War, floods, earthquakes, drought and famine claim millions of lives worldwide every year. Those who survive are often uprooted and forced to seek temporary shelter without access to clean water, adequate sanitation, or food. Some remain in refugee camps indefinitely, enduring squalid conditions and severe health risks.
Over 35 million people across the world live as refugees or internally displaced people.

Whether the emergency is natural or man-made, IR tends to the immediate needs of its victims by distributing food, medicine, tents and clothing, while assessing what long-term reconstruction can be undertaken.
Through its years of experience, Islamic Relief has gained the trust and cooperation of international aid agencies and government authorities, including the UN World Food Programme (WFP), the UK Department for International Development (DFID), and the European Commission for Humanitarian Aid (ECHO).
