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.
