Emergency aid being delivered to thousands of displaced families in Lebanon amid the ongoing crisis
Mission Viejo, CA - October 15, 2024 - Global humanitarian aid charity Human Appeal announces its latest humanitarian aid effort, in support of Lebanon amid the ongoing emergency gripping the country. This initial humanitarian intervention is designed to address the needs of 15,000 displaced individuals with special emphasis on families to cover multiple types of urgently needed relief aid. This aid effort will be followed by further phases to reach more beneficiaries over the coming weeks.

This latest relief effort from Human Appeal is being deployed by the charity’s team on the ground in response to this emergency and to provide displaced families who are sheltering in local schools with food, shelter and sanitation. Beginning in Sidon, this aid effort is already having an immediate effect.
The Human Appeal team is delivering:
● 15,000 Food parcels
● 15,000 Hygiene kits
● 15,000 Hot meals
● 6,000 mattresses
● 6,000 blankets
As the situation develops, Human Appeal will continue to raise emergency funds and deploy further aid to the displaced in Lebanon.
Owais Khan, Deputy CEO of Human Appeal, comments, ‘In light of the ongoing suffering in Lebanon with no end in sight, we have declared our latest humanitarian aid effort in the region to provide families with desperately needed relief items.
