From natural disasters to prolonged crises, Islamic Relief supported people at their moment of greatest need.
We provided lifesaving food, water and shelter when crises struck. In the aftermath, we helped people to take their first steps on the road to recovery. Some of our emergency responses in 2025 were supported by fundraising appeals.

* This is higher than the total number of people supported by Islamic Relief in Gaza in 2025 (500,000) because it is based on the type of project (‘emergency’ and ‘humanitarian’) and includes individuals who have received support from more than one emergency project. For example, a family in Gaza may receive fresh vegetables from one emergency project and psychosocial support from another project.
