Azad Jammu and Kashmir is facing a deeply difficult moment. With shutter-down protests, disrupted movement, limited communication, internet blackouts and uncertainty across affected areas, many vulnerable families are struggling to access the basics they need to survive.
For families already living hand to mouth, even one day without work can mean no food on the table. For elderly patients, children and those with long-term health conditions, disruption can mean missed medication, untreated illness and growing fear.
Kashmir Welfare Foundation is responding on the ground through the Kashmir Lockdown Humanity Fund.
Your support helps us deliver urgent relief to those who need it most, including:
The situation on the ground continues to change from day to day. Some communities urgently require food assistance. Others need access to medication, medical treatment or emergency support. In many cases, families require a combination of all three.
For this reason, donations to the Kashmir Lockdown Humanity Fund have been structured in simple £20 Relief Units.
Each £20 donation represents one share in our overall humanitarian response. Rather than allocating funds to a specific category before they reach the field, this approach allows our teams to direct support wherever it is most urgently required at that moment.
One day, funding may be used to provide emergency medicines through our mobile medical camps. The next day, it may help deliver food packs or hot meals to families struggling as businesses remain closed and economic activity is disrupted.
This flexible approach ensures that aid reaches those with the greatest need and allows our teams to respond quickly as circumstances change across affected communities.
Your Relief Unit may help provide:
Most importantly, your donation gives our teams the flexibility to respond immediately to real needs on the ground rather than predetermined budgets.
Kashmir Welfare Foundation teams are currently active in Poonch, Muzaffarabad and Bagh, delivering humanitarian support to communities affected by the ongoing disruption.
As always, our commitment remains the same:
Our teams are active on the ground, reaching communities affected by the current lockdown and unrest. We do not ask people about politics before helping them. We do not ask which side they support. We simply ask what they need.
If a family is hungry, we feed them.
If a patient needs medicine, we help them.
If someone requires medical care, our teams do their best to treat them.
This is our principle.
Humanity first.
The current situation has left many communities under pressure. Shops are closed. Transport is limited. Work has stopped for many daily-wage earners. Internet and communication disruption has made it harder for families to contact loved ones, access information or request help.
In such moments, the poorest suffer first and suffer most.
A food pack can carry a family through days of uncertainty. A hot meal can bring relief to someone who has not eaten properly. Basic medication can prevent a manageable illness from becoming an emergency.
Your donation can make that difference.
Please donate today and help Kashmir Welfare Foundation continue delivering food, hot meals, medication and daily mobile medical support across affected areas. Every pound helps deliver care, dignity and hope to families facing hardship during the Kashmir lockdown.
May Allah reward you for standing with the people of Kashmir in their time of need.
The Kashmir Lockdown 2026 Humanity Fund is an emergency appeal launched by Kashmir Welfare Foundation to support families affected by the ongoing disruption across Azad Kashmir. Donations help fund food assistance, hot meals, essential medication, mobile medical camps and humanitarian relief for vulnerable communities facing hardship during this difficult period.
Donations are collected in £20 Relief Units and used wherever needs are greatest on the ground. This flexible approach allows our teams to respond quickly to changing circumstances, whether families require food packs, hot meals, medicines, medical treatment or other forms of emergency humanitarian assistance across Azad Kashmir.
A £20 Relief Unit contributes towards emergency humanitarian activities, including food support, hot meals, medication, mobile healthcare services and urgent relief for vulnerable families. Rather than funding a single item, each unit supports the overall emergency response, ensuring assistance reaches those with the greatest need at the time.
Our teams are currently active in Poonch, Muzaffarabad and Bagh, operating mobile medical camps and delivering humanitarian assistance. As conditions change, relief activities may expand to additional locations. Our goal is to reach vulnerable families, patients and communities affected by disruption throughout Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Our mobile medical camps provide free consultations, health assessments, basic treatment and essential medicines. They help patients who may struggle to access healthcare due to disruption, financial hardship or travel difficulties. Medical teams work directly within communities to ensure healthcare remains accessible during challenging circumstances.
Many families depend on daily income to meet their basic needs. When businesses close, transport is disrupted and economic activity slows, household finances are quickly affected. Food assistance helps ensure vulnerable families, widows, elderly residents and children continue to receive essential nutrition during periods of uncertainty.
Yes. Kashmir Welfare Foundation follows a Humanity First approach. Assistance is provided based on need, not politics, profession or affiliation. Our teams support civilians, vulnerable families, patients and anyone requiring humanitarian assistance. We believe every person deserves dignity, compassion and access to basic support during times of hardship. We have provided medical assistance to the Police, Rangers, and the general public so far in this crisis.
Yes. Many supporters choose to donate on behalf of family members, friends or loved ones. Your donation will contribute towards emergency relief activities helping vulnerable communities across Azad Kashmir. It can also be a meaningful Sadaqah donation supporting those facing hardship during a challenging period.
If you are a UK taxpayer, your donation may qualify for Gift Aid. This allows Kashmir Welfare Foundation to receive an additional 25% from HMRC at no extra cost to you. Gift Aid increases the impact of your donation and helps provide more food, medicine and humanitarian assistance.

Your support helps deliver practical assistance including food, medical care and emergency relief. By donating, you stand with vulnerable communities and help bring hope, dignity and support when it is needed most.
