Islamic Relief staff throughout the Middle East region—specifically in Yemen and along the Syrian border—have reported increased violence in recent days. One staffer said that attacks, with unknown motivations, are becoming more frequently. The staff members themselves have even had to run to safety. All this while the harsh cold and rain of winter sets in. Internally displaced families and refugees are in desperate need of your prayers, compassion, and aid right now.
YOUR AID, THEIR RELIEF
Prolonged conflict and natural disasters have destroyed the communities and economies that once thrived so well in the Middle East, leaving millions of people displaced now as refugees from the places they once called home. Many nations within the Middle East are undergoing great changes and challenges on a road to recovery. IRUSA is partnering to empower countless families across countries like Iraq, Jordan, Tunisia, Lebanon, and Yemen. We support millions of (refugees) on their path to recovery.
By implementing many programs such as emergency food projects, water system development, and livelihood training for vulnerable women, IRUSA is helping the Middle East to keep moving forward. And right now, in emergency zones like Syria and Yemen, the dedication of donors is providing urgent medical aid, food supplies, shelter and more to those in need. It’s only through your compassion and your continued support that our brothers and sisters throughout the region know that they are not alone.
Thank you for being there for them during their most difficult times. Your aid is their relief.
