DEC in Scotland

Disasters Emergency Committee brings together 15 leading Scottish / UK aid charities, raising funds to quickly and effectively respond to overseas disasters.

More than 1M people have been displaced in #Lebanon since the escalation in March. Families are living in shelters, cars and tents, urgently needing food, water, and essentials.

Donations to the DEC Appeal are helping those in urgent need. https://t.co/eAK13ssxXy

Over the past year, DEC members have helped the most vulnerable people in #Myanmar to recover after the shattering #earthquake

Another great response here in Scotland - £2.4 million raised, £28m UK wide - has supported more than 500,000 people to rebuild their lives.

Thank you

[DEC in Scotland @DECScotland]

Your donations continue to provide a lifeline for the most vulnerable people in #Gaza

DEC member @Concern and its local partner @FondazioneCESVI have now repaired a school water supply.

The relief and joy is clear to see. Thank you.

Today marks four years since the conflict in #Ukraine escalated.

The DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal was one of our largest ever appeals, raising over £446 million from the UK public to support people affected by the crisis.
Thanks to this generosity, DEC charities and their local partners have reached over ten million people with support. This includes:

➡️ Providing emergency food, clean water and shelter to families in need
➡️ Supporting access to healthcare, cash assistance and mental health support
➡️ Delivering aid both in Ukraine and to those who fled to neighbouring countries

Our appeal has now closed but a number of DEC charities and their local partners continue to respond, adapting their work to meet the ongoing needs of communities affected by the disaster.

Severe storm #Byron is heading for #Gaza

Floods have already made life even more difficult for hundreds of thousands of people in the territory without safe shelter, food, water and medical care.

If you can please support our Appeal.

Thanks so much for your support once again Stuart, getting attention for the crisis amidst all the global challenges right now is vital as is explaining why we are asking for help right now.

Floods are making already desperate conditions worse for the most vulnerable families in #Gaza

This #GivingTuesday we thank the @FCDOGovUK for boosting #AidMatch by £3 million for our Middle East Humanitarian Appeal.

Please watch and donate now, your support will be doubled.

[DEC in Scotland @DECScotland]

The life saving work of our member charities in #Gaza and #Myanmar depends, of course, on individual donations across Scotland but also business partners like @NatWestGroup @brewgoodr who encourage customers and staff to donate. We're hugely grateful.

Hadi is scared about what another winter in Gaza will mean for his family.

Many families like Hadi's need urgent assistance. The levels of need in Gaza are catastrophic.

Your donation can be a lifeline.

Please donate today. https://t.co/SMt4pXtaqP

“The ceasefire is not the end, it is a beginning.”

Aid trucks have just started to move into #Gaza

https://t.co/qrKyvzbFOp

[DEC in Scotland @DECScotland]

This is the beginning of a long, difficult road to recovery for the people of #Gaza

If you can, please donate now. Thank you. https://t.co/6cPPWTDzLE

Dr Unni Krishnan, Global Humanitarian Director at DEC charity Plan International, is working with local teams in Egypt to prepare food packs that will make their way to families in Gaza. Each truck will provide five days' worth of food for around 6,000 people. But, as Dr Unni Krishnan points out, this is only a fraction of what is needed.

The ceasefire agreement in Gaza provides desperately-needed hope and relief for so many people whose lives have been devastated by conflict.

DEC charities and their local partners are now preparing to scale up their work again, after months of extraordinary challenges delivering aid. The levels of need are catastrophic.

The DEC is now renewing its appeal for donations to help meet the overwhelming needs in Gaza following the ceasefire agreement. As people in Gaza look towards an uncertain future, your support can be a lifeline.

Please donate now. https://t.co/Vi656KPzHQ

Thanks again Stuart for your support at this crucial time.

[stuart murdoch @nee_massey]

Let’s get into Gaza, let’s help the people, let’s get the hostages home, let the aid agencies get to work, and pray that the peace may hold, and pray that wise heads can reach a Middle East solution.

DEC charities are ready to go. Open the gates!

The #Gaza ceasefire agreement brings hope to so many people whose lives have been shattered by the conflict.

Our member charities and their local partners are ready to resume operations at scale - so, if you can, please support this vital effort now. 👇
