DEC MIDDLE EAST HUMANITARIAN APPEAL

Fatima* strokes her mother's chin as she's held by her mother

Children are living through a nightmare in Gaza. And now – as conflict spreads to Lebanon – things are getting even worse for children.

A year of relentless bombing and near-total siege has left Gaza’s children terrified and gripped by hunger.

We’re coming together with the other big UK charities to launch the DEC Middle East Humanitarian Appeal.

Your donation will be used to support our work in Gaza and Lebanon, and other affected areas including the West Bank and Syria.

With your support, we’ll be there for many more children, for as long as they need us, so they can start to recover and see beyond tomorrow.

It's only human to feel powerless watching the horror unfold on our screens. But your support matters – it has never mattered more. Your compassion could make the difference between life and death for a child.

Thank you for not turning away. Thank you for standing with children.

No matter what the emergency, children always suffer the most.

The world is dangerous and frightening for children right now.

Conflict and natural disasters create food insecurity and threaten millions of children's survival and well-being every year - the need is greater now than ever.

Our response in Ukraine

As conflict unfolds, we're aiming to reach 3.5 million vulnerable children. We are distributing essentials, providing cash assistance and offering access to education and mental health support.

Your generosity means we can help Ukrainian children make it through the toughest times of their lives. 

But across the world, there are millions more children in desperate danger.

They too need our help to survive. That’s why we’re asking the UK public to donate to our Emergency Fund.

Your support can help us reach children in Ukraine, Afghanistan and Yemen whose lives have been turned upside down by war. And it can help protect children at extreme risk in East Africa.

The climate crisis

The link between the climate crisis and children's lives has never been clearer to see, or more difficult to witness. We have to act now.
Find out more

Almost half of children worldwide are at huge risk from the impacts of the climate crisis as extreme weather destroys crops, livestock and livelihoods.

Families are missing out on the food they need to stay healthy, struggling to pay for school or healthcare and many children  have to work to support their families. 

Without immediate action, the climate crisis will continue to rob children of their childhood and their futures, especially those living in the poorest places.

Change is possible and a better world for children can be built – but we have to act now.
