Anera’s Lebanon Country Director on the Displacement Crisis From Beirut

Posted in: 

Over a million people have been displaced across Lebanon just one month into the war, with overcrowded collective shelters struggling to meet urgent humanitarian needs. Samar El-Yassir, Anera’s Lebanon and Jordan country director, shares what’s happening on the ground, where families have fled their homes with nothing and shelters are beyond capacity.

Anera is providing emergency aid in these shelters, delivering essential support like food, clothing and medication to displaced families; but we need your support to continue. Donate today
