Urgent Responses
On October 24, 2025, the city of El Fasher in North Darfur, Sudan, was invaded and seized. Accounts of horrific violence have since emerged, with reports describing devastating scenes of entire neighborhoods destroyed, hospitals looted, and the mass killing of civilians. For nearly 18 months, the crisis in El Fasher has been worsening. Ongoing conflict has led to the closure of roads and markets — blocking food, fuel and medical supplies for over 250,000 residents, half of them children. Families have been facing starvation, untreated disease and daily terror.
As the largest humanitarian actor in the Darfur region since 2003, World Relief has been alongside these communities throughout every phase of this crisis. Right now, we are providing lifesaving food assistance, health care, clean water and protection across the region. We are also rapidly mobilizing to support newly emerging needs, including psychosocial support to those traumatized by recent events, protection for victims of sexual violence and children separated from family.
Amid the destruction and displacement, we can extend support into North Darfur, where the needs grow by the hour. Will you come alongside those suffering today?
Countries Impacted by Hurricane Melissa
Hurricane Melissa, both historic and catastrophic in strength, claimed over 60 lives across the Caribbean as it battered Jamaica, Haiti and surrounding countries. It also destroyed crops, killed livestock and tore off roofs. As Pascal Bimenyimana, country director of World Relief Haiti, told the BBC, people were clearing debris with their bare hands.
A Chrisrian humanitarian organization that has engaged with the church in the world’s greatest crises since World War II, World Relief is standing with communities impacted by this devastating hurricane. In Jamaica, we’re working to engage with trusted local organizations to deliver critical aid. In Haiti, where we’ve been present since 1988, we are rushing aid to 300 households, providing emergency kits, cash assistance to help families recover and psychosocial support to enable them to begin healing from trauma.

Step up. Step in.
Israel, Gaza and Middle East
On October 7, 2023, the world was shaken by news of the deadly attack on Israel by Palestinian armed groups in Gaza. For over two years, the crisis deepened. More than 67,000 Palestinians were killed in Gaza and thousands were injured. Famine was officially declared in Gaza City and the surrounding territory, with nearly half a million people facing starvation, acute malnutrition and even death. Humanitarian aid was often blocked from reaching those most in need.
Together with you and alongside partners, we have responded with compassion and urgency across Gaza, the West Bank, Egypt and Lebanon since 2023. We’ve reached more than 199,000 individuals with life-saving support.
As the Gaza peace plan unfolds, aid corridors are re-opening and we continue to respond. Through trusted local partners and church networks, we’ll be supporting families with emergency food, psychosocial support, childhood education and more. Building on our ongoing response in the region, we’re eager to reach those previously cut-off from life-saving resources.
The needs are staggering and urgent. Will you respond today?
A 6.0 magnitude earthquake hit eastern Afghanistan on August 31, crumbling entire villages. The quake has claimed over 1400 lives and injured more than 3,100 — with numbers expected to rise as rescuers struggle to reach villages.
Just three years since the last deadly earthquake, many Afghan communities are still rebuilding. Poor infrastructure, remote access and worsening floods leave the region dangerously vulnerable — and the weekend’s quake has only compounded the crisis. Worse still, flash floods are impeding rescue efforts.
World Relief is urgently working to mobilize partners to assess the damage and launch a swift response to deliver life-saving aid. Will you help families impacted by this devastating earthquake?
United States
Across the U.S., refugees and other immigrant families are facing fear and uncertainty. Many have fled war, persecution and violence, only to arrive and encounter new barriers to stability. The federal refugee resettlement program has been reduced to a historic low, SNAP benefits were cut through the passing of the Big Beautiful Bill and ICE enforcement actions are escalating in major cities.
SNAP benefits are not being restored for refugees and certain other lawfully present immigrants, who are newly ineligible because of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” passed in July. World Relief is stepping in to fill the gap. Together with churches and volunteers, we’re helping families who have lost access to food assistance and now face food insecurity, lost stable work or are navigating a complex legal system without guidance. Local World Relief offices are mobilizing food drives, engaging churches to provide emergency food funds and more. Our teams also provide employment support, legal services and connection to caring communities that help families find safety and belonging.
Will you give today to help immigrant and refugee families find hope and stability?
Ukraine
War & Invasion • February 2022 - Present
In 2024, an estimated 14.6 million people will be in need of humanitarian aid due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Since the earliest days of this crisis, generous people like you have responded by welcoming Ukrainians in the United States and providing emergency assistance in Eastern Europe. Now, as the war continues into its third year, so does our calling to respond.
We have now established a permanent presence in Ukraine, leveraging our decades of experience working in current- and post-conflict environments to build adaptable, church-led initiatives that will enable us to meet needs as they arise. What’s more, our U.S. offices continue to come alongside Ukrainians who are arriving in the United States, connecting them with vital services and welcoming communities they need to recover to adjust to life in the U.S.
When you give today, you help us meet urgent needs and build lasting solutions in places like Ukraine.
