An unprecedented humanitarian emergency is unfolding right now across Europe and the Mediterranean.
UNHCR is on the ground providing life-saving assistance but we need your help.
Since the start of this year, over 320,000 people have crossed the Mediterranean, undertaking treacherous journeys from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, and other countries torn apart by war, persecution, and a horrifying list of human miseries.
Thousands of families are fleeing for their lives, risking the treacherous sea and land crossings. Many having no choice but to board over-crowded, flimsy boats to give their children a chance of survival and safety. For some, this desperate journey will be their last. Almost 3,000 people have drowned trying to reach safety in Europe. The crossing is dangerous but for many families, who have lived through years of trauma and face ongoing conflict, fleeing their homes and making this journey is the only choice they feel they have.
UNHCR is on the ground, protecting refugees and providing lifesaving assistance such as shelter, food, water and medical care to refugees arriving in Europe. We are also providing assistance and protection in countries where refugees transit along their journey to Europe.
But, with so many in need, a donation today is vital and will help UNHCR to save lives and protect families who have been forced to flee their homes.
一場史無前例的人道危機正在歐洲和地中海地區發生
聯合國難民署正在前線拯救生命及提供援助,但我們需要你的幫助。
自今年初,已有超過32萬人冒險橫渡地中海,他們來自敍利亞、伊拉克、阿富汗、蘇丹和其他被戰爭蹂躏的國家,面對迫害和苦難。
成千上萬的家庭經陸路或海路逃亡,踏上危機重重的旅程。很多人無奈地登上過度擁擠及不安全的船隻,為的只是給兒女一線生機和尋找安身之所。但有部分人卻是踏上死亡之旅。近3000人在前往歐洲途中淹死。對許多家庭來說,生活在持續不斷的衝突中及經歷多年的創傷,逃離家園是他們唯一選擇。
聯合國難民署正在前線工作,為抵達歐洲的難民提供保護及援助,如庇護所、食物、水和醫療服務等。我們亦在難民前往歐洲的中轉站國家,提供援助和保護。
面對龐大的需求,您今天的捐款至關重要,將有助於難民署拯救生命和保護被迫逃離家園的家庭。
