Australia for UNHCR is delivering life-saving emergency relief for refugees, wherever and whenever disaster strikes UNHCR's Emergency Response staff respond quickly and effectively during times of crisis, anywhere in the world. They work in some of the toughest conditions, delivering life-saving essentials like food, water, shelter and healthcare.

When a crisis strikes, UNHCR's emergency teams are on the ground, supporting refugees at every stage of their ordeal - be it an eruption of fighting causing thousands of families to flee their homes, or a massive earthquake displacing hundreds of thousands.

More funding is needed to enable UNHCR to continue to provide shelter, food, water and protection for new refugees. Please donate today!

How we help: When people have fled their homes, they often do so with very little. The Emergency Response program ensures that UNHCR is on the ground providing assistance to the most vulnerable. Our planes are loaded with vital supplies from one of our many warehouses and staff are flown in with expertise that can save countless refugee lives.
