Human Relief Foundation (HRF) is a charity established in the United Kingdom in response to the Gulf War in 1991.

Following the 2003 Iraq war, HRF provided training courses for doctors and sent a considerable number of medical staff from the UK to help train the Iraqi doctors.[2][3][4][5][6]

HRF responds to emergency situations by providing aid in different parts of the world. HRF was one of the charities in the UK which participated in raising up to £500,000 in response to the earthquake in Sri Lanka in 2004.[7]

HRF works to improve the living standards of people who are in need through a number of development programmes, with the director of HRF Nabeel Ramadhani stating that HRF has helped Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan.[3][8]
