DEC Middle East Humanitarian Appeal
Conflict in the Middle East is devastating lives.
Millions across the region have fled their homes in search of safety. They urgently need shelter, clean water and medical aid.
In Gaza, people are dying of hunger and disease, as well as injuries caused by the conflict. Food and clean water are desperately scarce. Ninety percent of the population are displaced, more than 46,000 people have been killed and over 11,000 are missing.
In Lebanon, more than a million people fled their homes after violence escalated in September. With a ceasefire already in place there, they can start to try and rebuild their communities, lives and livelihoods. Many have lost everything.
It is critical that, together with other DEC member charities, we scale up our emergency response to support those in urgent need of help.
Concern is working with our international NGO partner, CESVI to deliver life-saving aid in Gaza. CESVI have reached almost 180,000 people through water trucking and have rehabilitated waste facilities reaching over 36,000 people. They are also working to supply therapeutic food for malnourished children.
