How you can help
On August 4, an enormous explosion destroyed the port of Beirut, the capital city of Lebanon. It’s reported that at least 158 people are dead, 6,000 are injured and more than 300,000 people are now homeless.
Even before the explosion the people of Lebanon were enduring significant political and economic crisis, and the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic. Now, hospitals are heavily damaged and vital food supplies stored at the ports have been wiped out entirely.
Hospitals are unable to treat everyone, and people are being treated in the streets. Our partners, Triumphant Mercy, are responding immediately, working all hours at the blast site, distributing food for volunteer workers, helping with the clean up, and providing medical care in the streets and in people’s homes.
