For 2025 Eid al-Adha, IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation delivered 112,207 qurbani meat shares from our donors to nearly 142,000 people in need across 60 countries. Thanks to our donors, IHH was also able to gift holiday clothing to 41,601 orphans and underprivileged children in 15 countries.

At a side event held as part of the ECOSOC Humanitarian Affairs Segment (HAS) 2025 in Geneva, the future of humanitarian aid was addressed with a focus on localization, community leadership, and justice-based approaches. Dr. Durmuş Aydın, Secretary General of IHH (The Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief), participated as a speaker in the panel.

IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation held a press conference regarding the attack carried out by the occupying Israeli forces in Gaza, which resulted in the martyrdom of its five personnel. At the conference, IHH President Bülent Yıldırım said that “Since October 7, 2023, 11 of our colleagues have been martyred. However, the highest number of martyrs in a single incident occurred in this latest attack. The vehicle was deliberately targeted. Their goal is to block humanitarian aid. Israel must not think that it can hit a Turkish organization and the Turks won’t react. On Sunday at 2:00 PM, let’s organize such a powerful protest from Fatih Mosque to Hagia Sophia Mosque that its voice can be heard all the way to Tel Aviv.”

Five IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation staff were martyred in the attacks by the murderous Israeli forces in Gaza, while two others were seriously injured.
