Disaster Relief

Afghanistan Crisis

In 2021, drought, conflict, high inflation and COVID-19 have gripped the already struggling country forcing even more people to become displaced and hungry. Today, one in three Afghans are experiencing crisis levels of food insecurity. And, with the upcoming winter, these numbers are only expected to rise.

ADRA is helping provide internally displaced people with food and heating so they can survive the Afghan winter.

Philippines Typhoon Response

Typhoon (Rai) Odette struck the Philippines on December 16, affecting over 2.6 million people and creating damage and flooding throughout nine regions. ADRA is providing affected people with cash assistance so families and individuals can access food and shelter. So far, ADRA has assisted 1,450 families across Surigao del Norte and Cebu City. Your gift can help ADRA continue to help the most vulnerable.

COVID-19 Response

ADRA has been responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in multiple countries across Asia and the Pacific. As well as equipping existing projects with the support they need, ADRA has also responded in an emergency capacity to surges in countries including India, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, and Fiji. Our response includes providing critical oxygen resources to hospitals, supporting local clinic staff, promoting preventive measures, providing vital personal protective equipment like masks to frontline medical staff, and providing food and financial assistance. Your donation today will help to ensure we can protect the most vulnerable countries in their response to the pandemic.

Haiti Earthquake

On Saturday 14th August, Haiti was struck by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that destroyed homes and caused widespread destruction. A 5.2 magnitude aftershock caused further damage. Over 1,200 people have died and thousands were injured and are now homeless. ADRA is on the ground providing relief. Plans are being made to distribute food, water, hygiene items, and tent tarpaulins to affected families. ADRA is also collaborating with a nearby Adventist hospital to assist those who were injured.

Deadly disasters often strike without warning.

With a strong global presence in over 100 countries, ADRA is well-placed to help in times of need. When people need us, we’re already there.

Your gift to our Disaster Relief Fund helps us provide immediate disaster relief when disasters, like those listed above, strike. As well as helping to provide long-term recovery and disaster risk reduction activities in the aftermath.
