The DEC is part of a global alliance of humanitarian coalitions which is called the Emergency Appeals Alliance (EAA).

Want to save lives and help communities recover from disaster? Fundraise for us on social media or by running an event.

The DEC secretariat is a small UK-based team, but we occasionally have job or volunteer vacancies.

Conflict in the Middle East has devastated lives. The ceasefires provide some hope and relief, but millions in Gaza, Lebanon and the wider region urgently need shelter, food and basic supplies. Save lives. Donate now.
