic Relief has a presence at numerous internally displaced persons (IDP) camps across Sudan, where we are providing important humanitarian relief in the form of food, safe drinking water and hygiene kits. We are also providing vital mental health support, implementing activities and programmes to help those who are suffering under the mental weight of nearly 2 years of conflict.

Islamic Relief has worked in Sudan for 40 years, providing vital humanitarian assistance including hygiene, food and mental health support. Please support our life-saving work by donating to our Sudan Emergency Appeal today.

Syria crisis: A critical situation

Displaced Syrians are now starting to return to their homes, although many camps across the country remain overcrowded. Cases of respiratory infections and diseases have risen significantly since early December 2024, exacerbated by the harsh Syrian winter.

Islamic Relief is responding

Islamic Relief has supported people in Syria throughout the crisis and we will continue to support as the country undergoes intense change.

We have been delivering food to 9,5000 households, while also distributing flour to bakeries to Aleppo and Homs to enable the production of bread, a staple food of Syrian communities. We have also delivered heating materials to 4,700 households and delivered medicine and medical equipment to cardiac and dialysis centres.

Future projects will focus on improving temporary shelters for internally displaced people, assisting returnees relocating back to their hometowns and diverting health projects to support newly accessible hospitals and health facilities in the major cities of Syria including Aleppo, Homs, Hama and Damascus.
