Islamic Relief Fund fliers
I've been seeing these in classrooms

In both of my classrooms today there were Islamic Relief Fund Fliers in classrooms. I know that they are advertising helping people in Gaza and Syria, but who are they helping? Are these advertisements sanctioned?

Hi Aaron,
I'm the President of the Arab Student Union and we are the ones responsible for posting these fliers all around campus. We are collaborating with the Organization of Arab Students at UMD and both of our group names are mentioned on the flyer, right next to Islamic Relief USA.
As for Islamic Relief and why we chose to work with them: They are one of the few organizations that actually have offices in Gaza and Syria. This means that while many organizations may be generally helping out with rebuilding efforts, Islamic Relief provides emergency relief to these areas. You can check the links below to get a better understanding of how they are helping in both Gaza and Syria.

If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to email or message myself or anyone from our group.
