Thousands of innocent civilians, many of them children, are without food or water following the battle for Mosul. Nearly 1 million people have fled the city since the fighting began. Our team on the ground is delivering emergency relief - food, water, medical supplies - to over 30,000 internally displaced people and refugees each month.

While many hope for an end to the conflict in Iraq, sectarian violence has become the norm, with rival groups fighting for power and land. Consequently, the humanitarian crisis in the region has grown exponentially, with over 3 million people displaced from their homes.

As a Christian charity, our calling is to help the dispossessed regardless of religious affiliation. Through our unique partnership with the Syrian Orthodox and Armenian churches in Northern Iraq, as well as our partnership with the Bishara organisation, we continue to feed 5,000 families every month in the IDP camps of Iraqi Kurdistan (this includes Christians, Muslims and Yazidis).

Through our church partners in Jordan, we are supporting 700 Iraqi Christian families who have fled to Amman and are waiting for asylum in the West (a process which can take up to 3 years). In addition to monthly food packages, we also provide money for sheltered accommodation.

As a registered charity, we operate within the framework set out by the Charity Commission for England and Wales (our charity number is 1133576). Your donations qualify for Gift Aid (in 2016 we raised an additional £108,511 in Gift Aid from the donations made to us). This money equates to an extra 650 emergency food packages per month.
