Lebanon is currently fighting the effects of the tragic Beirut explosion. In solidarity, I've decided to fundraise.
On the 4 August 2020, a massive explosion has rocked Beirut:
- The death toll from the blast has now risen to over 190
- Injuring more than 6,500
- 300,000 people are left homeless
- Thousands of people are still unaccounted, many of whom are
presumed killed by the blast.
- Destroyed several hospitals in the port city like Saint George Hospital, which has forced some to turn away patients and overwhelmed those that could take on victims and some to treat patients in the street due to severe damage it sustained.
Families are increasingly:
- unable to afford basic food items
- and other essentials such as electricity, cooking fuel, hygiene items, medicine and water.
Islamic Relief is on the ground to provide urgent support to those in need. The immediate response will include:
- Food supplies
- Water
- Hygiene kits (to reduce the spread of Covid-19)
Thanks for supporting Lebanon and for donating!
