Emergency Relief

 

It is the mandate of Islamic Relief to respond to both natural and man-made emergencies.

 

In cases of emergency, it is the priority of IRPAL to provide as many people as possible with the basic necessities of food, water, shelter and medical treatment. When possible, it endeavors to implement relief projects with a sustainable impact that continues beyond the course of its intervention.


In Palestine, IRPAL finds itself having to effectively respond to both natural emergencies and emergencies stemming from the volatile security situation. IRPAL responds to unfolding emergencies with the aim of alleviating the suffering of those affected.
