(PLANO, TX) Severe storms across the Midwest have caused the worst flooding in over 15 years, forcing tens of thousands of people from their homes. The floods have already ruined an estimated 5 million acres of farmland for corn and soybean, increasing fears of food inflation for U.S. consumers and dozens of countries relying on American exports. Over an additional 200,000 acres of crop land from Iowa to Missouri are still at high risk of being flooded.

Iowa, which helps produce over one-third of U.S. corn and soybeans, was the worst-affected region, incurring over $1 billion in property damages. Twenty-four people have died, 140 people have been injured and another 40,000 people have been evacuated from flooded areas of Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota and are in urgent need of assistance.

Islamic Relief is launching an emergency appeal to assist in the recovery efforts. Your help is urgently needed to aid the victims of this disaster. Please Donate Generously. Islamic Relief USA. 2600 K Ave, Plano TX 75074
