Gaza
current
A ceasefire came into effect in Gaza on 19th January 2025. A surge of supplies has entered Gaza since the beginning of the ceasefire, enabling an increase in the humanitarian response to critical needs. Debris management, retrieval of bodies and addressing explosive ordnance contamination across Gaza are some of the immediate priorities, together with the further scaling up of humanitarian aid and reinstatement of essential services.

Lebanon
past
Our vital work in the south of Lebanon ended in February 2024, but read about what we achieved

India
past
IDEALS financially supported the first Primary Trauma Care course in Delhi at the Apollo Hospital in September 2005. This was the first of such courses that had taken place with a Pakistani teaching faculty, Indian doctors and IDEALS Chairman, John Beavis. It confirmed that warm friendship can exist between the two countries when political differences are forgotten and was entirely within the founding ethos of the charity.

Pakistan
past

After initially providing emergency relief (in the form of shelter, food and essential non-food items) IDEALS then purchased a piece of land on which to build new homes.

West Bank
past

Sri lanka
past
In the past year the world has become accustomed to disasters of one sort or another. Quite obviously the worst ones are those produced by nature but in the last year we have witnessed man made tragedies that were unfortunately very close to home.

Bosnia
past
Not long after the beginning of their terrible civil war Bosnians became aware of, and thoroughly fed up with, fleeting visitors to their country who arrived armed with promises of help and equipped with cameras to record their visit. Unfortunately too many were like Macbeth’s “poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more”
