‍This Ramadan, support health emergencies

‍

WHO works on the frontlines of the world’s most severe health emergencies. Your generosity helps deliver lifesaving health care to families caught in emergencies across Gaza, Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen and the rest of the world.

Make your Sadaqah count today, support WHO act when crisis arises.

WHO responds and rebuilds

The World Health Organization leads the global health response in emergencies. When crisis strikes, WHO is already there to move medicine within hours, evacuate the critically ill, and protect millions from preventable disease. From quick efficient delivery of medical supplies, to vaccination campaigns to medical evacuations, WHO supports those who need it most.

But we need to move beyond temporary relief. This Ramadan, your generosity helps rebuild health infrastructure and prevent disease outbreaks, creating lasting resilience for families.

WHO's Response

The World Health Organization (WHO) works on the frontlines of the world’s most severe health emergencies. Across conflict-affected regions, WHO:
‍

Delivers lifesaving medical supplies from it's Dubai hub withing 12-24 hours of crisis

Provides medical evacuations in Gaza when local health systems collapse

Supports stabilization centers in Sudan so displaced communities with severe malnutrition can recover

Delivers life saving vaccination campaigns in Yemen, Gaza and Sudan for polio and cholera

‍

Giving to WHO's emegency response ensures that your Sadaqah gets to those who need it most

When a health emergency strikes, the biggest challenge is time.

WHO’s Dubai Hub is one of the world’s largest humanitarian logistics centers, allowing life-saving health supplies to be pre-positioned, packed, and dispatched within hours — not weeks. From this hub, medicines, vaccines, emergency kits, and protective equipment are sent to crisis zones before hospitals are overwhelmed and outbreaks spread.

Your Sadaqah helps ensure that when emergencies happen, health supplies are already ready to move — reaching frontline health workers without delay.

‍

In many emergencies, hospitals are damaged, overwhelmed, or unable to provide specialized treatment.

In these situations, WHO supports medical evacuations and emergency referrals so critically ill and injured patients can access care that is no longer available locally. This includes trauma care, surgical referrals, and intensive treatment for patients who cannot wait.

Medical evacuations require coordination, medical teams, transport, and constant readiness. Your Sadaqah helps sustain this complex system so patients are not left without options when health systems are under extreme pressure.

‍

For children suffering from severe acute malnutrition, access to urgent medical care is essential.

WHO supports stabilization centers that provide inpatient treatment for the most severe cases, combining medical care, therapeutic nutrition, and close monitoring. In 2025 alone, more than 112,400 severely malnourished children received treatment through WHO-supported stabilization centers.

Your Sadaqah helps ensure these centers remain operational, equipped, and staffed — so children can receive the care they urgently need during emergencies.

‍

Disease outbreaks often follow conflict, displacement, and the collapse of basic services.

WHO plays a central role in emergency vaccination campaigns to prevent the spread of deadly diseases. In 2025, WHO helped vaccinate:

24 million people against cholera
Over 5.5 million children against polio
More than 6.7 million children against measles and rubella

Your Sadaqah supports vaccination efforts that help contain outbreaks, protect communities, and reduce the strain on already fragile health systems.
