In recent years, this has included delivering life-saving aid to people affected by the devastating floods in Pakistan, and to people needing help due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and deteriorating humanitarian situation in Afghanistan. At times of crisis overseas, the DEC brings together 15 leading UK aid charities to raise funds quickly and efficiently.

By pooling resources to work as one, DEC is pivotal in co-ordinating the UK public’s response to these crises. It helps to save, protect and rebuild the lives of people facing life-and-death situations through effective humanitarian response.
