Islamic Relief Canada

The decade long conflict in #Syria has displaced hundreds of thousands of families, forcing them to live in challenging situations. In 2023, the airstrikes impacting Idlib City forced families to flee their homes and settle in tents. The cold and rainy season made it difficult for families to survive in thin shelters. Our team on the ground identified the need for urgent heating material. Because of you, we distributed heating material to families like Khawla's who were able to make the cold tents warmer for their families. #Conflict #Charity #FollowYourDonation #Humanitarian

Over the past 11 months, more than 14,100 children have been killed in Gaza, and nearly 90% of schools and all universities have been damaged or destroyed. The violence has also claimed the lives of over 390 teaching staff, leaving countless students without access to education. Classrooms that once brimmed with hope have become symbols of despair and loss. We cannot normalize the continued attacks on schools and children. Children need books, not bombs #BacktoSchool #Education #Canada #NewSchoolYear

When flash floods struck Bangladesh last week, severely impacting millions, Islamic Relief was immediately on the ground, responding to the disaster and providing emergency humanitarian assistance to affected families. As Bangladesh frequently faces natural disasters, our team is well-experienced in responding efficiently and effectively. At Islamic Relief, not only do we answer the call when disaster strikes, but we also prioritize long-term sustainable development and continue to work with communities to build resilience and restore stability. #Bangladesh #ClimateChange #Humanitarian

Over 500 schools in #Gaza have been destroyed, shattering the dreams of countless children. 💔 As millions across the world go #BackToSchool, we will not stop advocating and praying for the right to education and safety for every child in #Gaza. Remember their stories. Remember their dreams. #GazaUnderAttack #SchoolLife #BackToSchoolSeason #GazasChildrenNeedBooksNotBombs #EducationForAll

The devastating #Jasper wildfires last month left many families vulnerable after they lost their possessions and homes. 💔 Our team in #Calgary has been actively working on-the-ground to assess the situation and be a source of comfort to those affected. This #BacktoSchool season, many parents are finding it challenging to provide school supplies to their children after being impacted by the wildfires. With our incredible partners JustServe and Full Circle, we were able to distribute back to school supplies to 50 students in the Hinton area. 🎒📝 A huge shoutout to our amazing team and donors for helping these children start their new school year smoothly. 🙏 #JasperWildfires #GiveBack #Alberta #CommunityWork #BacktoSchoolSupplies

One of our staff members in #Gaza shares this heart-wrenching reflection on the uncertainty of his children's future. 💔 While kids around the world are heading #backtoschool, children in Gaza have been out of school for months. Every child deserves a bright future and the opportunity to learn in a safe and nurturing environment. #GazasChildrenNeedBooksNotBombs #GazaUnderAttack #SchoolSeason #BacktoSchoolSeason #ChildrensRights

Nearly 11 million have been displaced within Sudan, leaving thousands of families in harsh conditions and exposed to the risk of disease outbreaks. As cholera spreads and monkeypox cases emerge, fatality rates continue to rise with families seeking refuge in overcrowded areas lacking clean water and sanitation. Despite the enormous suffering, the crisis in Sudan is largely neglected by the world. Islamic Relief calls on international governments for an immediate ceasefire and urgent public health interventions. #Sudan #Cholera #HealthCrisis #Conflict #EyesOnSudan

🚨 #Sudan is in crisis: 500 days of war have left 25.6 million people facing severe hunger, with 13 million forced to flee their homes. In #Darfur, children are suffering from malnutrition, with some families resorting to eating leaves and animal feed. Famine has been declared in North Darfur's Zamzam camp, where several children die each day. Despite the enormous suffering, the crisis in Sudan is largely neglected by the world. Our teams have reached over 950,000 people with vital aid, but more support is urgently needed. The world must act now to ensure an immediate ceasefire, protect civilians, and increase humanitarian aid. 🌍🙏 #SudanConflict #HumanitarinAid #HumanRights #Conflict
