Urgent Responses
Myanmar
On March 28, a catastrophic 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, devastating communities already suffering from years of conflict and displacement. With the epicenter in the region that hosts over 1.6 million internally displaced persons (IDPs), this disaster compounds an already dire humanitarian crisis. Homes, infrastructure and vital public services have been destroyed. More than 2,000 people have lost their lives, thousands are injured, and survivors are facing critical shortages of food, water, shelter and medical care.
World Relief is mobilizing alongside long standing partners to provide emergency relief. Your gift today will help us respond swiftly and compassionately to help those in crisis. Will you give now to bring relief to Myanmar?
Middle East

The humanitarian crisis in the Middle East has been deepening. On September 23, 2024, Israeli forces launched an extensive attack on Hezbollah military assets in Lebanon. Since the attack, more than 1,030 people have lost their lives, including 87 children and 156 women, with over 6,000 individuals injured. More than 1 million men, women and children in Beirut and across Southern Lebanon have fled their homes, adding to the millions already displaced in the region. In retaliation, Hezbollah has ramped up rocket attacks on Israel, injuring innocent civilians.
World Relief has been responding to the crisis in the Middle East alongside local partners and we’re expanding our efforts to deliver emergency aid in Lebanon and the wonder region. We urgently need your help! Your donation will go directly to providing life-saving assistance to those affected by this escalating crisis.
Israel and Gaza
On October 7th, 2023, Palestinian militant group, Hamas, carried out a deadly attack on Israel. Thousands were killed or injured and an unknown number were abducted — reportedly including the elderly, women and children.
On October 7, 2023, the world was shaken by news of the deadly attack on Israel by Palestinian armed groups in Gaza. Seven months on, more than 100 Israeli and foreign national hostages are still held captive. The United Nations reports that over 34,000 Palestinians have lost their lives in Gaza and more than 2 million people have been displaced. The destruction of infrastructure and severe famine have left Gazans exposed and defenseless.
World Relief is working though partners on the ground to respond to this grave crisis, caring for both Palestinians and Israelis impacted by the ongoing conflict. While access continues to be difficult in Gaza, we are providing essential medicines that are adequate for about 70,000 people and free mobile primary health clinics, as well as latrines in gathering areas for internally displaced persons (IDP) and solarized water filtration systems. In the West Bank, we are distributing food and basic essential items to those economically impacted. And across the border in Egypt, we are also supporting those Palestinians displaced by the war with food, essential non-food items, transportation and housing.
Will you give today to help those in Israel and Gaza?

Ongoing Responses
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.
