Dear LEELA,
This weekend, the strongest earthquake in 80 years hit Nepal.
As of this morning the quake has claimed over 3,900 lives and reduced homes and critical infrastructure to rubble. Countless families are in urgent need of shelter.
But with your support today, 11,000 plastic sheets and 4,000 solar lanterns from UNHCR emergency stocks are on their way to some of the hardest hit areas, providing safer shelter for survivors, and even a way to charge cell phones and other key communications devices, in the critical first hours after the disaster.
But even as we respond to this crisis in Nepal, other emergencies around the world, from Syria, to Latin America, to the Mediterranean, have stretched our resources thin, and we need your help right now to continue our response. Will you donate to replenish critical disaster relief supplies and save lives around the world?
Emergency: Make a lifesaving gift today
Your generosity makes it possible for UNHCR to respond at a moment's notice to a crisis – and right now people's lives hang in the balance.
Donate to USA for UNHCR's emergency response efforts and be a lifeline for people with nowhere else to turn.
Your generosity is what makes it possible for UNHCR to be there when people's lives have been turned upside down, whether it's rushing key survival supplies in the aftermath of a natural disaster or, more often, responding to those who have been forced from their homes by armed conflict.
From Syria, to Yemen, to the thousands of people making the harrowing journey across the Mediterranean in overcrowded, dangerous rafts your compassionate response in times of crises means people in the most desperate circumstance can find safe haven.
Thank you,
Anne-Marie Grey
Executive Director and CEO
USA for UNHCR
