As a result of the recent conflict, millions across the region have fled their homes in search of safety, food and basic supplies.

We’re responding right now – providing life-saving food, water, shelter, medicine and more. And we’re scaling up our work as the humanitarian crisis evolves.

How we're responding in the Middle East

Our teams are currently supporting families in Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan and Lebanon with essential aid.

Since the Middle East crisis intensified on 28 February 2026, we’ve scaled up our work, providing lifesaving aid including:

  • hygiene kits containing essentials like soap and toothpaste
  • clean water that's safe to drink and wash with
  • shelter and bedding for displaced families
  • high energy biscuits and nutrition supplements for children under 5, pregnant women and new mothers.

We urgently need more funds to meet the growing level of needs. Please donate to save lives.

Middle East Crisis: Lebanon

The ceasefire in Lebanon hasn’t brought the crisis to an end. 1.2 million people have been displaced, including 390,000 children. They’re without food, water or a safe place to return to.

Almost a quarter of the population continues to suffer from food insecurity. Families across Lebanon have reached a breaking point, losing their homes and livelihoods.

“A ceasefire does not restore homes, guarantee food or re-establish basic services. Vulnerability does not disappear overnight, and needs will persist for a long time if there is no reconstruction and restoration of public services.”

Sonia Ben Salem, Action Against Hunger’s Advocacy Coordinator in Lebanon

We’ve scaled up our emergency response in Lebanon, delivering lifesaving aid including:

  • 2,000 ready-to-eat food parcels
  • 49,000 litres of bottled water
  • 3,200 hygiene kits
  • support for three hospitals.

As more families are displaced, we’re also extending our support to 100 shelters across Lebanon.

Your emergency donation can help us reach more communities in Lebanon and across the Middle East with clean water, food, hygiene services and healthcare.
