Lebanon Emergency Appeal
Following the escalation of violence in Lebanon since Monday 23 September 2024, and the increasing flow of displaced families urgently fleeing bombed areas, CARE has immediately stepped up its humanitarian aid operations in Lebanon.
Your donation could help us provide lifesaving aid
Since the escalation, 4,267 people have been killed and 17,579 people have been injured. At least 96,065 people remain displaced. Thousands of families have been forced to flee their homes in the search for safety in other parts of the country.
Distribution of hygiene kits and water has begun in five emergency shelters, as CARE immediately steps up its humanitarian aid operations. 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.

CARE Lebanon’s Communications Expert, speaks with ABC News
The needs are rising every day across nearly the entire nation. There is a shortage of shelters, and hospitals are struggling with limited capacity due to the economic crisis and the growing number of injured people. Those who have been displaced urgently need shelter, food, water, and hygiene supplies.

Donations over $2 are tax deductible. 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 donations will go to emergency relief and preparedness activities where it is needed most.
