The DEC launched an appeal after a huge earthquake shook Nepal in 2015. This appeal is now closed and all funds have been spent.

Women and girls always suffer disproportionately after a natural disaster and Cyclone Idai, which hit Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe, is no exception.

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) today announced that donations to the Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal have reached an incredible £151.8 million, six months on from the devastating earthquakes that killed at least 58,000 people across southern Turkey (now known as Türkiye) and northwest Syria.

The total includes £5 million matched by the UK Government through the Aid Match scheme.
