Focus on Afghanistan
The Afghan crisis is one of the biggest humanitarian crises our world has faced. Conflict, violence, and chronic poverty have forced more than 6 million people to be displaced, both within Afghanistan and in other countries. Women and young girls are among those most affected. And the conflict is only escalating, putting a strain on both the Afghan community and their host communities alike.
How Islamic Relief Is Helping Afghans
Islamic Relief has made a commitment of $2.1 million to help both families across Afghanistan and the 83,000 refugees newly arrived in the US.
Together, with our regional offices in Kabul, Balkh, Herat, and Nangarhar, we are working to help provide those in need with the following:
- Food packages including staple items like flour, rice, oil, and sugar
- Essential non-food items such as hygiene kits, household items, and clothing
- Emergency equipment such as family-sized tents
We are also teaming up with our partner network to help our new Afghan neighbors transition into their new homes through the following:
- Greeting orientations, transportation from the airport, and interpreters upon arrival
- Cash, rental, and legal assistance
- Hygiene kits and clothing
- Food boxes including items like flour, rice, oil, sugar, lentils, beans, salt, and green tea
- Mental health and psychosocial support
- Medical case management
