Iraq has been affected by conflict for decades. Ongoing fighting in Mosul and surrounding areas has forced thousands of children and their families to flee their homes in search of safety.
With nowhere to go except camps for displaced people, many are now living in flimsy tents and shelters, which do little to protect them from freezing weather in the winter. Access to basic but essential needs such as food, clean water and toilets, is extremely limited.
With your help, we can be there for children and their families in Iraq when they need us most. Please, donate today.
When Islamic State (ISIS) forces attacked their village in Northern Iraq, Soleen and her family were forced to flee their home. Now living in a camp for those displaced by the conflict, Soleen attends a War Child community centre where she can play, learn and be a child again.
War Child UK is the only specialist charity for children affected by conflict. For 30 years, we've been driven by a single goal - for no child's life to be torn apart by war. Regular monthly gifts are essential for ensuring we can be there for children living through conflict, both now and into the future Your support means we can provide life-saving aid when conflict breaks out, and stay to support children through their recovery - keeping them safe, helping them learn and cope with their experiences, and equipping them with skills for the future. You can help us be there for children who need us most, when they need us most. Your donations will be used to fund our life-saving work in Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Ukraine and Yemen.
