We
never know where or when an emergency will strike. When it does, we will
never take resources away from the long-term work we’re doing to build
stronger and more resilient communities.
Our Humanitarian Response Fund allows us to respond quickly to emergencies
while supporting communities to withstand, adapt, and overcome hardships
for brighter futures in 40+ countries worldwide.
Right now, we’ve almost reached our critical $80,000 fundraising goal for
our Humanitarian Response Fund. [ [link removed] ]Will you give today and help deliver
urgent, lifesaving aid to people around the world?

War, hunger, poverty, and disasters are devastating the lives and
livelihoods of millions of people. Here are updates on emergencies that
Mercy Corps is responding to:
[ [link removed] ][IMG]
A recent United Nations-backed report confirmed famine in parts of North
Darfur. Over recent months, conflict spiraled in the state and drove an
estimated 150,000 to 200,000 people fleeing to Zamzam camp in North
Darfur, bringing the total population of the camp to over half a million.
The camp’s residents are among the more than 25 million people across
Sudan who are now experiencing severe food shortages that could lead to
malnutrition and death.
Mercy Corps is actively responding to the hunger crisis in Sudan,
providing immediate support including cash aid to internally displaced
people to help them buy essentials like food, water, medicine, and hygiene
supplies.

Intensified airstrikes, including in areas previously designated as
"humanitarian zones," have resulted in mass civilian deaths and further
shrinking space to deliver life-saving supplies. Civilians have been given
insufficient time to flee, and there is nowhere safe to go.
Now families in Gaza face yet another threat: The World Health
Organization recently released a report showing a high risk of the polio
virus spreading across Gaza after traces were detected in six wastewater
samples — tens of thousands of children under age five are now at risk of
contracting polio.

action when emergencies like famine in Sudan and war in Gaza put lives on
the line. [ [link removed] ]Please make your gift to the Humanitarian Response Fund
