Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) is an international humanitarian organisation that provides development programs and humanitarian relief around the globe, regardless of race, political affiliation, gender or belief.
Founded in 1984 in the United Kingdom, it states that it delivers its projects in over 30 countries. It also owns a subsidiary company, TIC International, based in Birmingham, UK. It collects and recycles clothes to raise funds for IRW's work and provides canned meat for aid purposes.
IRW is banned from the United Arab Emirates and Israel due to alleged financing of terrorist organizations, an accusation that the organization denies. The organization continues to operate in the militarily occupied Palestinian territories despite the Israeli ban.
