Deadly attacks in Lebanon have killed thousands of people and forced many more to flee, with 1.3 million people affected by the conflict.
Despite the ceasefire, the humanitarian situation remains dire. Families have begun returning home only to find utter destruction. Many people are still living in temporary shelters with nowhere else to go.
“The destruction around me is massive,” said Houssam Hariri, a UNHCR staff member. “Despite this, people are arriving in large numbers. We should stand with these people so that they are able to rebuild their lives from scratch.”
The break in conflict means that UNHCR can ramp up its work providing emergency supplies such as blankets, mattresses, winter jackets and solar lamps – but we need your help.
