Humanitarian Aid in the Middle East
In the Middle East some of the worst humanitarian disasters in recent history have unfolded, mainly through armed conflicts. The German Red Cross supports a wide variety of projects in the individual countries and regions of the Middle East.
Great need for humanitarian action
The need for humanitarian aid in the Middle East is great. This is due to ongoing crises, but also to the effects of climate change and extreme weather events such as droughts and floods. Those effects are devastating the livelihoods of the people living there.
In addition to humanitarian aid in Yemen, our assistance in the Middle East continues to focus on the consequences of the Syrian crisis. We are also work in other countries with supporting projects in the areas of health, disaster risk reduction and improving livelihoods.
