Dear friend,

This year has not been short of crises posing extreme challenges for
millions of families across the globe. The scale of need has been
compounded by the growing obstacles to delivering humanitarian aid — and
growing threats to emergency responders.

According to the UN, 280 aid workers were killed in 2023, making it the
deadliest year on record. Now, 2024 is on track to be even worse as
conflict in Gaza, Sudan and beyond continues to put civilians — and the
humanitarians who are committed to supporting them — at risk.

The safety of Mercy Corps staff is essential to our ability to provide
life-saving assistance to communities trying to survive through
devastating crises. From urgently responding to emergencies in Gaza,
Sudan, and Ukraine to working shoulder-to-shoulder with people in
Columbia, Guatemala, and Jordan and beyond, Mercy Corps team members are
helping communities recover and rebuild stronger.

honor of World Humanitarian Day, will you make a gift to our Humanitarian
Response Fund to help Mercy Corps team members get all the resources they
need to continue effectively responding to the needs of communities on a
daily basis?

Lebanon.
 


As humanitarian workers continue to face increasing violence on the
frontlines, we are seeing a blatant disregard for 75 years of
International Humanitarian Law that is eroding the foundation of our
collective humanity. Healthcare centers, aid convoys, ambulances, schools,
and shelters have been under attack, creating more suffering for civilians
who need it most.

Aid workers are crucial in responding to emergencies and supporting
communities overcoming humanitarian crises. No matter where they are
across the globe, humanitarian workers must be protected from violence,
assaults, and lethal risks while delivering critical aid to civilians.

Today, on World Humanitarian Day, I honor the dedication, compassion,
generosity, and commitment of Mercy Corps’ 6,000+ team members. Because
95% of our team works in the country they are from, they often experience
the same challenges as the communities we serve. Their perspectives,
relationships, and familiarity with the places they work are critical to
our mission.

I am
so grateful for you, as your commitment helps drive our efforts and Mercy
Corps team members to make a direct impact on the lives of millions of
families in 40+ countries where we work. [ [link removed] ]Can I count on you to make a
gift to the Humanitarian Response Fund today?

With your support, Mercy Corps can always be ready when emergencies strike
— reaching families across the world with clean water, food, economic
opportunities, and peaceful tomorrows.

Thank you,

Tjada D’Oyen McKenna,
Mercy Corps Chief Executive Officer
