As a founding member, Christian Aid brings decades of experience and local knowledge to the Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC) responses. Their role is to ensure that funding is used effectively to provide:
▪ Immediate relief including food, water and medical supplies.
▪ Emergency shelter for displaced families.
▪ Long-term recovery helping communities rebuild their lives.
When the DEC launched the Middle East Humanitarian Appeal, Christian Aid were on the ground working with trusted partners to deliver essential aid. Now that a ceasefire is in place, DEC charities are supporting those returning to their homes and those who have nowhere to go. But they urgently need more funds.
This Saturday 15th February our local Christian Aid group are planning a Refreshment Day in Church to raise money for the people of Gaza and Lebanon.
