Emergency Relief

Mosaic Middle East works through local partners to deliver emergency help when a crisis occurs. This means we can respond quickly to meet immediate needs and ensure that help reaches those who are most velnerable. Humanitarian relief provides immediate support to communities in crisis, reducing desperation and fostering stability. Ensuring fair distribution of aid across different ethnic and religious groups helps prevent resentment and tensions, promoting peaceful coexistence and reconciliation.

Responding to Need

Emergency Relief

The need for emergency humanitarian relief has not diminished in Iraq. There were an estimated 1.6 million IDPs in Iraq in 2019 (data from the Institute of Migration). Having endured 6 years of suffering, the IDPs now have to deal with the Coronavirus and feel forgotten by all sides.

Ibrahim, a father with 2 children told us:

“Your support just came at the right moment. Barely can you find an organisation to come and help us. I really appreciate Mosaic Middle East’s support for the vulnerable families in our camp”

Our vision includes providing relief to the poor, the sick and older people, relieving material needs. This prompted our response to the arrival of 13,000 weary and fearful refugees fleeing renewed conflict in Syria. About half of the refugees arriving at the Bardarash refugee camp were children and of different ethnic and religious groups, including Kurdish and Christian. The vision of radiating Christ’s love to all across sectarian divides is at the heart of Mosaic Middle East’s identity.

We continue to provide thousands of people in refugee camps with hygiene packs during the Coronavirus crisis.
