Story
Lebanon, a country already on the brink of economic collapse and famine, due to the combined challenges of a banking crisis and Covid-19 lockdown has now suffered a devastating shock with a huge explosion that has killed more than 200 people and injured over 6,000.
Around half a million children in Beirut are struggling for survival or going hungry as families are increasingly unable to afford basic food items and other essentials such as electricity, cooking fuel, hygiene items, medicine and water.
More than 300,000 people have also been made homeless as a result of the explosion.
The Beirut explosion only makes things worse.
ISLAMIC RELIEF IS ON THE GROUND!
Having carried out a thorough needs assessment, Islamic Relief teams in Beirut, Lebanon have identified food, water, shelter and medical assistance as the most urgent needs.
Your donations will fund immediate emergency response and wider long-term rehabilitation.
The initial response will focus on distributing ready to eat meals, hygiene kits and health assistance supporting people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance who are currently sheltering in communal buildings such as schools, mosques and churches.
Please support me in fundraising for the people of Lebanon. Donate towards the Lebanon Emergency Appeal and help save lives.
