The Disasters Emergency Committee in Scotland brings together 6 of 15 UK members charities to raise funds fast to respond effectively to major overseas humanitarian crises.
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. 👇

You’d be excused for forgetting, but it’s now 6 months since the huge #Myanmar earthquake.

Great support in Scotland - £2.4 million, £27m UK wide - has funded our member charities to help hundreds of thousands of people to survive and recover.

Thanks

The headlines move on quickly but the life saving work of
@decappeal charities in #Myanmar is scaling up fast with your support.

Strong aftershocks, extreme heat and floods are making their efforts to reach the most vulnerable even more challenging.

Thanks to @anassarwar.bsky.social and your @scottishlabour.bsky.social colleagues for supporting our work once again.
