The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) today announced that generous UK donations to its Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal have allowed its member charities and their local partners to reach 6.9 million people* affected by the conflict in two years.
Two years on from the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, the DEC’s appeal has raised £426 million, including £25 million matched by the UK Government through the Aid Match scheme. This makes the DEC the largest charity donor to the humanitarian response (according to UN figures) and represents the equivalent of £6.35 from every person in the UK.
