It’s time to get together and help the people in need. A new report from the UN refugee agency says that more than 2500 migrants and refugees have died or gone missing this year only while crossing the Mediterranean Sea. More and more people are dying in their desperation to reach safety at the borders.

Here’s what you can do to help at home:

Make a Donation and/or Volounteer for an NGO:
Save the Children: distributing essential items such as nappies, hygiene kits and food
Red Cross Europe: providing emergency health services at central train stations
Migrant Offshore Aid Station: dedicated to preventing migrant deaths at sea
International Rescue Committee:  improving living conditions by setting up camps
The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR): providing water, mosquito nets, tents, healthcare
Refugee Action: advice about claiming asylum, the asylum process, asylum support
World Vision: providing food, water, shelter, education and psychosocial care
