Othman Moqbel

He is currently CEO of Action For Humanity, the parent charity of Syria Relief,[1] the largest Syria-focused NGO in the UK.

[6] Moqbel earned his BA and MA in Islamic Studies from the University of Jordan (Amman) and holds a diploma in Muslim Chaplaincy from the Markfield Institute of Higher Education (Leicester).

During his time there the charity increased its reach both internally, having established new programmes in the UK, and externally, having worked in 25 countries worldwide.

Moqbel emphasises that no matter what background, faith, religion, ethnicity – everybody must stand united against anyone who wants to divide people.

[13] In 2013 the Jewish Chronicle 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.
