AMAR IS AN AWARD-WINNING CHARITY THAT WORKS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, BUILDING AND IMPROVING THE LIVES AND LIVELIHOODS OF SOME OF THE WORLD’S POOREST AND MOST DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE.
FOR OVER 25 YEARS WE HAVE PROVIDED PROFESSIONAL HEALTH AND EDUCATION ON A SUSTAINED AND LASTING BASIS, AND TODAY WE DELIVER TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MEDICAL CONSULTATIONS EACH YEAR.
AMAR RUNS HEALTH CLINICS FOR THE 2 MILLION PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY DISPLACED IN IRAQ. WE HAVE BEEN OPERATING IN THE INTERNALLY DISPLACED PEOPLE (IDP) CAMPS SINCE JUNE 2014, WHEN THE INVASION BY ISLAMIC STATE FORCED MILLIONS FROM THEIR HOMES. WHEREVER POSSIBLE, WE EMPLOY LOCAL PEOPLE AND USE LOCAL RESOURCES TO BRING ABOUT SUSTAINABLE CHANGE.
Really interesting and informative video on Dr @Laith_Rubaiy's work with AMAR in #Basra #Iraq, how the Iraqi #healthcare system has changed and his plans for the future. twitter.com/LNWH_NHS/statu…
Dr Laith Al Rubaiy talks about periodically returning to Iraq to provide medical support in his hometown of Basra @IMAUK1 @AMARLondon @BritSocHaem and further afield in the Arab Marshes. https://t.co/U5UfphnZ1R

Today is World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. AMAR champions #CulturalDiversity, including #Yazidi culture - which has been so threatened by ISIS. During a recent project at Lalish, the Yazidis' spiritual home, we met many in traditional Yazidi dress.
#ICYMI last week - this heartwarming story about Amar, who was brought to the UK as an orphaned #Iraqi child three decades ago, is still available to watch on BBC iPlayer. twitter.com/AMARLondon/sta… Retweeted by AMAR International
