FOOD CRISIS: END HUNGER IN COUNTRIES TORN APART BY ARMED CONFLICT

 

Every day, armed conflict disrupts access to food, destroys livelihoods, and forces families to flee their homes, leaving millions without the means to feed themselves. Today, over 340 million people face acute food insecurity—most of them in conflict-affected areas. The ICRC works in the world’s most fragile contexts delivering emergency food, restoring livelihoods, and helping communities survive, rebuild, and regain their independence. But as needs grow, so must our response. Your donation can help provide timely, life-saving support to people trapped in crisis.

At the ICRC, we have the expertise and operational capacity to scale up our response, but sustained funding is essential to help us:

  • + deliver life-saving aid to families in dire need
  • + strengthen community resilience by reinforcing food production capacities
  • + improve access to essential services such as health, water, sanitation and energy

Together, let us make a difference. Thank you for your support.
