DEC in Scotland

Floods are making already desperate conditions worse for the most vulnerable families in #Gaza This #GivingTuesday we thank the @FCDOGovUK for boosting #AidMatch by £3 million for our Middle East Humanitarian Appeal. Please watch and donate now, your support will be doubled.

Your donations continue to provide a lifeline for the most vulnerable people in #Gaza DEC member @Concern and its local partner @FondazioneCESVI have now repaired a school water supply. The relief and joy is clear to see. Thank you. ➡️ dec.org.uk

Today marks four years since the conflict in #Ukraine escalated. The DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal was one of our largest ever appeals, raising over £446 million from the UK public to support people affected by the crisis. Thanks to this generosity, DEC charities and their local partners have reached over ten million people with support. This includes: ➡️ Providing emergency food, clean water and shelter to families in need ➡️ Supporting access to healthcare, cash assistance and mental health support ➡️ Delivering aid both in Ukraine and to those who fled to neighbouring countries Our appeal has now closed but a number of DEC charities and their local partners continue to respond, adapting their work to meet the ongoing needs of communities affected by the disaster.

Through this festive period life saving work by our charity members and local partners is continuing. We also support ⁦@scotgov⁩ funded work in enormous, but lower profile #humanitarian crises like #Sudan and #DRC Thanks for all the support. app.scotsman.com/story/5453174/…

Severe storm #Byron is heading for #Gaza Floods have already made life even more difficult for hundreds of thousands of people in the territory without safe shelter, food, water and medical care. If you can please support our Appeal.

Thanks so much for your support once again Stuart, getting attention for the crisis amidst all the global challenges right now is vital as is explaining why we are asking for help right now.

Hi folks, here’s a quick message, an update about what’s happening in Gaza, the ongoing appeal by DEC, and about the progress being made. Thank you. dec.org.uk/appeal/middle-…

@PJFerguson18 @FCDOGovUK Thanks so much for your support Patricia

The @FCDOGovUK will be supporting the DEC’s Middle East Appeal by matching funds raised up to £3m. Increased access to aid in Gaza is still desperately needed & I'm pleased that the UK Gov is helping to support those in need. Find out below how you can support the appeal.

Great to get this support from the @TheScotsman Thank you 👏

DEC: Winter weather has arrived in Gaza, adding misery to the devastation. People urgently need support. Can you Help? #DEC #BritishRedCrossScotland #Gaza #MiddleEast #HumanitarianAppeal

The life saving work of our member charities in #Gaza and #Myanmar depends, of course, on individual donations across Scotland but also business partners like @NatWestGroup @brewgoodr who encourage customers and staff to donate. We're hugely grateful. heraldscotland.com/news/25649542.…

Hadi is scared about what another winter in Gaza will mean for his family. Many families like Hadi's need urgent assistance. The levels of need in Gaza are catastrophic. Your donation can be a lifeline. Please donate today. donation.dec.org.uk/middle-east-ap…

“The ceasefire is not the end, it is a beginning.” If you can, please donate to our renewed Appeal to help @christianaid and our other member charities save and protect lives in #Gaza app.scotsman.com/story/5364475/…

Aid trucks have just started to move into #Gaza thenational.scot/news/25535722.…

This is the beginning of a long, difficult road to recovery for the people of #Gaza If you can, please donate now. Thank you. app.scotsman.com/story/5355571/…

Dr Unni Krishnan, Global Humanitarian Director at DEC charity Plan International, is working with local teams in Egypt to prepare food packs that will make their way to families in Gaza. Each truck will provide five days' worth of food for around 6,000 people. But, as Dr Unni Krishnan points out, this is only a fraction of what is needed. The ceasefire agreement in Gaza provides desperately-needed hope and relief for so many people whose lives have been devastated by conflict. DEC charities and their local partners are now preparing to scale up their work again, after months of extraordinary challenges delivering aid. The levels of need are catastrophic. The DEC is now renewing its appeal for donations to help meet the overwhelming needs in Gaza following the ceasefire agreement. As people in Gaza look towards an uncertain future, your support can be a lifeline. Please donate now. donation.dec.org.uk/middle-east-ap…

Thanks again Stuart for your support at this crucial time.

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. 👇 bit.ly/DECScotHope

Great to help our member charities ⁦@TearfundScot⁩ and ⁦@christianaidsco⁩ to secure vital funding from ⁦@scotgov⁩ for projects in #Sudan and #SouthSudan - the world’s worst but largely unreported #humanitarian crisis thenational.scot/news/25499226.…

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 dec.org.uk/appeal/myanmar…
