We are working alongside partnering churches to bring aid to Lebanese families who’ve left their homes during the current Middle East conflict. Please pray.
Samaritan’s Purse teams are working alongside partner churches to assist suffering families as chaos spreads into Lebanon. As many as 1 million people—about one-sixth of the country’s population—are on the move. Many are living with relatives or in hotels. About 128,000 Lebanese people are sheltering together in makeshift camps. Some are living on the streets.
Families in Lebanon are seeking refuge in the north of the country away from southern communities.
Church partners on the ground are identifying people in need and providing urgent relief. More than 500 families so far have been provided with food baskets including milk, rice, pasta, lentils, beans, and oil for preparing daily meals. Families have also received hygiene kits and bedding items.
As they walked the streets of Beirut to visit the suffering, one team identified many sick people with no access to medication. The team came back the very next day with the exact medications needed as well as food assistance. One of those who received help began weeping and said, “You didn’t lie to us. Everyone else takes our pictures and disappears, but you came back the next day.”
We praise God that families are experiencing His love through faithful churches.
Please pray for Lebanon and for families leaving their homes in search of safety.
