Operation Refugee 2026

Supporting Refugees around the world.

The plight of refugees is dire, with many facing severe hardships daily. Global funding has been falling and families are facing higher prices and less support.

By joining this year’s Operation Refugee your community can help refugees with food, education and medical care. Working together with our local partners, we can provide the help they urgently need.

The Middle East is living through a season of profound upheaval. Conflict, political fragmentation, and economic collapse continue to shape daily life across Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and Yemen. For families already living in poverty, these overlapping crises have deepened hardship and eroded access to food, healthcare, education, and safe shelter. Christian World Service (CWS), together with our partners the ACT Alliance and the Middle East Council of Churches, remains determined to do all in our power to aid them by any actionable means possible in the tragic circumstances currently at play.

Your donations made here to our ongoing Middle East Appeal will be directed to our Middle East partners to join with donations being made from across the world. While we are not currently able to be specific about where a donation is applied in the region at this writing, we ask you to make your donation in faith that our Middle East partners will know how to put them to good use as they are best able in helping those caught in the hideous situation currently unfolding.

Also be assured we will be updating this page and our CWS site with more detail on how donated funding is applied as that information comes to hand.
