Project Overview

Distribution of food, jerry cans, blankets, kitchen sets, medicated soap and plastic sheets.

Project Background

Heightened tensions along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kargil and Dras resulted in the killing of 75 civilians and thousands being forced to leave their homes. Most of the damage reported was in the Samahni District in Bhimber. Neelum Valley was the worst affected in light of the fact that it contains the largest population of people living alongside the LoC.

Project Objectives:

To offer relief to those affected by the increased tensions.

Project Activities:

  • Distributing food, jerry cans, blankets, kitchen sets, medicated soap and plastic sheets.

    • How Islamic Relief Helps

    Islamic Relief is an international aid agency that works in over 25 countries worldwide.

    Our work covers emergency preparedness, full-scale disaster response, rehabilitation and long-term development projects.

    Over the years IR has provided communities with public services, such as water and education. We have now moved towards a ‘rights-based approach’, helping communities to become self-sufficient and encouraging them to expect their governments to provide adequate public services.

    IR works in partnership with communities, aid agencies, local organisations and governments.
