The People of Lebanon are in Crisis

Following months of bombardment, they now face immediate and long-term hardship and suffering with no end in sight.

Entire families have been uprooted from their homes having left with almost nothing, facing uncertainty as they struggle to survive in temporary accommodation.

With no guarantee of their next meal, their safety, their return to education and work or their homes, men, women and children are struggling to cope with their loss.

Families in Lebanon are in urgent need of your support today.
