Islamic Relief responds as floods devastate northeast Bangladesh
Islamic Relief is stepping up emergency aid as severe flooding has submerged entire communities in northeast Bangladesh.
With millions facing the harsh winter cold without protection, our 2023 Winter Appeal aims to provide essential support, offering warmth, nutrition, and resilience to families in Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan and more.
The Winter Appeal Initiative is our response to the dire consequences of extreme weather on numerous nations. It addresses the loss of lives, displacement of millions, and damage to critical infrastructure. Our goal is to support the most vulnerable, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, and host communities, during the harsh winter.
The program provides Winter Food Items and Winter Non-Food Items, including family food packs, supplements, heaters, warm clothes, and materials for reconstruction. This comprehensive approach ensures the well-being and comfort of those facing severe winter conditions.
We tailor the efforts to each locality’s specific needs during the winter of 2023-24. We prioritize collaboration, transparency, and communication with local communities and partners to address their actual challenges. As some places struggle with heat, others with shelter, etc.
The project runs from 1st Oct 2023 to 1st Apr 2024.
The Winter Appeal Initiative will be active across 18 countries during the 2023-24 winter season. These countries have been carefully selected due to the severe impact of extreme weather or poverty, leading to the displacement of millions and increased vulnerability among communities.
Our goal is to provide assistance to approximately 89,526 affected families, benefiting over 475,516 individuals. Additionally, it’s estimated that around 90,000 families will be able to safeguard themselves from severe harsh cold weather by utilizing the winter kits we provide. Your support will help us reach and support a wider population in need.
