Myanmar Crisis Appeal

Violent clashes in Rakhine State have thousands dead and whole communities destitute without access to food or shelter.

Hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes and crossed the border to Bangladesh, in search of safety.

The United Nations estimates that over 700,000 people have fled their homes and sought refuge in Bangladesh since the 25th August 2018. This includes high numbers of women, children and elderly.

Camps are overcrowded, leaving little space for basic infrastructure. As a result, more than 90% of household water sources are highly contaminated with reported cases of E.coli and diphtheria having erupted.

Working in Myanmar since 2008

Islamic Relief has been working in Myanmar since 2008, delivering life-saving emergency aid, food and hygiene kits to those displaced by inter-communal violence. We’ve also rebuilt schools and provided healthcare through our innovative mobile boat clinics, which allows us to reach isolated communities.

Islamic Relief is on the ground inside Myanmar and has delivered life-saving humanitarian support to approximately 1.2 million people, but there are many more people desperately in need – please donate now and help save lives.

The current situation is amongst the worst of what we have encountered in this country. People are suffering from deaths, displacement, food shortages, and a lack of shelter and healthcare. Islamic Relief is doing all it can to help people in Myanmar.
