Protect civilians in the Middle East

A family poses in syria — Mercy Corps provides water trucking and sanitation services for families like Fatima’s* in displacement camps in Syria. With escalating tensions in the Middle East, more strain will be put on resources at these displacement camps.

Civilians across the Middle East have had their lives upended by escalating conflict — displaced, killed, injured, and forced to flee their homes or across borders. The humanitarian consequences are rapidly worsening.

We call on all parties to pursue de-escalation, uphold international law, protect civilians, and ensure safe, sustained humanitarian access for families affected by this crisis.

Mercy Corps and our partners are committed to delivering lifesaving aid to families in the region, and we urge leaders to pursue meaningful pathways toward peace. The fighting must stop before this crisis deepens further and more innocent lives are lost.
