Supporting our Lebanon Emergency

Our emergency response

Rise Support are working on the ground in Lebanon to provide emergency aid to those affected by the explosion. Our UK team will be visiting the site in due course to deliver your aid directly to those in need. Whilst in Lebanon, we will be monitoring the situation to evaluate how we can support the people of Lebanon over the long term.

However, our initial focus is to provide immediate relief by distributing food, water and medical aid to those who are injured and lost their homes.

Rise Support has already started its response – we are looking at providing drinking water, food and medical aid for the people who have lost their homes.

A man asked the Messenger (PBUH) what the good qualities of Islam are. He replied,

To feed (others) and to greet those whom you know and those whom you do not know.”

Fighting malnutrition

The 1.5 million Syrian refugees in Lebanon are facing extreme food insecurity. Even before the virus spread, 73% of Syrian refugees in Lebanon were living below the poverty line, and for those living in temporary shelters and camps, that figure soars – only 4% of Syrian refugees in Beqaa have secure access to regular food.

Ten years of hunger. With the ongoing economic crisis in Lebanon, and in the aftermath of the Beirut blast, a staggering 94% of Syrian refugees are food insecure and urgently need help to access food. Help us to change this by providing regular food parcels this Ramadan and beyond.

Never going home

The continuing violence in Syria means that these families can’t go home. Those who ordinarily work are restricted to low-paid daily labour and have been pushed out of work due to the pandemic.

Your support is urgently needed to help keep Syrians fed as they struggle to stay nourished this Ramadan.

Together we can make a difference. Donate now.
