The rapid advance across Iraq by militant fighters from Islamic State threw the country into chaos.
The extremist group announced the establishment of a “caliphate” across parts of Iraq and Syria and forced many minority communities from their homes.
It is a grim situation for those who have escaped. Emergency aid is vital for victims who have only the bare minimum of their belongings. With the generosity of our supporters, Aid Distribution International is providing emergency relief items such as food, blankets, medicine and kitchen utensils to those who have fled their homes.
