Delivering Medicine to Refugees in Lebanon

by Anera

April 21, 2015

Posted in: 

Ten-year-old Malek introduces us to his family, living in a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon. His father, Ziad (Abu Malek), has diabetes.

Malek worries about his father’s health, accompanying him to the clinic to get insulin and following him wherever he goes.

Abu Malek is able to enjoy time with his son and the rest of his family thanks to a generous community of donors who make it possible for Anera to provide life-saving insulin to hundreds of clinics in Palestinian camps, helping thousands of refugees in Lebanon.
