IRUSA to Join Global Initiative for Refugees

The Global Islamic Fund for Refugees is a joint initiative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Islamic Development Bank. On May 18, in Algeria, the Islamic Development Bank and IRUSA will sign an agreement to bolster the mission and address the urgent humanitarian needs of millions of forcibly displaced people through access to proper healthcare, clean water, sustainable livelihood, and so much more.

Gaza on Brink of Famine

A new report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) warns that Gaza’s entire population is at imminent risk of famine, with over 1 million people facing emergency levels of hunger.

At least 66 children have died of starvation amid the ongoing blockade.

Exacerbating the situation, Gaza’s Health Ministry has urgently appealed for essential medical equipment and supplies as hospitals are reportedly operating with severely outdated equipment. The ministry warned that the shortages are obstructing medical procedures and increasing the risk of infections, compounding an already dire healthcare crisis in Gaza.

While issues related to the delivery of humanitarian aid persist, IRUSA partners are continuing to work on the following interventions:

Distribution of 7 million+ hot meals to displaced families
Provision of gender-sensitive hygiene kits to people in shelters
Provision of vital medical supplies to healthcare facilities including Al-Ahli Arab Hospital
Access to mobile medical clinics for internally displaced people (IDPs)
Access to psychosocial support for children and adults including self-care workshops, mind-body skills groups, counseling sessions, and recreational activities
Winter aid for 49,665 IDPs
