Gaza and Lebanon are facing a humanitarian catastrophe. Millions of people are in urgent need of food, shelter and medical care. Please donate now and help save lives.

The conflict in the Middle East is devastating families. Millions across the region have fled their homes in search of safety. They urgently need shelter, food and basic supplies.

In Gaza, people are dying of hunger and disease, as well as injuries caused by the conflict. Food and clean water are desperately scarce. 90% of the population have been displaced and more than 42,000 people have been killed.

In Lebanon, more than 1 million people have had to leave their homes in recent weeks. Shelters are overwhelmed, and hospitals are struggling to treat the thousands of people injured.

DEC member charities – including Action Against Hunger – are responding right now in Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank. We’re providing life-saving food, water, shelter, medicine and so much more.

But we urgently need more funds to meet the huge levels of need. Will you donate today and save lives? 

Yes, I’ll make an emergency gift now
