· The appeal has raised £426 million to date - equivalent of £6 from every person in the UK
· DEC charities and local partners have used donations to provide cash payments, food, clean water, accommodation, healthcare, mental health support, winter and hygiene items and much more.
The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) today announced that generous UK donations to its Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal have allowed its member charities and their local partners to reach 6.9 million people* affected by the conflict in two years.
Two years on from the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, the DEC’s appeal has raised £426 million, including £25 million matched by the UK Government through the Aid Match scheme. This makes the DEC the largest charity donor to the humanitarian response (according to UN figures) and represents the equivalent of £6.35 from every person in the UK.
DEC charities have provided food, clean water, shelter support, cash payments, healthcare, mental health support, winter and hygiene items and much more. As well as delivering aid directly, they have worked with a network of local organisations, helping them scale up their response
