Human Appeal
Othman Moqbel is the CEO of the long-standing UK based NGO, Human Appeal. Since joining the organisation in 2010, Othman has increased the charity’s reach both internally, establishing new programmes in the UK, and externally, working in 25 countries worldwide. Projects now span across 24 countries worldwide and have seen a drastic increase in beneficiaries as well as long term sustainable development programmes. Most recently, Othman Moqbel and Human Appeal launched an appeal for the victims of the Manchester attack. Moqbel emphasises that no matter what background, faith, religion, ethnicity – everybody must stand united against anyone who wants to divide people.
In 2013 Human Appeal were awarded the International Charity Award at the Global Peace & Unity Festival, followed by being named “Charity of the Year” at the 2017 British Muslim Awards for their outstanding achievements and contribution to British society.
Allegations and libel damages
In 2013 the Jewish Chronicle, the largest Jewish newspaper in the United Kingdom, paid an undisclosed amount of libel damages to Othman Moqbel and two trustees of Human Appeal after accusing the organization of having ties to terrorism.
Human Appeal “categorically” denies any link to Hamas and the Charity Commission confirmed that Human Appeal was not “under any investigation”.
