A humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Iraq.

Driven from their homes by war, according to the United Nations 1.2 million Iraqis have fled for their lives over the last few weeks. Those who have remained have faced violence, forced religious conversion, sexual violence, torture and execution.

For those families who have fled the battle to survive is not over. Those families arriving in host communities need access to clean water, food, sanitation, medical treatment, shelter, blankets, clothing and cooking utensils.

But this is only the start. As this crisis continues longer term assistance must be provided to prevent the crisis getting worse, such as vaccinations to prevent epidemics, medication to treat chronic health conditions, access to schooling for children.

AMAR is one of the few organisations working on the ground in Iraq to help those ordinary families who have been forced to flee, and we are doing what we can on the ground.

But we can only deliver this aid with your help.

OVER 1 MILLION IRAQIS HAVE FLED THEIR HOMES. THOUSANDS HAVE LOST THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AND LOVED ONES. MANY MORE NOW HAVE NOTHING BUT THE CLOTHES ON THEIR BACKS. THEY ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP.

WINTER WARMER APPEAL FOR IRAQI REFUGEES

AMAR has developed a model that employs only local people when delivering projects in developing countries. With around 1,700 Iraqis working in Iraq at the start of this crisis, AMAR is uniquely placed to deliver the aid successfully.

And as a partner of the United Nations agencies coordinating the response AMAR is able to deliver aid at the right place and the right time to those most in need.

AMAR has worked with Iraqi refugees since 1991 and is committed to working with Iraqis until assistance is no longer required. In the meantime, the immediate need is great and urgent.

Please give all you can to support this work and help those in such desperate need of help.
