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.

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.

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

We really appreciate your support and generosity in helping us raise funds to help people in times of crisis.
