Urgent Appeal for Lebanon
Conflict across the Middle East continues to escalate and spread at an alarming pace.
We are urgently developing risk education messaging for families in Lebanon, covering safety around explosive items, how to avoid rubble and details of reporting hazards. The information will be distributed online, on billboards, and across 60 villages where families are displaced.
This is vital, potentially life-saving information with lessons drawn directly from our risk education work in Gaza.
Please donate today, every penny you give will go directly to help our emergency response in Lebanon.
In Lebanon, intense, heavy bombardments are destroying homes, roads, and critical infrastructure, forcing thousands of civilians to flee for the second time in two years.
In every conflict, civilians bear the heaviest burden. Nine out of ten people who are killed or injured are civilians. Children, who never start wars, are often among those who suffer the most. In conflict zones, they account for nearly half of all civilian casualties caused by landmines and unexploded bombs.
"FOR TEN YEARS, I WORKED HARD TO BUILD A HOME WITH SWEAT AND HOPE, BRICK BY BRICK, A SANCTUARY FOR MY CHILDREN. BUT THE WAR CAME, TAKING MORE THAN JUST WALLS AND A ROOF; IT TOOK MY DREAMS, LEAVING ME WITH NOTHING BUT THE PAIN OF DISPLACEMENT. A FATHER'S JOURNEY IS NOT JUST TO PROVIDE, BUT TO PROTECT, AND I WORRY FOR MY KIDS ALONG THE WAY. AND NOW, IN THE RUINS OF THE PAST, I WILL REBUILD AGAIN, NOT FROM STONE, BUT FROM THE COURAGE TO CARRY ON."
