Humanitarian crisis in the Middle East
The escalation of the war in the Middle East has caused a dramatic humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. Swiss Solidarity is launching an urgent appeal for donations to step up humanitarian aid in view of the regionalisation of the conflict and the ensuing scale of the humanitarian crisis.

We turn your donations into aid
For over 75 years, the Swiss Solidarity Foundation (SwS) has embodied the solidarity of the people of Switzerland. In partnership with the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation SRG SSR and private media organisations, SwS alerts the public and organises appeals for donations for victims of natural disasters and conflicts, child relief and vulnerable people in Switzerland. Internationally, SwS supports the humanitarian projects of its 28 partner NGOs. In Switzerland, SwS works with various local organisations to bridge gaps in the Swiss social welfare system. SwS functions independently, responsibly and transparently, monitoring projects and seeing to the judicious use of donations. Since 1946, Swiss Solidarity has raised over two billion Swiss francs.
