When disaster strikes every second counts
They’ve lost homes, loved ones, and livelihoods. But with your help, they won’t lose hope. Your support today is the reason they’ll survive tomorrow.
The world is changing and not in ways that inspire hope.

Life in a war zone
Riham, Artificial Limb and Polio Centre, Gaza City
When the building in Gaza where she lived was bombed, Riham lost her leg, and with it, her sense of purpose.
“I felt my life was dark and without meaning,” she says.
At the artificial Limb and Polio Cente our partners gave her specialist care and a prosthetic limb. “When I was treated and the prosthesis was fitted, I felt like a human being again.”
