Over the past year, conflict in the Middle East has devastated lives across the region, and millions have fled their homes in search of safety.

As a core member of the DEC’s Rapid Response Network, The Co-operative Bank are supporting the appeal by helping to raise vital funds. The Co-operative Bank will donate an initial £20k to the appeal.

Huge numbers of people across Gaza, Lebanon and the wider region are right now in urgent need of food, shelter and medical care.

DEC charities are on the ground saving lives right now, and they are ready to act wherever the needs are greatest. For more information on how and where DEC member charities are responding, please visit dec.org.uk.

The first £10 million donated to the appeal by the public will be matched by the UK Government.

If you can, please donate now.
