DEC Coronavirus Appeal

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has just launched a Coronavirus Appeal to raise funds to help the most vulnerable communities in the world fleeing from conflict and instability who now face the new deadly threat of Covid-19.

The DEC Appeal aims to protect people from the virus in the world’s five most fragile states, plus Afghanistan, the most fragile state in Asia, and the world’s largest refugee camp, in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.

The UK-wide appeal is being driven by urgent humanitarian need – but also by “good sense”, Alexander Matheou, British Red Cross,  Executive Director of International told journalists at the appeal’s press launch.

“We’re not safe until we’re all safe,” he said. “The world is interconnected. We need to help each other in this time of need.”    You can read more here.
