Middle East Emergency Appeal

A Region in Crisis

In just a matter of weeks, more than three million people have been displaced across the region. Entire communities have been uprooted, with families seeking safety wherever they can, crowding into schools, mosques, and makeshift shelters.

Across Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria, essential infrastructure is collapsing. Power outages have shut down water systems, leaving millions without safe drinking water. Hospitals are overwhelmed and running out of fuel, medicine, and supplies, while outbreaks of disease are beginning to spread in overcrowded camps.

With key trade routes disrupted and access severely restricted, food and other necessities are becoming increasingly scarce. For many families, instead of focusing on the blessed days of Dhul Hijjah, each day is a struggle to survive.

Our Emergency Response

Despite immense challenges, Muslim Aid and its partners are on the ground delivering urgent, lifesaving support.

At the Syria–Lebanon border, newly displaced families arriving after long and exhausting journeys are being met with immediate assistance, including ready-to-eat meals, bread, and clean drinking water. In Lebanon, support is reaching families sheltering in overcrowded schools and public spaces, providing essential items such as mattresses, blankets, and hot meals to restore a sense of dignity and relief.

These rapid responses are helping families at their most vulnerable moments—but the needs are growing faster than resources.
