Lebanon emergency
The devastating bombings in Lebanon are claiming innocent lives and forcing thousands to flee their homes, including refugees in Lebanon.
Since October 2023 UNHCR and partners have been supporting with essential relief to both Lebanese citizens and refugees, including core relief items, cash assistance and rehabilitation of collective shelters, as well as psychosocial support. We are rapidly scaling up our efforts, but families urgently need shelter, blankets, clean water, cash assistance, and medical care and will need your support to continue efforts to assist recently displaced people.
Please donate to provide life-saving relief.
