Emergency Appeal For Lebanon

The Crisis in Lebanon
Lebanon is currently enduring one of the most severe humanitarian crises in its history. The devastating combination of economic collapse, political instability, and the aftermath of the 2020 Beirut port explosion has left the country in turmoil. Now, the situation is further exacerbated by escalating violence and conflict, leading to widespread suffering among the Lebanese people. Basic necessities such as food, water, and medical supplies are scarce, and the healthcare system is on the brink of collapse. Families are being forced to make impossible choices to survive, and the need for immediate humanitarian assistance is urgent.
Impact on the Population
Economic Hardship: Lebanon’s economic crisis has pushed over 70% of the population below the poverty line. The local currency has lost over 90% of its value, leading to skyrocketing prices for essential goods and services. Unemployment rates are at an all-time high, and many families struggle to afford even the most basic necessities.
Healthcare Crisis: The healthcare system is overwhelmed. Hospitals are running out of supplies, and there is a severe shortage of essential medications. The ongoing conflict has resulted in numerous injuries and casualties, further straining medical resources. COVID-19 continues to pose a significant threat, with limited access to vaccines and treatment.
Displacement and Shelter: The conflict has led to the displacement of thousands of families, who now live in overcrowded and unsafe conditions. These vulnerable populations lack access to clean water, sanitation, and proper shelter, making them susceptible to disease and further hardship.
Children at Risk: Children are among the hardest hit by this crisis. Many are out of school due to the destruction of educational facilities and the economic necessity for them to work and support their families. The psychological impact on these young minds is immense, with many experiencing trauma from the violence and instability.
