IRC UK will become the 15th member of the DEC, which brings together leading UK aid charities to raise funds and respond to humanitarian crises overseas.

Since July 2020, donations to the DEC’s Coronavirus Appeal have helped protect some of Syria’s most vulnerable communities from coronavirus by providing clean water, hygiene kits and supporting healthcare but poor facilities in camps and the growing hunger crisis are still putting lives at risk as the virus continues to circulate.

Find out how donations to the appeal helped people recover from the disaster.

Coronavirus cases have spiked in Yemen in the last month as displaced communities struggle to cope with the impact of the pandemic, ongoing conflict and a hunger crisis that is putting millions at risk. Only 1% of the population is vaccinated against Covid-19, access to healthcare is poor and families cannot afford to buy food. Donations to the DEC Coronavirus Appeal are providing the most vulnerable people with lifesaving aid.

We help people whose lives and livelihoods have been shattered by conflict and disaster, including the climate crisis, to survive, recover, and rebuild.
