A Tyneside business is working with the charity Christian Aid to help thousands of Iraqi civilians.
AquAid North, based at the Premier Business Development Centre in Scotswood, Newcastle, is helping to send supplies out to Iraq.
After weeks of war and the collapse of law and order many people are without adequate water supplies, food and medical care.
AquAid is donating 40p from every 19-litre bottle of water sold to Christian Aid to fund overseas development work and to help Christian Aid respond to emergencies.
With AquAid's financial assistance Christian Aid is funding a mobile water treatment unit being operated by Norwegian Church Aid, which provides water to 150,000 people a day.
