URDA is sending an emergency appeal to support people in Lebanon with medical supplies for the wounded, food parcels for those whose houses have been destroyed, medicine, and medical aid for the clinics and hospitals in dire need of assistance. Support Lebanon as people are struggling to pass each day with dignity!
