The Disasters Emergency Committee raised £102m through two appeals in the last year, according to its latest annual report.

The charity said the money was raised from the Syria Crisis Appeal and the Philippines Typhoon Appeal. The DEC raised £63m for the appeals, including £57m for the Phillipines and another £6m for Syria.

Its 14 member charities raised another £39m for the two appeals, but the DEC said it could not break down how much had been raised for which appeal.

The DEC launched its Philippines Typhoon Appeal in November 2013. It also continues to run the Syria Crisis Appeal, which was launched in March 2013, and initially ran for six months, as is normal for DEC campaigns. It was extended following a dramatic escalation in the displacement of people caused by civil war.

Saleh Saeed, chief executive of the DEC, said: “Humanitarian disasters caused by wars almost always raise less than those caused by natural disasters and this total is a credit to the generosity of the UK public.”

The DEC’s total income in the year 2013/14 was £70m, with £69m of that figure coming from its appeal income, and £716,000 coming from donations from member agencies.

It distributed £25.4m to its member agencies, where as in 2012/13 it distributed £29m. Action Aid received the most in distributions (£2.3m), with money from the Pakistan Floods Appeal, the East Africa Crisis Appeal, the Syria Crisis Appeal and the Philippines Typhoon Appeal.

The DEC, which is made up of 14 UK aid charities, turned 50 in 2013, having run 65 appeals and raised a total of £1.2 billion to help tens of millions of people around the world.

Its total income this year was £70m, with £7m that did not relate to the two appeals.

Last year the DEC’s total income was £6.3m.
