Mercy Corps teams and partners are monitoring the humanitarian impact of the escalating violence across Gaza and Israel, and we’re preparing to respond to rising humanitarian needs in the days and weeks ahead.

In Afghanistan, we are working to assist communities most in need with emergency water supplies, water purification kits, and other hygiene supplies — and we hope to expand the kinds of aid we are providing in the days and weeks to come.

These last few days have shown us once again that life can change in an instant — and that we must always be ready to respond.

Your gift today helps to support Mercy Corps teams and partners’ global humanitarian response in places like Afghanistan, Gaza, Syria, Ukraine, and in 40+ countries.

Thank you for your support in critical times of need,

The Mercy Corps team

POWERFUL EARTHQUAKES STRIKE AFGHANISTAN
Mercy Corps is committed to respond


Dear friend,

Yesterday, two magnitude 6.3 earthquakes and multiple aftershocks struck western Afghanistan, causing widespread damage across the region.

Mercy Corps teams have worked in Afghanistan since 1986, and in times of disaster like this one, we need all the support our global community can offer.

Please send an urgent gift to our Humanitarian Response Fund to help people in Afghanistan and around the world in moments of crisis.

Mercy Corps is working with partners in Afghanistan to assess needs, and we are committed to respond in the weeks and months to come, helping communities rebuild and recover. In past emergency response efforts we have provided essential resources like emergency water, sanitation, and hygiene support to communities affected by earthquakes.
