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.

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.
