Urgent Responses
The Middle East
Escalating Crisis
After years of tension and conflict, the crisis in the Middle East has only escalated in recent months. Since early 2026, armed conflict and government upheaval has forced thousands across the Middle East to flee their homes. In Lebanon alone, more than 800,000 were forcibly displaced within one week after conflict reached new levels in early March. That number is rising every day.
Together with compassionate supporters like you, we have been providing lifesaving support in the Middle East since 2023, reaching more than 199,000 people. And we're expanding our response to meet the latest escalated needs within the region. Right now, we are working with trusted, on-the-ground partners in Lebanon to assess urgent needs and deliver lifesaving aid to those currently facing great risk of harm.
The needs are staggering and urgent. Your gifts will bring relief and help restore stability for hundreds of families in crisis.

United States
Public Policy
In January 2026, federal immigration agents detained dozens of lawfully present refugees in Minnesota, including children. The agents, some dressed in plain clothes, lured refugees out of their homes where they were transported to holding facilities and then, in many cases, out of the state.
Although a temporary restraining order has been issued in Minnesota, these detentions mark a dramatic escalation in an ongoing process to tear apart families who were invited to rebuild their lives in safety. Even now, refugees are continuing to be asked to appear for re-vetting interviews, subjecting our newest neighbors to unnecessary and re-traumatizing scrutiny, leading many to fear that they will be returned to life-threatening situations.
We must act now to help these families stay, and to stay together.
World Relief is mobilizing immediately to protect the 4,400 refugee families under our care and preserve stability. Together, we can respond now and prepare for what lies ahead by providing urgent Immigration Legal Services to protect due process and family unity, emergency rental assistance, food support, flexible cash assistance, and psychological care.
Help refugees stay together: with their families, their communities, in safety and without fear.
Hurricane Melissa
Natural Disaster
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.
Will you join us in providing relief?

Ongoing Responses
Sudan
War
Since civil war broke out in Sudan in 2023, more than 13 million people have been forcibly displaced from their homes. The numbers of those displaced internally and seeking refuge in other countries continues to increase, stressing already fragile communities in Chad, South Sudan and other neighboring countries. What’s more, the populations of Sudan, South Sudan, and its border regions are experiencing the highest levels of food insecurity ever recorded by the international community. In Sudan, over 21 million people are acutely food insecure, which includes approximately 3 million children suffering from malnutrition.
With our longstanding presence in Sudan since 2003, World Relief has been alongside these communities throughout every phase of this crisis. Right now, we are providing lifesaving food assistance, nutrition, health care, clean water and protection across the region, while also offering psychosocial support to those traumatized by recent events and protection for victims of sexual violence and children separated from family. And whenever new, complex issues arise, we are equipped to rapidly mobilize to support newly emerging needs.
Amid the destruction and displacement, we can extend support into Sudan, where the needs grow by the hour. Will you come alongside those suffering today?
Ukraine
War
More than three years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the war continues, upending lives, displacing millions and stretching local churches and communities to their limits. While global headlines shift elsewhere, the suffering in Ukraine remains a daily reality. Yet in the midst of unimaginable hardship, Ukrainians press on with resilience, drawing strength from their faith and the unwavering support of the global Christian community, including compassionate partners like you.
World Relief remains steadfast in its commitment to those most affected by the war in Ukraine. In the winter of 2025, your support enabled us to reach more than 500 households with life-saving winter supplies as the cold months set in. And with an ongoing presence in the country, World Relief Ukraine is deepening partnerships, building unity across denominations and ensuring urgent needs are met while strengthening resilience for tomorrow.
Will you partner with us to help Ukrainians in need? Join us now.
