UNHCR | East and Horn of Africa Flooding
Please donate today to provide life-saving relief to families who have lost everything.
Flooding and landslides across the region including Kenya, Burundi and Somalia have destroyed hundreds of thousands of houses, schools and community buildings. It has washed away crops, and killed livestock, putting people in danger of hunger, infection, and disease.
UNHCR is on the ground, working directly with governments and local authorities to move people to safer ground and set up emergency shelter. We have already distributed core relief items, but more help is urgently needed.
Heavy rains and extreme climate events are expected to continue in the coming months, putting more lives at risk.
Please donate today.
