Press enquires and latest updates on the Disasters Emergency Committee and our appeals.

Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal closure

The Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal closed for donations at the end of 2024, having supported an estimated 8.2 million people* in the first two years of response, but DEC-funded programmes will continue until the end of August 2025, thanks to the incredible amount raised.

Disasters Emergency Committee

Conflict continues to devastate lives. Donations continue to support people across Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank and Syria. The humanitarian needs remain huge. Please donate now.

Duty of Care

DEC appeal responses are delivered through staff working in some of the most challenging humanitarian contexts in the world. Many face extremely difficult living conditions and often personal risks as they deliver lifesaving aid to communities in need.
