The Disasters Emergency Committee
12 UK aid agencies have grouped together to appeal on a nationwide campaign.

Things are getting really desperate. Despite the constant campaigning there simply haven’t been enough donations coming in. The agencies already know what to do and how to help these people, but haven’t got the money to put their plans into action.

Over a Million adults and children are battling through 45°C+ temperatures and torrential rain to escape the conflict and reach the border safely. They arrive with nothing but the clothes and children on their backs, hoping they will find aid, only to be turned away when there isn’t enough to go around. Masses of children are already dying of diarrhoea due to hunger and sparse contaminated water.

This is really happening! Imagine it was you and your family running into the desert because your home and livestock are burning behind you. Please donate something, even if you can only afford $5 – it all adds up.

There are various ways to help from wherever you are in the world.
