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 THE LAST 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.
SINCE JUNE 2014, AMAR TEAMS HAVE BEEN WORKING THROUGHOUT IRAQ TO HELP MORE THAN 3.4 MILLION INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS (IDPS) FORCED FROM THEIR HOMES BY THE ISLAMIC STATE (ISIL) INVASION IN THE NORTH AND WEST. WE NOW BUILD, EQUIP, AND RUN PURPOSE-BUILT HEALTH CLINICS FOR IDPS, EMPLOYING LOCAL PEOPLE AND USING LOCAL RESOURCES WHEREVER POSSIBLE.
Our AMAR #Irbil team recently ran recreational and education activities for children living in Hassan al-Sham camp near #Mosul to raise awareness of hygiene and healthcare. #rebuildinglives #Iraq
Those #SurvivingTerrorism in #Iraq, continue to struggle to have their voices heard. They often feel forgotten or neglected. People can only recover from the #trauma of terrorism with support. Please show your solidarity with the people of Iraq: bit.ly/2vXQTGP Retweeted by AMAR International
Great piece also on the threats to humanitarian funding in #Iraq. According to the UN, 2m Iraqis remain displaced and 8.7m need assistance. #humanitarian irinnews.org/analysis/2018/…
