🔴 Words from #Sudan. “People were crying as they spoke to me. They’re scared and feel hopeless for the future and just want the world to help stop this nightmare.” 💔 Islamic Relief’s Regional Humanitarian Manager, Mohamed Abduwahid Omar, has just visited sites for displaced people in #Gedaref, which has received hundreds of thousands of people fleeing the violence. We ask that you please keep the people of Sudan, and our teams on the ground in your prayers. | iruk.co/sudan 🤲🏼
About us
"Whoever saved a life, it would be as if they saved the life of all mankind." (Qur'an 5:32) Islamic Relief is an international non-governmental organisation (INGO) founded in the UK in 1984 by a group of medical doctors and activists. Since 1984 we have saved and transformed the lives of over 117 million people. By responding to disasters, rebuilding lives and preparing people in case disaster strikes – we save lives before they are lost. In addition to providing disaster and emergency response, we also promote sustainable economic and social development by working with local communities – regardless of race, religion or gender. Our Mission: Together we will inspire and enable people to respond rapidly to disasters and fight poverty through our Islamic values, expertise and global reach. Our Values: We remain guided by the timeless values and teachings of the Qur’an and the prophetic example (Sunnah), most specifically: - Sincerity (Ikhlas) – In responding to poverty and suffering, our efforts are driven by sincerity to God and the need to fulfil our obligations to humanity. - Excellence (Ihsan) – Our actions in tackling poverty are marked by excellence in our operations and the conduct through which we help the deserving people we serve. - Compassion (Rahma) – We believe the protection and well-being of every life is of paramount importance and we shall join with other humanitarian actors to act as one in responding to suffering brought on by disasters, poverty and injustice. - Social Justice (Adl) – Our work is founded on enabling people and institutions to fulfil the rights of the poor and vulnerable. We work to empower the dispossessed towards realising their God-given human potential and develop their capabilities and resources. - Custodianship (Amana) – We uphold our duty of custodianship over Earth and its resources, and the trust people place in us as a humanitarian and development practitioner to be transparent and accountable.

🔴 Many families in #Gaza, already forcibly displaced countless times since October 7, are on the move yet again – including humanitarian workers critical to providing the limited aid response that is still possible. At least 24 NGOs have reported impacts from Israeli orders recently, resulting in the forced displacement of staff members, operations disrupted, and at least one site sheltering civilians under attack. Warehouses storing supplies are located within the blocks that have come under orders that are resulting in forcible displacement. Humanitarian actors MUST be allowed to deliver aid based on need, rather than the designation of safe areas by a party to the conflict.

🔴 500 days of war has turned #Sudan into the world’s biggest hunger crisis. "I met many people with sunken eyes and emaciated bodies, going two days without eating anything at all." 💔 Our colleague on the ground warns that starvation is spreading across the country. 📝 "People were crying as they spoke to me. They’re scared and feel hopeless for the future and just want the world to help stop this nightmare."

🔴 #SUDAN 500 days have passed since the start of a brutal conflict that has left chaos, displacement, and now famine in its wake. In recent months, the fighting has spread to many of Sudan’s main agricultural regions, devastating food production and pushing communities further into acute hunger. 💔 Time is running out for the people of Sudan, who are in desperate need of humanitarian aid, and an end to the war. Visit iruk.co/sudan to donate to our emergency appeal. 🙏🏽 Cover image captured by Ala Kheir (@/ala.kheir), depicting displaced Sudanese at Renk Port.

🔴 500 days of war has turned #Sudan into the world’s biggest hunger crisis, and starvation is spreading across the country. Despite the enormous suffering, the crisis is largely neglected by the world. We ask that you keep the people of Sudan, and our teams on the ground, in your duaas. 🤲🏼 📷 | Hassan Kamil

🚨 "My sisters can’t decide what are the most important things to take – in a displaced person’s life, every item is valuable, and every item helps us survive. "We can’t carry everything, but how can we decide what to leave behind?" These are words from colleague on the ground in #Gaza, who, like many other Palestinians, has been forcibly displaced from the place they call home. 💔 Almost a quarter of a million people have been affected by orders this August alone, with many extremely vulnerable individuals – such as the elderly, the sick, pregnant women, and malnourished children – among those forced to move into ever-shrinking parts of Gaza.

🔴 In #Bangladesh, an estimated 3.66 million people have been impacted by flooding, as heavy Monsoon rains hit the northeastern and southeastern districts of Bangladesh and upstream in Tripura, India. Most of the affected districts do not frequently experience such disasters, leaving many people with little to no preparedness or awareness of how to respond. 💔 Islamic Relief teams, including a well-equipped surge team, are on the ground and responding to the crisis. Time is of the essence – please consider donating to our Crisis Watch fund, to support those affected by the floods. 🙏🏽 🤲🏼 iruk.co/crisis-watch
