Since ISIS captured Mosul in June 2014, Samaritan’s Purse has been bringing relief to many of the more than 3 million Iraqis displaced by violence and terror. The complex military offensive to retake Mosul-Iraq’s second largest city-from ISIS control began October 17 and continues with a diverse coalition of around 100,000 troops pitted against several thousand ISIS militants.
The Iraqi military has now entered Mosul for the first time since 2014. Intense, street-to-street fighting to topple the terrorist organization from their last in-country stronghold could last weeks or even months. Samaritan’s Purse stands ready to provide relief to a potentially massive exodus of people escaping from Mosul into northern Iraq.
Help families in the Middle East who have been displaced as a result of violent conflict and religious persecution receive the physical and spiritual aid they so desperately need to cope with the resulting poverty and trauma.
