Air raids have killed over 2,500 people, including children, and have injured at least 12,000 people.

With conflict continuing unabated, this number is expected to increase dramatically. Around 1,000,000 people have been internally displaced, as thousands of families have been forced to flee their homes in the search for safety in other parts of the country.

Our teams are already mobilised in Lebanon to provide relief and aid to displaced populations. We will scale up our response to provide them with basic necessities such as food, water, bedding, hygiene and dignity kits.

Please give now to support families devastated by this escalation of conflict in the Middle East.

“In the streets of Beirut, we can see families displaced by yesterday’s heavy bombings, with children sleeping in the back of their cars. The panic and fear have intensified among the entire population. A member of our team spent the night outside his building with seven other family members, all traumatised by the blasts that shook Beirut.


At the same time, CARE continues to increase our distributions of hygiene and dignity kits, water, and food— in collective shelters, but not only there, but also where people spontaneously gather to take shelter.”


Michael Adams, Country Director of CARE in Lebanon

“The needs are rising every day, even hour by hour, almost throughout the entire country. There are not enough shelters. Hospitals have limited capacity due to the ongoing economic crisis and the influx of injured individuals. Displaced people are in need of shelter, food, water and hygiene kits.


Women and girls are particularly vulnerable, and we are doing everything we can to meet their specific needs. All these people, all these displaced families need help. And they need it urgently.”

Should the funds raised through an emergency appeal exceed the amount required to meet the immediate and longer term needs of the people in the affected areas, or if there are changes in circumstances beyond CARE’s control which limit its ability to utilise all funds in the affected areas, CARE will direct excess funds to other emergency relief activities in the future.

Monthly donation will go to emergency relief & preparedness activities where it is needed most.
