IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation is going to slaughter sacrificial animals in 100 countries in this Eid al Adha. By means of IHH, benevolent people of Turkey and other countries will send their sacrifices to their brothers and sisters living in needy places.

IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation takes the responsibility of many people who are stricken, disadvantaged because of wars, occupations, natural disasters, etc., injured, crippled, famished or homeless, and oppressed; and sends them necessary humanitarian aid. IHH, since its establishment, has worked in deprived geographies that nobody has gone in Balkans, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, the Far East, and America; and has held out a hand to the oppressed.

IHH carries out activities in the fields of emergency aid; social relief; educational, stationery and medical aid; and of redressing grievances that occur because of human rights violations. IHH reaches the depended people who are stricken because of wars, occupations or natural disasters; and who are routed out of their houses and has become refugees. After that, it supports them with aids in kind and cash assistances, and also with permanent projects.

IHH, who works for humanitarian relief in more than 70 countries, dispenses rations to depended people during the month of Ramadan and the Eid al Adha regularly. In this Eid al Adha period, IHH will be in 100 countries all over the world, in many countries of Africa, America, Middle East, Central Asia, Caucasia, the Balkans and Far East. It will slaughter sacrificial animals in these regions. It will bring some happiness to half million Muslims who live in aggrieved and deprived places. It will reach remote regions to be hope for the needy people and bring the salute of people from Turkey to them.

Eid al Adha is an appropriate opportunity to reach people who need water, food as well as schools, education centers, hospitals etc. IHH authorities made feasibility works in places during their Eid al Adha visits and return with reports from those regions. These visits become the starts of new projects. To be able to reach more people IHH waits for the contributions of benevolent people in Turkey and in other countries.

IHH and Turkey Voluntary Agencies Foundation (TGTV) that has more than 80 member foundations started a joint campaign for Pakistan earthquake.
IHH and Turkey Voluntary Agencies Foundation (TGTV)

started a new operation to prevent deaths resulting hypothermia and from the harsh winter weather. Plans are being drawn up to build permanent housing for the earthquake victims.
Keeping the cost of building materials low, a new house in the region will cost a small amount of money (700 New Turkish Liras). By keeping costs low, many more victims can benefit from the project.
Aid from other volunteer foundations in Turkey will be cooperating systematically which was announced at a press conference in the central offices of TGTV. TGTV is comprised of more than 80 volunteer foundations in Turkey and is an important provider of emergency relief in disasters. With the combination of IHH experience in the region and the power of TGTV, this cooperation seems to be a big step for the effective relief work in the earthquake region.

Food relief was done for Chechen refugees living in Istanbul and who cannot return their countries as their lives are threatened by the violence of the Russian invasion.

Chechen refugees from the second Chechen-Russian War (starting in 1999) and who are living in Istanbul have a more direct access to IHH food distribution. 120 Chechen refugee families have benefitted from the recent aid distribution. These refugees are living in three different camps in the Anatolian side of Istanbul, most of them being woman with children.
These refugees can only can only satify their food and shelter needs through charitable organizatiuons as they wait for a solution to their legal residence status and political problems surrounding the turmoil in their homeland.  The most important problem of the refugees is getting the legal status of a permanent refugee, which at present affects the education of the children and social services.

Kashmiri President, Serdar Muhammed Enver Khan, with Kashmiri Ministers, Ali Gür and Eyüp Akbal from MÜSİAD, and Hüseyin Oruç of IHH, attended to the opening ceremony of the health centers.
