There are an estimated 200 Palestinians a day fleeing the violence in Syria for the refugee camps in Lebanon. 

The limited housing, education and health services available to Palestinians in Lebanon were already over stretched and chronically underfunded. With a new wave of refugees entering the camps in Lebanon the essential services are at breaking point.

We are also working closely with the UN to ensure that refugees coming from Syria who have chronic or complicated life threatening illness, such as cancer, kidney dialysis or heart disease, are getting the vital medical help they need.

We have committed to spend at least an extra £100,000 to help the refugees coming from Syria. But we need your help now to be able to do this.

Our programmes in the refugee camps of Lebanon are already supporting the new wave of refugees from Syria. Our midwives are already visiting pregnant women, new mothers and their babies to ensure the trauma they have been through has as minimal impact as possible.  We are also providing psychosocial care to Palestinians fleeing Syria.
