Relief kits for families in IraqOver the past five years, 2.8 million people have fled their homes for safer locations within Iraq. While some displaced people have returned home, many are hesitant to, because they do not want to risk facing the same threats and terror that forced them to flee. In response to requests from three long-term partner organizations, MCC is undertaking a $2-million humanitarian crisis response. MCC is sending 20,000 relief kits, 62,000 blankets, 62,000 school kits, 12,000 newborn kits and 5,500 sewing kits to be distributed in 11 of the 18 governates in Iraq. Relief kits are urgently needed. Other items such as heavy blankets, newborn kits and sewing kits also are required. Learn how to make relief kits.
