As Lebanon is facing one of the most sudden, large scale waves of displacement in the country’s history, CARE Lebanon has been distributing vital goods such as soap, shampoo, sanitary pads and towels to displaced people. Many of these families had to flee their homes in a matter of moments and with very little or nothing at all.
As of March 26th, CARE and its partners have reached 23,750 people across 86 collective shelters, as well as displaced families living outside in makeshift sites. Inside the shelters, CARE Lebanon has been dedicated to distributing essential items that provide immediate relief. But supplies are running out fast. The need is urgent and immediate.
In this video, CARE team member Jinane El Homayra describes the urgent, immediate needs facing women, children, and men in informal shelters and on the streets.
