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.

Actors Bilal Hasna and Maisie Richardson-Sellers and content creator Shabaz Ali have lent their support to the appeal, and applauded the incredible dedication of local aid workers in Gaza.

The DEC secretariat is a small UK-based team, but we occasionally have job or volunteer vacancies.
