More than £800,000 has been donated to the Guardian and Observer charity appeal to support victims of conflict and war just over two weeks into the campaign.

The annual appeal is raising money for three charities: Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and War Child, which carry out frontline medical work in war zones, and Parallel Histories, which helps schools teach sensitive and controversial histories such as those of Northern Ireland, Israel and Palestine.

More than 7,600 readers have donated so far to the appeal, which runs into the new year. Hundreds have written to the Guardian explaining why they have given. One said: "To express my solidarity with those who suffer but also with those who do something to ease the hardships of wars and conflicts."
