Emergencies may happen any time
Emergencies can strike at any moment. Will you help us be prepared?
Humanitarian emergencies are increasing in number and complexity. Natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, along with ongoing and emerging conflicts, have made 117.3 million people worldwide forcibly displaced, creating an urgent need for humanitarian aid.
Preparedness is the key. When an emergency strike - with or without warning - we need to be prepared. Within 72 hours, our teams need to be ready to mobilize, our warehouses need to be stocked.
Help us get ready for every emergency.
UNHCR’s country operations regularly monitor risks. Our top priority is to save lives and reduce suffering by providing essential humanitarian assistance.
How would you like to donate?
Your money helps UNHCR provide protection, shelter and other forms of assistance, and advocacy on behalf of displaced and stateless people every year
We ensure that as many funds as possible are redirected to refugees, stateless persons and asylum-seekers. 85 per cent of all funds raised go directly to field operations. 7 per cent is allocated for global programmes, helping refugees, internally displaced people, asylum seekers and stateless people under the UNHCR mandate around the world, and 8 per cent is for headquarters administration.
UNHCR staff work as closely as possible with and for people forced to flee, with 90 per cent of our workforce based in field locations. For further details on UNHCR's budget, read our Global Report.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organisation dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for people forced to flee their homes because of conflict and persecution.
We lead international action to protect refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people.
We deliver life-saving assistance, help safeguard fundamental human rights, and develop solutions that ensure people have a safe place called home where they can build a better future. We also work to ensure that stateless people are granted a nationality.
We work in over 130 countries, using our expertise to protect and care for millions.
