Clarifying our data

We have put in place additional due diligence processes and systems, and confirm that the correct number of people Islamic Relief helped in 2022 was 16.4 million. This year’s global reach total includes data about our work in Gaza, where an unprecedented escalation began in October 2023, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians and displacing many more, with still no end in sight at the time of writing. Though the enclave became the world’s most dangerous place for humanitarian workers, with considerable operational challenges, we have worked tirelessly to help the most vulnerable people (see pages 15-17). The reported number of people we helped in Gaza is based to the best of our ability on actual numbers with every effort made to account for instances in which people have been assisted by more than one of our projects.
