Middle East Crisis: Lebanon

As conflict intensifies across the Middle East, Lebanon – a country already experiencing a humanitarian crisis – has seen extreme disruptions to essential services.

Over one million people have been displaced since war escalated at the start of March, losing their homes and livelihoods.

Our Regional Director in Lebanon shared:

“Families already worn down by years of hardship are once again on the move, with thousands forced to sleep in cars and public spaces.”

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.
