The DEC is part of a global alliance of humanitarian coalitions which is called the Emergency Appeals Alliance (EAA).

Conflict in the Middle East is devastating lives. Millions across the region have fled their homes in search of safety, and urgently need shelter, food and basic supplies. Save lives. Donate now.

We are closely monitoring a number of humanitarian disasters and assessing them against our criteria for launching an appeal. Often our member charities are responding to these crises already and we encourage people who wish to help to donate to them.

DEC Chief Executive Saleh Saeed was delighted to welcome His Royal Highness Prince William onto a call with Syrian aid workers.
