Following the announcement of the ceasefire, the DEC and its member charities are monitoring the potential impact on the delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza.

DEC members and their local partners are already providing lifesaving aid in Gaza. But the needs remain huge. With the anticipated increased aid access our members could do more to reach people with food, shelter and medical support.

Conflict in the Middle East has devastated lives across the region, and millions have fled their homes in search of safety. The humanitarian needs are incredibly high.

Seven DEC charities are working either directly or through local partners to help people affected by the flooding, including search and rescue operations, providing food and clean water and by receiving evacuees in Mykolaiv, Odesa and other cities.
