Middle East Emergency Appeal

Emergency humanitarian assistance desperately needed as war escalates in the Middle East

Please give urgently to help provide vital humanitarian assistance to people who are at grave risk of injury, death and displacement.

As the conflict in the Middle East intensifies, millions of families are caught in the crossfire and urgently need vital humanitarian assistance.

Please give today!

The humanitarian needs in the Middle East are unimaginable. Global action is needed now so innocent civilians can access critical care, including food and medical supplies.

Ongoing conflicts across the Middle East have resulted in hundreds of thousands of people forced to flee their homes in search of a safe place to belong.

Fighting continues to escalate in Iran and neighbouring countries. Meanwhile, the death toll is rising and displacement is soaring.

In Lebanon alone the number of people forced to flee their homes has surged to nearly one million people.*

We need to act now.

By giving today, you’re helping to equip trusted local organisations across the Middle East to provide life-saving emergency assistance for people who have been forced to flee their homes.

Funds are deployed through the ACT Alliance network of local partners, enabling rapid emergency assistance where it is needed most.

What Our Team Say

“As violence escalates in the Middle East, we are deeply concerned for the safety and well-being of millions of innocent families who are at grave risk of injury, death and displacement,” says Act for Peace CEO, Andrew Hassett.

“Every gift through the emergency appeal will go directly to our trusted local partners working with the ACT Alliance to provide critical emergency support including healthcare, medical supplies, food and shelter.” 

Act for Peace urgently calls on all parties to immediately de-escalate the conflict, protect civilians and ensure safe and unhindered access to humanitarian aid.

Help provide vital humanitarian emergency assistance

Please give urgently to help provide vital humanitarian assistance to people caught in the conflict.
