Thank you so much for your donation to the Middle East Humanitarian Crisis Appeal.
If you provided your email address, your donation receipt is on its way to your inbox now.
Your generosity helps ensure the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement can continue delivering desperately needed humanitarian aid to those affected by the conflict in Gaza and the wider Middle East.
THANK YOU!
Families are struggling to access basic necessities such as food, clean water, medicine, and safe shelter. Hospitals are overwhelmed, and critical infrastructure lies in ruins after two years of escalating conflict in Gaza.
Countless lives have been lost since October 2023, including 30 Red Cross and Red Crescent staff and volunteers.
The humanitarian impact of this conflict is severe and will tragically have long-term consequences for those affected across Gaza and the wider Middle East. Your support helps to ensure aid can reach people in desperate need now and on their long journey to recovery.
A recently reached ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas must mark a turning point in two years of unimaginable pain. It offers a vital chance to save lives and ease suffering. Because we are neutral, impartial and independent, with your help, we can continue to reach people who need us, even when others cannot, providing humanitarian assistance, protecting lives, upholding human rights, and relieving the suffering of people whose lives have been torn apart by armed conflict and violence.
Your donation makes a difference
With your support, Red Cross and Red Crescent teams, including International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) teams can:
- Provide emergency medical care to the ill or injured.
- Supply clean water, food, and shelter to displaced families.
- Support the last functioning hospitals and health facilities.
- Protect the safety and well-being of aid workers.
In southern Gaza, the Red Cross Field Hospital is already operating at more than double its intended capacity, treating thousands of injured civilians.
Your donation helps sustain this vital humanitarian effort, ensuring life-saving aid continues to reach those who need it most.
How your support will be delivered
Funds donated to this appeal will assist people affected by the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and across the wider Middle East. Donations will be directed primarily to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), who are delivering life-saving assistance and support on the ground.
Together, we can help ensure people affected by conflict receive the care, protection, and dignity they deserve.
