Emergencies

In times of emergency, your support helps CARE save precious lives

The world’s poorest people are the most vulnerable to devastating emergencies – natural disasters, war, famine, and outbreaks of disease.

We are currently responding to emergencies all around the world – read below for more information about each situation.

Whether it’s a man-made or natural disaster, just after the emergency has occurred we provide food, shelter, clean water, sanitation facilities, medical care, tools, and seeds to the people who need it most.

We continue to help people rebuild their lives and restore their livelihoods in the years following the event. We also work in disaster risk reduction, working with communities to help them prepare and plan for emergencies, and work specifically with women who are disproportionately affected by emergencies.

Afghanistan Emergency Appeal

Afghanistan has been hit by a deadly earthquake. A worsening hunger crisis is making the lives of women and marginalised groups in Afghanistan especially challenging.

COVID-19 Emergency

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to heavily impact some of the world’s poorest and most conflict-ravaged communities where healthcare systems are already weak and under-resourced, and supplies have been wiped out by disaster or conflict.

Syria Emergency

The biggest humanitarian emergency of our time. 11.7 million Syrians inside the country are in need of humanitarian assistance, including 5.8 million children. In addition to immediate humanitarian needs, CARE is developing resilience programs, providing families with livelihoods support, and microfinance.

Yemen Emergency

Seven years of war, then cholera, famine, and now COVID-19: Yemen is suffering the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
