Caritas for Middle East

Help people affected by the crisis in the Middle East

The security and humanitarian situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate. Ongoing attacks and growing instability have forced more than 4 million people from theirhomes. Many have left with only the bare essentials and are now finding temporary refuge in improvised shelters. The need for immediate humanitarian assistance is therefore increasing.

The Caritas network operates throughout the Middle Eastern region, providing people with lifesaving support. Thanks to local staff who know the environment and the communities, help can reach those most in need quickly and effectively.

Funds raised by Caritas Czech Republic will be used to provide material assistance and other essential aid to people in the Middle East.

Conflicts out of the spotlight: 6 crises we tend to forget about in 2026

Armed conflicts, ceasefires during which civilians continue to die, and drone attacks in previously safe areas. At the moment, there are more active conflicts than at any time since the end of World War II. Half of those conflicts are taking place in Africa. Their consequences do not affect only the participating states, their residents or neighbouring countries; they impact the whole world, our economy, environment and peace of mind. But what crises and conflicts stay out of the media spotlight? We bring you six examples in this article.

Ceasefire is not enough: War continues to threaten civilians, not only in Lebanon

A regional conflict that began at the end of February 2026 with an attack on Iran and soon spread to other countries has not stopped despite the announced ceasefire. The situation remains uncertain. In Lebanon, political leaders have advised internally displaced persons not to return home, which represents an opposite approach to the one they took during the conflict in 2024. In the country, almost one-fifth of the population has been forced to leave their homes, and more than one million people remain displaced. Caritas Czech Republic supports them through cooperation with Caritas Lebanon.
