Islamic Relief is responding to the devastating crisis which is threatening people across East Africa.   The full scale of the situation is now starting to emerge, due to several years without sufficient rainfall, rising food prices, devastated farmlands and failed harvests.

The United Nations have estimated that 10 million people are now in need of immediate humanitarian assistance. This has quickly become the worst drought in over 60 years.

It is now vital that the international community respond as quickly as possible. Islamic Relief have been on the ground delivering vital aid and assistance for many years.  Countless lives have been saved through our projects in the affected countries of Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia. We are now appealing for more funds to reach the rapidly growing number of people in need.

With your help we can make a world of difference, please donate generously to the DEC East Africa Crisis Appeal.
