Live emergencies 2026

Emergencies are becoming increasingly unpredictable, with a changing climate making disasters hit even harder.

Here's how we're responding to recent disasters - all helped by donations to our Emergency Fund.

Flood in Nepal and Tibet

Our teams have been quick to mobilise after a devastating flash flood hit Nepal and Tibet on 25 August 2026. We're assessing how we can assist Nepalese communities right now, including aiding search and rescue.

Your donation now helps us respond with rapid action after devastating floods like the one in Nepal.

Ebola in Democratic Republic of Congo

Amid the recent Ebola outbreak in the DRC, we're supporting frontline health facilities in affected areas, focusing on restoring safe water access. We're also aiding preparedness in surrounding countries to prevent further spread.

Donating to our Emergency Fund helps us to respond to deadly epidemics like Ebola.

Earthquake in Venezuela

Action Against Hunger teams distribute emergency supplies in Venezuela.

We were quick to supply essential humanitarian aid when an earthquake hit Venezuela in June of this year. We distributed menstrual hygiene kits to women and girls and provided cleaning materials to shelters as part of our response.
