Dear John,

Have you heard about the fierce fighting in Afghanistan? Since the start of the year, conflict has already driven some 270,000 vulnerable people out of their homes – and numbers are growing every day. As the conflict spreads, thousands more families are expected to flee. People are fleeing with nothing. After years of crisis, a severe drought and the threat of COVID-19 are only making things harder.

We need your help today to prepare for the worst. 

UNHCR’s emergency teams are on the ground, restocking life-saving supplies and making sure that these vulnerable families have safe shelter.

We are at the forefront of the humanitarian response to this crisis - but we can’t do this alone. We urgently need to scale up our supplies so that we are ready to respond as the situation worsens.

Help us prepare so that we can protect these families who so desperately need support.

Please donate now. 

Thank you.
