DEC Middle East Humanitarian Appeal

Single donation
£25 could provide hot meals for a family of four who have fled their home.

Every pound you donate will go towards supporting Concern’s work in Gaza, Lebanon, the region, and wherever the need is greatest.

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, and more than 42,000 people have been killed.  

In Lebanon, more than a million people have had to leave their homes in recent weeks. Shelters are overwhelmed, and hospitals are struggling to treat the thousands of people injured. 

It is critical that, together with other DEC member charities, we scale up our emergency response to support those in urgent need of help.

How we're responding in Lebanon and Gaza

Along with our partners, we are now supporting people fleeing from escalating violence. In Gaza, we are working with our partners to providing life-saving aid including providing vital food, water and essential sanitation. We've been working in Lebanon since 2013, responding to the needs of Syrian and Palestinian people displaced from their countries while also supporting vulnerable families in Lebanon.

Concern Worldwide and other DEC member charities are responding right now across the region, providing lifesaving food, water, shelter, medicine and so much more.  

We are ready to act wherever the needs are greatest, and as the humanitarian crisis evolves. 

We urgently need more funds to meet the huge levels of need. Save lives. Donate now.
