DEC Middle East Humanitarian Appeal
DEC charities are providing lifesaving aid in Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank and Syria, but urgently need more funds.
The whole of Gaza is at risk of famine, and people are facing extreme levels of food insecurity. The devastating humanitarian crisis is deteriorating every day. Aid supplies are running dangerously low.
In Lebanon, the ceasefire agreement at the end of last year meant some of the people displaced by conflict could return to their communities and start to rebuild their lives. Months on, many still have no home to return to and are cut off from basic services.
DEC charities and their local partners are working tirelessly to support people in unimaginably difficult conditions. Each day brings new and unexpected challenges, and they are constantly adapting their work to deliver whatever aid they can.
But they urgently need more funds to meet the huge levels of need. Start fundraising today.
DEC Myanmar Earthquake Appeal
A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake has devastated huge areas of Myanmar. People urgently need help to survive.
Families have been living outside in makeshift shelters since the earthquake, and are now exposed to the monsoon rains and a growing risk of disease.
The scale of the destruction is vast. Countless homes, schools, businesses and areas of farmland have been destroyed.
Myanmar was already facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with a third of the population in need of humanitarian aid. Now the situation is catastrophic.
Donations to the Myanmar Earthquake Appeal are providing vital support as people begin to look towards the future in these devastating circumstances. DEC charities urgently need more funds to continue reaching some of the most vulnerable.
