Smoke rises over buildings following intense Israeli airstrikes targeting the Burj al-Barajneh area in southern Beirut, Lebanon, on March 02, 2026.

Women, men and children are being killed and losing their homes as violence intensifies across the Middle East.

Despite increasingly difficult circumstances, ActionAid's local partners are continuing to deliver life-saving assistance in countries where we work across the region.

We urgently need your help to support our local partners to scale up their responses and reach the hardest-hit communities.

Please fundraise now to help our partners reach families who urgently need support.

Where your money goes

90% of your donation will go directly to ActionAid's Middle East Appeal.

10% of your donation will be retained for ActionAid’s Emergency Action Fund which will only be used for ensuring we are prepared and able to respond quickly and more effectively to future emergencies and crises.

If the total amount raised for this appeal exceeds the funds needed for the response, ActionAid will transfer the remaining balance to the Emergency Action Fund. All Gift Aid claimed on donations will fund ActionAid’s work across the world, wherever the need is greatest.
