For a significant part of the world, everyday activities still require fuel. When disaster strikes, fuel – like food and water – is a crucial resource. Fuel Relief Fund (FRF) has responded to 22 large-scale disasters, providing emergency fuel delivery to thousands of beneficiaries and hundreds of aid agencies. FRF has also supported large-scale emergency fuel assistance programs in countries across the globe, impacting millions of people in need.
In our most recent deployment, our team was on the ground in Turkey, distributing 280 tons of coal and benefiting 60,000 people. Our efforts in Ukraine and previous deployments, including Hurricanes Michael, Dorian, Laura, and Ida, have further demonstrated our commitment to providing critical fuel supplies and support to millions of people in need.
WHAT IS A FUEL CRISIS?
Cooking and refrigerating food, sanitizing drinking water and heating homes all require fuel. When a disaster strikes or armed conflict breaks out and power is disrupted, the resulting fuel scarcity can leave millions without food and shelter.
Without fuel, people can’t power home medical equipment, charge their phones to locate loved ones or drive injured or sick family members to receive care. First responders can’t conduct search and rescue operations or run field hospital generators. Critical infrastructure, like water treatment plants and medical facilities, ceases to function.
