Middle East Emergency Appeal
Help provide vital humanitarian emergency assistance for innocent people in the Middle East
Please give urgently to our Middle East Appeal to help provide vital humanitarian emergency assistance for innocent people affected by conflict in the region.
The ceasefire in Gaza has collapsed with Israeli airstrikes killing at least 400 Palestinians overnight (on March 18, 2025). 174 children are believed to be among the dead and hospitals are overwhelmed with the wounded.
The humanitarian needs are unimaginable and we call for an immediate reinstatement of the ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian access so innocent civilians can access critical care, including food and medical supplies.
Outside of Gaza, conflicts across the Middle East have resulted in hundreds of thousands of people forced to flee their homes who are searching for a safe place to belong.
Middle East Displacement Crisis
Families in Gaza have faced repeated waves of displacement, the ceasefire in Lebanon is tenuous as violations continue, and the future for millions of displaced Syrians remains uncertain.
We need to act now.
By giving to the appeal, you’re helping to equip local organisations in the Middle East to provide life-saving emergency assistance for people who have been forced to flee their homes such as food and health care.
Funds are deployed through the Act Alliance network of local organisations in region to provide emergency assistance.
What Our Team Say
“It’s really an unbearable situation people are going through. Our goal is to help reduce the pain of the people by offering whatever services we can, mainly medical services, psychosocial support and mental health services, as well as some cash, food distribution and hygiene kits,” says Department of Service to Palestinian Refugee’s (DSPR) Executive Director, Nader Abu Amsha.
“We have no choice. We should keep hope alive. Otherwise, we die,” says Nader.
“Our partners in the Middle East have shared the horrific atrocities which civilians and staff are facing on a daily basis,” says Act for Peace Head of Partnerships and Programs, Geoff Robinson.
“The emergency needs for healthcare, medicines and food are great, but every gift through the emergency appeal will go directly to local organisations working with the ACT Alliance to provide critical emergency support for those displaced by conflict.”
Act for peace today by giving to our Emergency Appeal to help local organisations in the Middle East to respond to this humanitarian crisis.
In caring for humankind together, we’re acting for peace in the world.
