Feed the Needy

During Ramadan, Muslims are encouraged to be charitable. Feeding people at the end of the fasting day represents a very rewarding spiritual act according to Islamic tradition and teachings. Islamic Relief’s Ramadan Food Program offers an opportunity for many needy people around the world who face food insecurity and hunger to be provided with a ‘Ramadan Food Packet’, which ensures that their burden is eased during the month of Ramadan. Each distributed food packet contains an amount of basic food commodities (approximately 33 pounds on average) for a family of 5 for the month of fasting. Each food packet is designed to consist of the most basic required dietary food materials, as suitable for the region/country.

Every year a wide range of beneficiaries are selected, including widows, orphans, destitute, aged, disabled, refugees and people affected by disasters. The beneficiaries are selected in conjunction with local welfare groups working alongside Islamic Relief offices worldwide.

Pakistan Flood Emergency Appeal

Pakistan Flood Emergency Appeal

Monsoon rains have caused extensive flash flooding throughout Pakistan, killing more than a thousand people and causing widespread damage. Around 2.5 million people have been affected, and the rains are expected to worsen this week.

Three days of torrential rains caused rivers to burst their banks in several places and unleashed widespread destruction in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, destroying houses, bridges, schools, roads and railway tracks.

Mian Iftikhar Hussain, information minister for Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa announced the latest death toll. He added, "We fear the death toll will rise once the water recedes. We are facing the worst disaster in the history of our province."

Amongst the worst hit areas are Nowshera Charsadda and Swat with hundreds and thousands of people without food, shelter or clean water.

Hundreds of homes and thousands of acres of farmland were destroyed in the North West Frontier Province and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, uprooting entire communities and isolating victims. Many of them have nowhere to go.

The 3 million citizens of Peshawar, the region’s largest city, have been cut off from surrounding areas. Survivors are taking shelter in schools, mosques and areas of high ground.

“There were no boats, so we had to use our beds or inflate tubes to float to safer places,” Ghani Mohammad told reporters in Charsadda, one of the worst-affected districts. “We have not received any help. There is no food and no water.”

East Africa Food Crisis Appeal

admin — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 09:39:15 +0000

East Africa Food Crisis Appeal

A deadly combination

The food crisis across East Africa has badly affected Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda and Kenya. Drought is one of the major factors, along with a number of other issues:

Changing seasons

Failed or poor rains are becoming increasingly frequent, leaving communities with less and less time to recover.

In Somalia this is the fifth successive season of poor rains, in Ethiopia it is the fourth and Kenya the third. Communities in northern Kenya recall that rains used to fail once a decade, whereas now they fail every two or three years. The weather in northeast Uganda is also becoming increasingly unpredictable, with longer dry spells. When the rains do come it is often in the form of heavy showers causing floods and landslides. If the drought continues we will not be able to raise any animals as there will be no pasture or water. So we will have no money to send our children to school. If we can't get money from raising animals we don't know what else we can do.

Kadra Good, Harshin, Ethiopia

High food prices

Although the price of staple foods and cereals has fallen since the peak of last year, it remains far above usual prices and unaffordable to many families. In Ethiopia the retail price of white maize– the staple most consumed by the poor – is still 72 per cent higher than the five-year average. In parts of Kenya, maize and beans are 170 per cent higher than normal, while in parts of northeast Uganda prices are 170 per cent above average for millet, 140 per cent for sorghum and 130 per cent for maize.

The cost of water is also rising – in rural Kenya a jerry can of water now costs three times its normal price. People are forced to sell their assets – such as livestock – to pay for food and water, alleviating short term hunger but exacerbating long-term problems.

Conflict and displacement

Violent conflict in Somalia has disrupted food production and made poor people even more vulnerable. A quarter of Somalia’s population (1.8m people) have fled their homes, making it much harder to grow food. Roads are highly insecure, meaning food cannot reach markets. In Kenya, food production is much lower since the post-election violence and displacement. In northern Uganda, an influx of returning families after years of conflict has created new pressures. In Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda, there are increasing problems with localised conflicts over scarce resources.

Lack of investment and development

It is no coincidence that many of the areas most affected are rural areas which have suffered decades of neglect and under-development from successive governments, particularly in Kenya and Uganda. Groups such as pastoralists are particularly at risk. These are areas with little access to education, healthcare, water and sanitation – making them even more vulnerable.
African governments and international donors continue to under-invest in small-scale community agriculture and national food production, leaving countries vulnerable to global economic markets and trends.

Haiti Earthquake Appeal

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:28:14 +0000

Haiti Earthquake Appeal

The massive earthquake that struck the Caribbean island of Haiti has left around 200,000 people dead and many more seriously injured.

The epicentre of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake was just 16 kilometres from the capital Port-au-Prince. Much of the city is made up of slums and poorly constructed houses that could not withstand the force of the earthquake.

Homes, government buildings, offices and hotels all lie in ruins. An estimated 1.5 million people are homeless with most still living out on the streets or in makeshift camps.

Hospitals are struggling to cope with the large numbers of injured people. The water system has been destroyed and the lack of clean water is raising fears of a public health crisis and a possible second disaster caused by serious waterborne diseases.

There is an urgent need for emergency food, clean water, shelter and medical care for those whose lives have been shattered by this tragedy.

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, and struggles from endemic poverty, food shortages and violence. It has suffered from many recent natural disasters including serious hurricanes and storms in 2008.

Yemen Emergency Appeal

admin — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 08:37:51 +0000

Yemen Emergency Appeal

The latest round of violent conflict between government forces and Al Houthi rebels has been raging in northern Yemen since August 2009. The fighting has displaced more than 250,000 people, mainly women and children. People have fled south where some have sought refuge in camps, while others are living in makeshift shelters by the side of the road or with local host families.

The conflict has now spread to 13 districts in Sa’ada and neighbouring governorates including Amran, and civilians continue to be killed and injured on a daily basis. However, health facilities are struggling to continue operating, leading to concerns over outbreaks of disease.

Food shortages

Many basic necessities are no longer available in the market. Food in Sa’ada is running low and the cost of what is available has risen dramatically, but people are afraid to leave their homes to travel to the markets. There are also shortages of fuel and frequent blackouts, and all communication lines are currently down.

Because of the volatile security situation, few humanitarian workers are able to get access to those still trapped in the conflict zone.

Overcrowded camps

Those who have managed to flee from Sa’ada have travelled further south to neighbouring governorates such as Hajjah, Amran and Al Jowf or tried to cross the border into Saudi Arabia. Some are staying with friends and relatives; others are living in public buildings such as schools, while an increasing number have settled in overcrowded camps and in informal settlements along the road.

With a growing number of displaced people and continued insecurity, aid agencies are struggling to provide all the necessary basic services. There are also concerns that overcrowding and limited health services, could lead to serious health problems.

There are currently more than 16,200 displaced people living in Al Mazrak 1 camp near Haradh which is being managed by Qurbani Foundation, and the numbers are growing on a daily basis. Al Mazrak 1 now houses more than double its intended capacity, with more people camped outside waiting for assistance.

To ease the pressure on this camp, Qurbani Foundation has set up and is running Al Mazrak 3 which currently houses around 800 people.

Psychological trauma

Inside the camps over 80 per cent of the residents are women and children, many of whom are suffering from trauma. There are also many health problems with around one third of the children in the camp suffering from malnutrition.

With no end to the conflict in sight there is an urgent need to ensure that all the displaced people are provided with food, shelter, healthcare and protection, as well as extending to the same support to those still trapped in the conflict zone.
