The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has launched its Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, aiming to raise money for people displaced by the conflict. More than a million refugees have reportedly fled Ukraine since the Russian invasion last week.
With the war in Ukraine still raging and civilian casualties mounting, the DEC is appealing to Britons to give what they can so that more humanitarian aid can be provided to Ukrainians in need. The government has committed to match donations up to £20 million.
According to the United Nations, the exodus of refugees from Ukraine looks set to be the biggest refugee crisis of the 21st century so far. But what is the Disasters Emergency Committee, where is its money coming from, and what will it do with it?
