Emergency Response
Our Emergency Response fund helps us provide rapid, efficient, and long-lasting aid to those devastated by conflict and natural disasters.
We are currently focusing our attention on our Winter Emergency to support the most vulnerable among us this season. Winter can be deadly for refugees, the homeless and impoverished families with no means to protect themselves. Our teams are on the ground in 8 international locations, providing warm blankets, winter clothing, shelter support, food packs and other life-saving winter aid.
Help us save lives this season.
When disaster strikes, we’re here to help.
Our Emergency Response teams are experts at quickly, efficiently and compassionately helping people survive war, famine and natural disasters.With your help, we’ve protected 1.7 million lives from danger in the last 11 years!
Donate now, and help us save lives in the midst of crisis.
Millions of people around the world are living under extreme conditions. Yemen is facing the worst famine the world has seen in a century. 1.8 million people in Southern Africa have been devastated by the recent Cyclone Idai. Syrians have endured over 8 years of war, and over 70% of those still in Syria need urgent humanitarian aid. There are millions of our brothers and sisters around the world who need Disaster Relief, with wars waging, conflicts ongoing and the number of natural disasters increasing every year due to climate change.
People in poorer countries are at least five times more likely to be displaced by extreme weather than people in rich countries. All of these issues are the most devastating to the people who have the least resources to cope with them – the world’s poorest, most marginalised people.
These people are suffering through no fault of their own.
We have to help.
Donate to our Emergency Response fund, and help the people who need it most today.
“Whoever saves a life, it is as if he has saved the whole of mankind” (Qur’an 5:32)
