Each day, we are witnessing the growing humanitarian impact of the conflict unfolding in the Middle East.
Since the devastating and worsening escalation of the armed conflict and displacement in Israel, the Occupied Palestinian Territory in October 2023, and more recently in Lebanon, Australian Red Cross has supported the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in their critical humanitarian efforts in the region.
We remain committed to helping all people impacted by this conflict, taking no side other than the side of humanity. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is actively responding, providing essential humanitarian assistance on the frontlines.
You can give to the Australian Red Cross Middle East Crisis Appeal to extend further support for immediate, life-saving, and long-term relief to communities impacted by the ongoing conflicts.
Donate today to the Middle East Crisis Appeal to provide critical relief and support to people across the region.
Your donation will help us and Red Cross and Red Crescent partners address immediate and long-term needs from the crisis across the Middle East region, including:
- Providing emergency relief such as healthcare, water, sanitation, shelter, and protection services
- Deploying specialist humanitarian workers to support humanitarian operations
- Monitoring conditions for those who have been taken hostage, arrested, or detained to ensure humane treatment and dignity, where access is granted
- Restoring contact between family members separated by the crisis through our Restoring Family Links service and offering support to repatriated community members
- Promoting and monitoring the application of international humanitarian law (IHL), which requires all parties to armed conflict to protect civilians and hospitals
- Monitoring and evaluating the humanitarian response to ensure effective support reaches those in need.
Your support is needed more than ever. Thank you.
$60 can buy a tarpaulin, a hygiene kit and two blankets to help people who have been displaced maintain their health and dignity.
$100 can buy a food parcel that feeds 5 people for 1 month.
$250 can go towards purchasing medical supplies to provide critical healthcare to those fleeing the conflicts.
In the unlikely event that the funds raised exceed the amount required to meet the emergency needs of people in affected areas, or if there are circumstances beyond the control of Australian Red Cross, excess funds will be directed to our work in international crises.
