Actors Christopher Chung and Indira Varma call for more donations, as aftershocks strike regions devastated by Myanmar earthquake

Despite the many challenges delivering aid within this context, DEC charities are working with their local partners to support the most vulnerable, with many already having had a presence in the country before the earthquake.

The DEC, including its member charities, uphold the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence.

These principles govern the humanitarian response and coordination work funded by DEC appeals.
