Donate to help us reach older people in the Middle East
Following the escalation of conflict across the Middle East, the region has been thrown into a new wave of instability and humanitarian crisis. Millions of people have been forced from their homes.
Older people caught up in the crisis are facing hunger, dehydration and death, yet their needs are often overlooked. The situation for them and their families is dire. The psychological toll is immense, with people facing repeated trauma from displacement, the loss of loved ones, and the destruction of their communities.
Our local partners are continuing to deliver life-saving assistance in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, despite the increasingly difficult circumstances. Please support our work.
How your donation could help
We are working with local partner organisations in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon to scale up our response, providing older people and their families with vital support.
Your donation could help provide:
- Food that’s suitable for older people's nutritional needs, as well as clean water
- Tailored medical assistance and medicine for chronic conditions like diabetes
- Assistive products such as walking sticks and hearing aids
Please donate today, even a small donation could make a huge difference.
