Middle East Humanitarian Appeal

DEC charities have been providing lifesaving aid in Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank over the past year, but they now urgently need more funds.
In Gaza, people are dying of hunger and disease, as well as injuries caused by the conflict. Food and clean water are desperately scarce. Ninety percent of the population are displaced, and more than 42,000 people have been killed.
In Lebanon, more than a 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 charities are ready to do more, and respond across the region, wherever the needs are greatest. But they urgently need more funds.
