As the clock ticks, a humanitarian disaster is expected to unfold in Mosul, northern Iraq. UNHCR and humanitarian agencies predict that more than 1 million people could be displaced due to the offensive by Iraqi Government forces to retake the country’s second city.
UNHCR
UNCHR is working around the clock with its partners to ensure full preparedness for the expected displacement to support families who will need urgent assistance in the form of shelter, food, water or medical support.
The funds are desperately needed to build camps and to provide urgently needed relief supplies for displaced families, including winter kits ahead of expected freezing temperature in northern Iraq.

The evolving tragedy in Mosul has resulted in a humanitarian catastrophe. The numbers of people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance is expected to reach 13-14 million very soon. The human cost of war is a fatal and dishonorable price to pay.
Hundreds of thousands will escape Mosul in the next few weeks, there are a great number of civilians who are still living under siege. These civilians are likely to be at the highest risk of hunger, thirst, disease, brutality as well as facing human right violations.
The passage of time in Iraq has been wickedly painted with war, hardship and loss. Another generation will grow, deprived of the cohesion, support and opportunities we are blessed to have.
We aim to support refugees who are suffering from the crisis and helping them survive this tragedy.
Iraq has endured decades of disaster and calamity. The people of Mosul have faced exile and fear for too long.
Lend a hand, Join our family and Respond Now to this crisis.
Muslim Aid
The ongoing conflict in Iraq is now focused in Mosul, where a humanitarian catastrophe is unravelling and escalating with each day that passes.
Constant bombardment, a lack of food and water and damaged infrastructure are the devastating results of this conflict. Thousands have escaped the unimaginable conditions in Mosul, many risking their lives doing so, with a further 1 million expected to flee.
Muslim Aid is at the forefront of the humanitarian response in Iraq, having already established a camp in the Salah-Al-Din province to support displaced families and rehabilitated the Shaqlawa collective centre which serves displaced families. We are also providing water and sanitation facilities, essential items for hygiene and living, and access to electricity and communal kitchens.
