On February 28, following attacks by U.S. and Israeli forces on Iran, the war in the Middle East escalated, expanding to 16 countries. Many of these regions were already struggling with massive humanitarian crises and a very high number of internally displaced persons (IDPs).
Current Situation:
- Lebanon: more than 84,000 people are already staying in approximately 400 temporary shelters.
- Syria: over 30,000 people - mostly Syrians living in Lebanon - have crossed the border back into Syria, seeking refuge from the attacks.
- West Bank: restrictions on the movement of Palestinians have been tightened.
- Gaza Strip: all border crossings have been closed, halting even urgent medical evacuations; there are grave concerns that this will lead to severe disruptions in the supply of food and other essential goods.
Our Impact:
We have been present in the region for 28 years, supporting people affected by wars and natural disasters. Currently, we are operating in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Yemen.
- Gaza Strip: we provide access to clean water and deliver food parcels.
- West Bank: we operate mobile clinics, train medical staff, and provide healthcare in hard-to-reach areas.
- Syria: we provide water in refugee camps, where many families are still struggling with the aftermath of the long-standing civil war.
- Yemen: we conduct training programs to build crisis resilience and improve agricultural productivity.
- Lebanon: we run Beirut GLOW Centre that empowers youth, creating a foundation for the future.
The most vulnerable are children, women, and the elderly – those who find it hardest to flee and who bear the long-term consequences of war. You can help them survive.
