Islamic Relief UK extends coronavirus appeal to support Middle East’s most vulnerable communities on anniversary of the Yemen crisis
Thursday 26 March 2020 - International aid charity Islamic Relief UK is extending its emergency coronavirus appeal to support the Middle East’s most vulnerable communities, including in Yemen, which today marks five years since the escalation of its humanitarian crisis.
Last week, the faith-inspired organisation released £500,000 for partner charities in the UK to support communities affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. It also launched an appeal to its supporters, asking them to fund more of this invaluable work.
Today, it is extending this appeal to reach some of the world’s most vulnerable communities in Gaza, Syria and Yemen, which now face outbreaks of the deadly virus.
