Conflict in the Middle East has devastated lives across the region, and millions have fled their homes in search of safety. 

The whole of Gaza is at risk of famine, and people are facing extreme levels of food insecurity. The devastating humanitarian crisis is deteriorating every day. 

DEC member charities are responding right now in Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank, providing lifesaving food, water, shelter, medicine and so much more.  

They are doing everything they can to reach people with lifesaving support. Safe and sustained access for humanitarian aid has never been more urgent.
