UNHCR | Mpox Emergency | Donate now

Mpox has now been declared a Public Health Emergency worldwide—and people forced to flee are among those most vulnerable to its effects.  

Donate now to help prevent the spread of mpox and protect forcibly displaced people. 

The majority of cases have been reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where 7.3 million people have been displaced by conflict and natural disasters. Now, cases are on the rise in neighboring countries that have been generously hosting millions of refugees for decades. 

The virus is threatening people who are already living in desperate conditions—displaced by conflict and lacking even basic necessities like safe shelter, clean water, and medical care.  

Your donation today can provide soap and clean water and improve sanitation facilities in refugee camps and displacement sites to help prevent the spread of disease. Your support will also ensure that refugees and displaced people can access national health services for early diagnosis and care. 

Please donate now to help save lives and protect people forced to flee.
