Middle East Emergency Appeal

A Region in Crisis

In just a matter of weeks, more than three million people have been displaced across the region. Entire communities have been uprooted, with families seeking safety wherever they can, crowding into schools, mosques, and makeshift shelters.

Across Yemen, Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria, essential infrastructure is collapsing. Power outages have shut down water systems, leaving millions without safe drinking water. Hospitals are overwhelmed and running out of fuel, medicine, and supplies, while outbreaks of disease are beginning to spread in overcrowded camps.

With key trade routes disrupted and access severely restricted, food and other necessities are becoming increasingly scarce. For many families, each day is a struggle to survive.

Our Emergency Response

At the Syria–Lebanon border, newly displaced families arriving after long and exhausting journeys are being met with immediate assistance, including ready-to-eat meals, bread and clean drinking water. In Lebanon, support is reaching families sheltering in overcrowded schools and public spaces, with mattresses, blankets and hot meals helping to restore a sense of dignity and relief.

In Gaza, families have lost almost everything. Our teams are providing hot meals, food parcels, clean water and medical support, so parents can put food in front of their children and get through another day. Every delivery is a lifeline for families who've been displaced again and again.

In Yemen, renewed fighting is forcing families from their homes once more. Many are now living in makeshift camps with little food or water. We're supporting displaced families in conflict zones, reaching people in a country that has already endured years of war and is running out of help.

These rapid responses are helping families at their most vulnerable moments. But the needs are growing faster than resources.
